Description

Capsule gauges are specialized pressure instruments designed for precise measurement of low-pressure ranges, particularly in applications where standard gauges may lack sensitivity. These gauges use a capsule element—a thin, flexible, and sealed diaphragm—made from high-quality materials like stainless steel or Inconel to measure differential or absolute pressure.


Key Features of Capsule Gauges

  1. High Sensitivity: Ideal for measuring very low pressures, including vacuum or micro pressure levels.
  2. Durable Construction: Built with robust materials to withstand harsh environments, such as corrosive media or extreme temperatures.
  3. Versatile Designs: Available in different configurations, including bottom or back connections, ensuring compatibility with a variety of systems.
  4. Wide Range of Pressure Scales: Designed to measure from microbars to several hundred millibars, catering to diverse industry requirements.
  5. Reliable Accuracy: Provides precise readings with minimal error, making them suitable for critical operations.
  6. Customization Options: Many capsule gauges come with options for additional features, such as glycerin-filled cases for vibration damping or electronic outputs for advanced monitoring systems.

Applications of Capsule Gauges
These are extensively used in industries such as:

  1. HVAC Systems: For monitoring air pressure in ducts and cleanrooms.
  2. Medical and Pharmaceutical: For monitoring gas flow in oxygen delivery systems, autoclaves, and sterile environments.
  3. Process Industries: Used in chemical, petrochemical, and food industries to monitor low-pressure gases or liquids accurately.
  4. Power Plants: For precise vacuum pressure monitoring in turbines, condensers, and steam systems.
  5. Research Laboratories: For experiments requiring micro pressure measurements in controlled settings.
  6. Environmental Monitoring: Measuring atmospheric or air pressure changes in weather stations or pollution control systems.

Advantages of Capsule Gauges
Capsule gauges provide a reliable solution for low-pressure measurement, offering:

  1. Ease of Installation: Compact and lightweight designs make them simple to install in confined spaces.
  2. Cost Efficiency: Long service life and minimal maintenance reduce operational costs.
  3. Improved Safety: Designed to handle sensitive pressure ranges safely without risk of damage.
  4. Wide Operating Range: Suitable for diverse operating conditions, including environments with fluctuating temperatures or vibrations.
