Specifications
Operating limits/Conditions:
Process:
Max.pressure : 5 bar @ 38°C (the max.pressure also depends on the length and temperature)
Max. temperature : 1200°C
The product is NOT suitable for use in the following
instances:
if it is likely to be exposed to vibrations (glass tube will break)
if the installation is situated by a walkway (possibility of blows/impact)
if exposed to steam (shortens glass tube life)
Specifications
Operating limits/Conditions:
Process:
Max.pressure : ANSI rating class 300 (A105 : 51 bar ; AISI316L : 49,6 bar) @ 38°C)
Max. temperature : 300°C (max.temperatureallowed by borosilicate glasses as per the DIN 7081 standard)
On request : rating class 600 (A105 : 102 bar ; AISI316L : 99,3 bar) @ 38°C
Specifications
Operating limits/Conditions:
Process:
Max.pressure : 160 bar @ 38°C (with cylindrical plug cocks or globe valves)
Max. temperature : 300°C (max.temperature allowed by borosilicate glasses as per the DIN 7081 standard)
Steam :
Max. pressure : 70 bar (with cylindrical plug cocks or globe valves)
Max. temperature : 280°C
This type of gauge is recommended:
for use with corrosive fluids (protective shield for the glass is required)
for steam with an operating pressure > 20 bar (protective shield for the glass is required)
if repeated thermal shocks are likely (protective shield for the glass is required)
for checking the interface (level of separation between two immiscible fluids)
for checking the colour of a fluid
for dirty/oily fluids
Specifications
Operating limits/Conditions:
Process:
Max.pressure : 160 bar @ 38°C (with GR18,MT18 or SHV type valves)
Max. temperature : 300°C (max.temperature allowed by borosilicate glasses as per the DIN 7081 standard)
Steam :
Max. pressure : 22 bar (with GR18, MT18 or SHV type valves)
Max. temperature : 216°C (saturated steam @ 22 bar)
For saturated steam values > 20 bar, a low-maintenance transparent level gauge with mica shield protection should be used.
Not only does the glass life depend on the temperature, it depends on the pH of the water (the higher the value, the shoster the glass life).
