note: see SF SERIES for solid front execution.
• Filling liquid
- glycerine (standard);
- silicone fluid, standard if the instrument is provided with electrical contact or, on request, as alternative to glycerine - option V64;
- special fluids (on request).
note: see also headings “Service conditions” and “Ambient temperature”.
• Pressure connection (according to EN 837-1)
G 1/2 B (1/2 Gas or BSP) or 1/2-14 NPT EXT (1/2 NPT) thread (others on request):
- AISI 316L stainless steel (execution 2);
- Monel 400 (option W04).
• Pressure element
- AISI 316L stainless steel (execution 2);
- Monel 400 (option M04 and W04).
note: pressure element pierced inside connection body for a depth 7 mm, according to petrol-chemical industry specification.
• Welding
- TIG.
• Movement
- stainless steel.
• Ranges (according to EN 837-1)
o Maximum values referred to NS:
- 1600 bar for NS 100 and 150;
- 1000 bar for NS 200 and 260.
o Divisions related to pressure values between -1 e 1600 bar:
- pressure gauges: see table C1 at page P04;
- vacuum gauges and compound gauges: see table C1 at page P04;
- other graduations not normalized for single or double range (on request).
o Unit of pressure:
- bar, kPa, MPa, kg/cm2 and psi for single or double range.
o Scale angle:
- 270°.
• Working pressure (referred to full scale deflection)
- steady from 1/10 to 3/4;
- fluctuating from 1/10 to 2/3;
- pulsating from 1/10 to 1/2.
• Over-pressure (occasionally allowed)
- 130% of full scale value (standard);
- 160% of full scale value (option V25);
- 250% of full scale value (option V27);
- for others over-pressure values use over-pressure protectors (see AM series).
• Pointer
- aluminium with micrometer adjustment for dry execution and for execution with electric contacts;
- aluminium not adjustable for liquid filled or fillable execution.
• Dial
white aluminium with black figures (for dial modifications see available options).
• Accuracy (according to EN 837-1)
- class 1 (± 1% of full scale deflection) standard.
note 1: accuracy indicated on the pressure gauge does not consider the interference of an eventually applied electric contact.
note 2: diaphragm seal can affect instrument accuracy according with the service conditions because of the pressure/temperature ratio.
• Ambient temperature
- -40 ÷ +60 °C dry execution;
- -20 ÷ +60 °C glycerine filled execution;
- -40 ÷ +60 °C silicone fluid filled execution.
• Thermal drift
- out of optimum ambient temperature values included within +15 ÷ +25°C, the thermal drift affects the instruments accuracy of 0,3% every 10°C.
• Service conditions
- see table SP 5 at page SP10.
