PG28 Bourdon pressure gauge WIKA

Description

The WIKA PG28 Bourdon pressure gauge for the process industry is used for pressure measurement of gaseous and liquid media.

The PG28 model with wetted Hastelloy C276 parts is particularly suitable for applications with aggressive media. Hastelloy C276 belongs to the group of highly corrosion-resistant nickel-chromium-molybdenum-tungsten alloys and is known for its high resistance to cracking, corrosion and fracture in corrosive, oxidizing and reducing agents.

WIKA manufactures the PG28 model according to EN 837-1 in both the “S1” and the “S3” safety versions. The safety version consists of shatter-proof safety glass, a solid partition between the measuring system and the dial, and a vent.

In the event of a failure, the operator is protected at the front, as the media or components can only be ejected through the back of the housing. In harsh operating conditions (e.g. vibration), all instruments are also available with an additional liquid refill.

As an alternative, WIKA offers diaphragm seals models 990.34 and 990.10 and diaphragm pressure gauges model 4 in Hastelloy version. Membrane seals are always the first choice for safety-critical applications.

Accessories

The new WIKA pressure measurement system is an EMICO emission meter that ensures the safety of people and the environment in critical processes. The system consists of pressure gauges of models 2xx.30 in the safety version or S-3 in accordance with EN 837-1 (S3) and a valve to prevent fugitive emissions:

• IVM stop and vent valve with WIKA flange
• IV10 needle valve for WIKA pressure gauges
• IV11 multiport needle valve for WIKA pressure gauges
• IV20 shut-off and vent valve for WIKA pressure gauges
• IV21 shut-off and vent valve for WIKA pressure gauges

The measuring instrument and the valve are connected by a lightweight swivel adapter with a special sealing packing. The system is leak tested in accordance with TA Luft (VDI 2440) for fugitive emissions. The EMICO system measures pressures from 0 to 420 bar or 6000 psi. In the event of a failure due to high overpressure, the S-3 safety version protects the user from injury.

The compact measuring system can be started up immediately after delivery. The free rotating swivel adapter allows 360° positioning of the display and easy disassembly of the measuring instrument (in case calibration is required). In accordance with ISO 15848-1 and TA-Luft, S-3 pressure gauges can be combined with top valves in a fugitive design to form EMICO gauges.
