Dry Pressure Gauge for Severe Vibration Environments

Baumer’s industrial pressure gauge MEX5 is designed for use in corrosive atmospheres and fluids. The gauge, with its diameter of 100 mm, comes with a special dashpot for vibration resistance that, in some cases, eliminates the need for dampening liquid. The gauge is intended for process industries, such as the chemical, petro-chemical, energy, or gas industries. ATEX and GOST approved, the gauge can also be used for measuring the pressure in tanks on ships. The gauge has a stainless-steel sensing element and fully welded process connection. It supports an accuracy of one according to European norm EN 837-1 and conforms to Pressure Directive PED 97/23/CE. Available options include water-glycerin and silicon. The mechanical dampening achieved by the dashpot amounts to +/-1.6 percent of the measured pressure for the ranges 0-1 bar, 0-1.6 bar, and 0-2.5 bar. For pressures > 2.5 bar, the dashpot achieves a mechanical dampening effect of +/-1 percent.
