Pressure Gauge Protection with Siphons
To safeguard a pressure gauge Bourdon tube from live steam exposure, it is essential to install a siphon filled with water between the gauge and the process line. This setup effectively prevents steam from directly entering the gauge.
Diaphragm Seal Consideration
In situations where there is a risk of condensate freezing within the siphon loop, it is advisable to utilize a diaphragm seal. This component serves to isolate the gauge from the process steam, ensuring reliable operation even in challenging conditions.
Versatile Use of Siphons
Siphons are not limited to steam applications; they can also be employed whenever condensing hot vapors are present. This versatility makes them a valuable addition to various industrial processes.
