Product catalog summary
Overview: This document is a specification guide for selecting pressure and temperature gauges in the process industry, provided by Winters Instruments, a manufacturer of industrial instrumentation.
Pressure Gauges: The guide details various series of pressure gauges, including PPC, PSC, PTR, and PPS, each with specific features such as dial size, case material, lens type, movement, bourdon tube, socket, accuracy, scale, connection, and warranty. Key features include phenolic safety cases, stainless steel components, and options for liquid filling and dampened movement.
Diaphragm Seals: Diaphragm seals are available in various materials like 316 SS, Hastelloy, and Monel, with pressure ratings up to 2,500 psi. They are used to protect gauges from corrosive or clogging media and are available in different configurations such as welded, flanged, and threaded.
Accessories: Accessories for pressure gauges include cooling towers, overpressure protectors, snubbers, and syphons, constructed from materials like brass and stainless steel, designed to protect instruments from high temperatures, overpressure, and pulsation.
Temperature Gauges: The document describes remote reading thermometers and bi-metal thermometers, with options for different dial sizes, case materials, and stem configurations. Thermowells are also available in various materials and configurations to protect temperature sensors.
Selection Recommendations: Recommendations include selecting appropriate connections, using diaphragm seals for clogging or corrosive media, choosing the correct gauge size and pressure range, and considering environmental factors like vibration and temperature.
