Product catalog summary
Overview of Clogging Indicators
Clogging indicators are crucial for monitoring filter efficiency by measuring pressure drop, alerting users before filters are fully clogged. MP Filtri offers various designs, including vacuum switches, pressure switches, and differential pressure indicators, with options for visual and electrical signals.
Types of Clogging Indicators
  • Barometric Indicators: Used on return lines to measure upstream pressure, with standard R 1/8” EN 10226 connections.
  • Differential Indicators: Used on pressure lines to measure upstream and downstream pressure, available in G 1/2” size and stainless steel models.
  • Vacuum Indicators: Used on suction lines to measure downstream pressure, with standard R 1/4” EN 10226 connections.
Technical Specifications
  • Vacuum Indicators: Made with brass, nylon, and silver contacts, with a vacuum setting of -0.21 bar ±10%, max pressure of 10 bar, and proof pressure of 15 bar. Operate from -25 °C to +80 °C, IP65 rated.
  • Barometric Indicators: Made with painted steel and plastic, max pressure of 40 bar, proof pressure of 60 bar, operating from -25 °C to +80 °C, IP65 rated.
Ordering and Configuration
Indicators come with various electrical connections and configurations, customizable with different lamp voltages and resistive loads. Ordering codes specify type and settings for tailored solutions.
Specifications
  • Pressure Settings: Available at 1.2, 2, 5, 7, and 9.5 bar with ±10% tolerance.
  • Materials: Include brass, stainless steel, nylon, silver contacts, and seals from HNBR, FPM, or MFQ.
  • Technical Data: Max working pressure 420 bar, proof pressure 630 bar, burst pressure 1260 bar, operating from -25°C to +110°C, compatible with ISO 2943 fluids.
  • Electrical Data: Compliant with IEC 61076-2-101 D (M12) and EN 175301-803, with 24 Vdc power supply and 4 to 20 mA analogue outputs.
Procedures and Standards
  • Degree of Protection: Rated IP65 to IP69K per EN 60529 and ISO 20653.
  • Certification: Certified under ATEX, IECEx, TRCU, INMETRO, and UL/CSA for hazardous areas.
Recommendations and Best Practices
  • Ensure fluid compatibility and adhere to pressure and temperature limits.
  • Follow specified tightening torque during installation.
Ordering and Configuration
  • Ordering codes provided for standard, hazardous area, and customized options, with examples for different series and types.

CLOGGING INDICATORS-1

Clogging Indicators Clogging indicators are devices that check the life time of the filter elements. They measure the pressure drop through the filter element directly connected to the filter housing. These devices trip when the clogging of the filter element causes a pressure drop increasing across the filter element. Filter elements are efficient only if their Dirt Holding Capacity is fully exploited. This is achieved by using filter housings equipped with clogging indicators. The indicator is set to alarm before the element becomes fully clogged. MP Filtri can supply indicators of the following designs: - Vacuum switches and gauges - Pressure switches and gauges - Differential pressure indicators These type of devices can be provided with a visual, electrical or both signals. The electronic differential pressure clogging indicator is also available. It provides both analogical 4-20 mA output and digital warning (75% of clogging) and alarm (clogging) outputs.
