Pressure Gauge Accessories

Pressure gauge accessories are additional components used to enhance the functionality, protection, and accuracy of pressure gauges in various applications. These accessories can help protect pressure gauges from damage, ensure proper installation, and extend the service life of the gauge. Here are some common pressure gauge accessories and their functions:Siphons: Purpose: A siphon is a U-shaped tube or pipe that is used to prevent hot or corrosive liquids from directly contacting the pressure gauge. Function: The siphon creates a loop in the piping system that traps the fluid, which helps cool it down or prevent it from directly affecting the gauge, thus protecting the gauge from extreme temperatures. Applications: Commonly used in steam systems or systems with high-temperature fluids to protect the gauge from thermal damage. 9. Manifolds: Purpose: Pressure gauge manifolds allow for the installation of multiple gauges and valves on a single unit, simplifying system connections and providing multiple pressure measurement points. Function: Manifolds can be equipped with shut-off valves, bleeder valves, and other features, making it easier to isolate, calibrate, and service pressure gauges. Applications: Used in systems where multiple pressure readings are required at different points in the system, such as in large-scale industrial processes or systems with multiple branches.
