Diaphragm seals are used to separate the pressure medium from the measuring element of the pressure gauge (or pressure switch). This means that pressures can also be measured in hygienic applications and with corrosive or pasty media.
Diaphragm seals are manufactured according to DIN or ANSI standards.
Depending on the model, the following materials of the wetted parts are available for selection:
04.2B0 Process connection: thread from 0...1 to 0...160 bar + -1...0 bar Many materials to choose from For demanding continuous operation Option: overload proof up to 210 bar
04.400 Process connection: flange from 0...1 to 0...40 bar Flange with through holes Quasi-front flush Cost-effective realization of various wetted materials Option: PTFE coating
04.SAN Process connection: clamp DIN 11851, SMS681, RJT/APV, IDF/ISS from 0...1 to 0...40 bar hygienic applications and food technology Surface 0.76...0.38 µm
04.AL Process connection: clamp ISO 2852 1 1/2", 2" or 2 1/2" from 0...1 to 0...40 bar hygienic applications and food technology Surface 0.76...0.38 µm
Diaphragm seals are separators that are connected to a pressure gauge directly or via a capillary line. They allow the measurement of process media when
these are too hot for the measuring element of the pressure gauge,
in case of direct contact, the wetted parts of the pressure gauge will corrode or be attacked,
these are very viscous (tough) or contain sediments,
these harden with temperature changes (e.g. adhesives)
dead rooms are to be avoided for hygienic reasons (food industry).
Diaphragm seals are also used where the pressure measuring point and the place where the pressure is to be read are remote from each other, e.g. for safety reasons with hazardous media.
