FAQs of Electrical Diaphragm Pressure Gauge:
Q: How does the diaphragm sensor improve pressure measurement accuracy?
A: The diaphragm sensor isolates the measured fluid from the gauge mechanism, providing accurate readings by minimizing contamination and mechanical interference. It is ideal for reliably measuring non-corrosive fluids, gases, water, and oil, with an accuracy of 1.6% FSD.
Q: What is the process for installing this pressure gauge in an industrial setup?
A: Installation is straightforward; mount the gauge using the bottom or back connection (1/2 BSP thread) and ensure proper electrical connections according to the SPST/SPDT contact type. Verify compatibility with your voltage (220V AC/24V DC) and current (1A max) requirements for optimal operation.
Q: When should the electrical contact block be used during operation?
A: The electrical contact block is especially useful when remote signaling or automatic responses are needed. It provides switching functionality (SPST or SPDT), enabling the gauge to trigger alarms or shutoffs at preset pressure points within the 0250 psi range.
Q: Where can this pressure gauge be utilized effectively?
A: This gauge is suitable for industrial environments, such as manufacturing plants, chemical processing, and water treatment facilities. Its rugged build and weatherproof enclosure (IP65) make it ideal for both indoor and outdoor applications involving non-corrosive fluids.
Q: What are the benefits of the IP65 weatherproof enclosure?
A: The IP65 rating ensures complete protection against dust and water jets, extending the gauges lifespan in challenging conditions. This level of protection minimizes maintenance needs and safeguards the gauges internal components from environmental damage.
Q: How does overload protection contribute to reliable measurement?
A: The gauge can withstand pressures up to 130% of full scale deflection (FSD) without damage or loss of accuracy, making it resilient to unexpected pressure spikes and enhancing operational safety and durability.
