STEWARTS PRESSURE GAUGE 100MM 1/2″ BOTTOM MONEL TUBE -1 TO 1.5 BAR 2112207C11/5B-KMVY

Description

Key Features:

• Monel Tube Construction: Monel is a nickel-copper alloy known for its excellent corrosion resistance, particularly in harsh environments like seawater, chemicals, and high-temperature systems. This makes the gauge well-suited for aggressive fluids and corrosive environments.
• Vacuum and Positive Pressure Range: With a range of -1 to 1.5 Bar, the gauge can measure both negative (vacuum) and positive pressures, making it versatile in a wide range of applications.
• Bottom Mount: The 1/2″ Bottom Mount allows for easy installation in systems where space is limited or a specific installation orientation is required.
• Dial Size: The 100mm dial is large enough for easy reading, even from a distance or in environments with less than ideal visibility.
• Accuracy: Known for high accuracy, the gauge ensures precise pressure measurement, which is crucial for system control and safety in critical applications.
• Range of Use: Ideal for systems operating in medium pressure ranges (vacuum to 1.5 Bar) such as pumps, compressors, hydraulic systems, industrial pipelines, and safety monitoring.

Specifications:

1. Dial Size:

   • 100mm diameter (standard for industrial use).

2. Pressure Range:

   • -1 to 1.5 Bar (indicating both negative and positive pressures).
   • Suitable for applications involving vacuum pressures (below atmospheric pressure) and positive pressures (above atmospheric pressure).

3. Construction:

   • Monel Tube: Ensures durability and corrosion resistance in harsh environments.
   • Stainless Steel Case: This provides additional strength and resistance to corrosion and impacts.

4. Connection:

   • 1/2″ Bottom Mount: The gauge connects to the process system using a 1/2″ NPT (National Pipe Thread) or equivalent threaded connection at the bottom, which allows for vertical mounting and space-efficient installation.

5. Accuracy:

   • Typically, industrial gauges like this one offer ±1.6% of Full Scale accuracy or better, depending on the specific calibration and tolerances.

6. Temperature Range:

   • Designed to operate in a broad temperature range, typically -20°C to 65°C (but verify with manufacturer or datasheet for specific ranges).

7. Scale:

   • The gauge scale is typically marked with both Bar and PSI, allowing for easy conversion between pressure units.

8. Applications:

   • Vacuum systems (measuring negative pressures).
   • Hydraulic systems: Monitoring fluid pressure.
   • Pumps and compressors: Ensuring operational pressure is within desired range.
   • Industrial pipelines: For safety and monitoring purposes.
   • Water treatment plants: Measuring pressure in filtration systems or other equipment.

9. Safety Features:

   • Overpressure Protection: Usually designed to withstand overpressure conditions without damaging the internals, but the specific overpressure tolerance should be checked in the datasheet.
   • Internal Dampening: Some models include dampening mechanisms to reduce the effect of pressure pulsations, ensuring more stable readings in fluctuating pressure environments.

10. Mounting Options:

    • Bottom mount is typically used for easier installation in vertical pipes or vessels.

Advantages:

• Corrosion Resistance: Monel material ensures it can withstand harsh and corrosive environments, making it perfect for use in the chemical and offshore industries.
• Versatility: Can be used in both vacuum and positive pressure applications.
• Durability: Designed for high-strength performance in industrial settings with extreme conditions.
• Clear Readability: The 100mm dial provides a large, easily readable scale for accurate monitoring.
• Wide Range of Applications: Suited for a wide variety of industries, such as oil & gas, water treatment, chemical processes, and more.

Applications:

• Chemical Processing: Monitoring pressures in reactors, pumps, and tanks.
• Power Generation: Used in steam turbines, compressors, and piping systems.
• Water and Wastewater: In pumps, treatment systems, and filtration equipment.
• Oil & Gas: Used in hydraulic systems, wellheads, and pipeline pressure monitoring.
• General Industrial Use: Ideal for various other industrial machinery, heating systems, and process equipment requiring accurate pressure measurements.
