PLUS! ™ Performance… Liquid-filled performance with out the fill!
The Problem… Vibration or pulsation can make a dry pressure gauge impossible to read. In the long term, these excesses can cause Bourdon tube failure leading to:
• Process contamination
• Environmental damage
• Personal injury
• Damage to plant and equipment
For years, gauge manufacturers have resorted to filling gauges with high viscosity fluids like glycerin and silicone to prevent pointer flutter.
While this option does dampen vibration, it also creates a variety of difficulties such as:
• Leaking gauges, messy recalibrations
• Increased manufacturing costs
• Costly specialty fluids for oxidizing applications
• Double inventory for process plants and distributors
