This technology works great for many applications; however, direct contact with hot or corrosive media can lead to damage or even destruction of the measuring device. In the food,beverage,life sciences\u00a0and pharmaceutical industries, connection configurations using Tri-clamps\u00ae or similar,\u00a0are required to ensure hygienic conditions.\u00a0Cavities and dead space\u00a0(resting place for bacteria) must be avoided to ensure proper cleaning of the equipment. A diaphragm seal is a protective device with a thin, flexible membrane of corrosion-resistant material between the measuring device and the process media to be measured. This prevents the potentially damaging media from touching the sensitive workings of the measuring device or adapting a \u201cstandard\u2019 instrument process connection into an industry accepted connection type. Since the diaphragm on the seal is flexible, the pressure of the media creates a slight movement in the diaphragm creating a volume displacement\u00a0on the opposite side from the process\u00a0media. This volume displacement generates a positive pressure or vacuum which\u00a0is transferred through the diaphragm seal system\u00a0fill fluid to the pressure gauge or sensor to produce a pressure reading.<\/p>\n<h2><strong>Diaphragm <\/strong><strong>I<\/strong><strong>NLINE SEAL\u2122<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>Diaphragm INLINE SEAL\u2122 are ideal for use with flowing pressurized\u00a0media. An inline diaphragm seal is integrally mounted into the piping system to measure pressure within a flowing process media without disturbing the media flow. WIKA&#8217;s\u00a0INLINE SEAL\u2122 uses a cylindrical diaphragm to avoid interruptions to the process flow, removes eddies,dead space and protrusions into the process.\u00a0The inline seal with the diaphragm is sandwiched between two process flanges \u2013 mating connections. Inline seals can be installed with a variety of process connections to meet industry needs including; safety,\u00a0easy cleaning and eliminating dead spaces. WIKA\u2019s diaphragm INLINE SEAL\u2122 when configured properly with the pressure measuring instrument can maintain the instruments linearity accuracy and potentially can be exposed to a process media temperature up to +400\u00b0C. <a href=\"http:\/\/blog.wika.com\/us\/\/files\/2015\/04\/2015-blog-16-image-inline-seal.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/blog.wika.com\/us\/\/files\/2015\/04\/2015-blog-16-image-inline-seal.jpg\" alt=\"2015 blog 16 image inline seal\" class=\"alignnone\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<h2>Diaphragm <strong>INLINE SEAL\u2122<\/strong> <strong>for Life Sciences, Pharmaceutical, Beverage and Food Applications<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>Pharmaceutical, life sciences, beverage\u00a0and the food industries have stringent sanitary requirements, enforced by regulators on both the federal and state level.
