Diaphragm seals protect expensive measuring instruments from direct contact with potentially dangerous process media. Adding a diaphragm seal to a pressure gauge or sensor offers protection from corrosive media and mitigates the impact of both high- and …

Getting a Grip on Dual-Purpose Capillary Lines
Chi-Che Ma | PressureAn instrument capillary line can serve a dual purpose. First, capillary lines, or tubes, are a convenient method for separating a pressure instrument such as a gauge or transmitter from the process connection so the reading can be taken at a more accessible location. …
How to Choose the Right Fill Fluid for Your Diaphragm Seal
Chi-Che Ma | PressureA diaphragm seal is designed to protect expensive instruments. It operates by transferring the pressure effect of a process media through a membrane-like seal to a fill fluid that then transfers the resulting pressure wave to a pressure gauge or sensor at the head of …
Extreme Process Temperatures Need Diaphragm Seals with Cooling Elements
Chi-Che Ma | PressureExtreme process temperatures need diaphragm seals with cooling elements, heat will degrade almost any mechanical or electronic device over time. Similarly, extreme process temperatures have been shown to dramatically reduce the functional lifetimes of sensitive …
Diaphragm Monitoring System: Extra Protection Where It Matters Most
Chi-Che Ma | PressureDemanding industrial environments benefit from having backup mechanisms in place to contain problems if the first line of defense fails. This is the principle behind the WIKA Diaphragm Monitoring System, which features a double-diaphragm seal . Diaphragm seals use a …
