432.50 WIKA industrial diaphragm pressure gauge

Description

The 432.50 WIKA industrial diaphragm manometer is preferably used for low pressure areas. Through the large working area of the circular, corrugated diaphragm element, small pressure ranges can be reliably measured.

The 432.50 diaphragm pressure gauge is manufactured in accordance with EN 837-3. The high-quality design makes it particularly suitable for use in the chemical, petrochemical, oil and gas and power industries.
The stainless steel housing and wet parts meet the high requirements for resistance to aggressive media. For particularly high resistance requirements, the pressure chamber of this diaphragm pressure gauge can optionally be manufactured with a wide range of special materials such as PTFE, tantalum or Hastelloy.

For low pressure areas, diaphragm manometers are preferred. Small pressure ranges can be reliably measured through the large working area of the circular corrugated diaphragm element.

For the measurement of highly viscous, crystallising or contaminated media, the use of an open connecting flange is recommended. An open connection flange is preferred over a threaded connection because the pressure connection cannot be blocked. The pressure chamber can be easily cleaned with an additional flushing connection on the open connection flange.

Metering systems with diaphragm elements offer good overpressure protection due to their design, as the diaphragm support can rest on the top flange. The 432.50 membrane model is already equipped with overload protection as standard, which is 5 times the full value. Higher overload protection can be achieved if desired.
