Pressure gauges are used in various environments where they can be exposed to extreme temperatures. These temperature sources can be either from the ambient surrounding environment temperatures, or the actual temperature of the process media. You need instrumentation that can withstand extreme temperature ranges. Do you have the best instruments and accessories for your application?

Instrument assemblies can help protect your equipment and ensure reliable and accurate pressure readings of your process. Assemblies that include accessories such as diaphragm seals, capillary, pulsation dampeners and Ashcroft type 2198 and 1198 siphons can help mitigate extreme effects, including high temperature, pulsation and vibration. Along with dissipating these effects, diaphragm seals/instrument isolators can prevent clogging of the instrument from a dirty process. A seal is also available in many wetted materials for compatibility with the process, making them a popular choice to mount to instruments. But what is a welded instrument assembly and when is it appropriate to use one?

Pressure gauges are often used in challenging environments where they could be exposed to extreme temperatures that may damage them or impact their accuracy.

Diaphragm seals are a vital component to many applications that must ensure the safety of pressure measurement instruments in harsh environments. A quality diaphragm seal can provide a leak-tight and corrosion-resistant seal between a pressure instrument and your process. For many applications, a flanged diaphragm seal connection provides a convenient way to attach instrumentation directly onto flanged process piping without having to use threaded connections. But how do you properly install a flanged diaphragm seal to maximize its benefits?

The purpose of a manifold valve is to isolate or block the flow of fluid in the system so the process media may be isolated from pressure instrumentation. A block-and-bleed manifold is used to isolate or block the upstream process media from the instrumentation and allows the bleeding off or venting of the remaining fluid from the system on the downstream side of the manifold.

Pressure transducers can be used in many challenging environments where they may be exposed to extreme temperatures but are expected to operate reliably and predictably. These challenging temperature exposures can come from a few sources such as the surrounding environment (ambient temperature), radiation (sunlight), or the temperature of the process media being measured (media temperature).
