    Diaphragm pressure gauges use a flexible circular diaphragm to measure gas and liquid pressures between 10 mbar to 40 bar. The diaphragm is clamped between flanges and flexes when pressure is applied, transmitting movement to a pointer via a link to indicate the measured pressure. They are suitable for gauge, absolute and differential pressure measurements and have advantages of measuring low pressures, withstanding overpressure, and compatibility with corrosive media. Failure can occur via cracking from contaminants in the measured gas or liquid.

     Diaphragm Pressure Gauges

    Diaphragm pressure gauges are used to measure gas and liquids. They cover
    measuring spans from 10 mbar to 40 bar. The measuring element consists of one
    circular diaphragm clamped between a pair of flanges.

    - suitable for gauge, absolute and differential pressure.

     Element/s:
    Diaphragm- the core; circular, corrugated diaphragm which is clamped or
    welded between two flanges.
    Flexible Membrane- two sides;
    Meter- to show the pressure measurement

     Advantages
    1. Measurement of low pressures
    2. High overpressure safety
    3. Use with critical media

     How does it work?


    A diaphragm pressure gauge is a device that uses a diaphragm with a known
    pressure to measure pressure in a fluid. It has many different uses, such as
    monitoring the pressure of a canister of gas, measuring atmospheric pressure,
    or recording the strength of the vacuum in a vacuum pump.

    The diaphragm is an elastic membrane that elongates when pressure is applied


    to it. The diaphragm is a single sheet which elongate, Joining two diaphragm to form a
    capsule. Two capsules joining to form a stacked diaphragm.
    Adding more capsules to the diaphragm increases the sensitivity of the gauge. When
    pressure is applied to the diaphragm, it flexes. The movement is transmitted by a link
    that connects to the pointer. The pointer moves to indicate the amount of pressure
    applied to the diaphragm. The diaphragm stays at the original position until a pressure
    is applied to it.

     Capsule
    The sensing element of a capsule pressure gauge consists of two corrugated
    diaphragms welded together at their periphery to form a capsule. The pressure
    to be measured is introduced into the capsule via an opening in the center of
    the first diaphragm. The center of the second diaphragm is connected to the
    transmission mechanism so that the deflection of the measuring element can
    be
    transmitted
    to the
    pointer.

     Applications for diaphragm pressure gauges:


    1. With liquid filled case for applications with high dynamic pressure pulsations
    or vibration
    2. Suitable in corrosive environments for gaseous, liquid or highly viscous
    media.
    3. Process industry: chemical/petrochemical, power stations, mining, on and
    offshore, environmental technology, mechanical engineering and plant
    construction

     Materials of Construction

     Elastomers are commonly used, and include a wide variety of both general
    purpose and speciality rubbers.
     Metal diaphragms of stainless steel (several grades), Carpenter 20,
    Hastelloy, Monel, Inconel, tantalum, titanium and several other metals are in
    common use where high pressure ratings and specific chemical
    compatibility are required.
     Depending on the PSI levels of the sealing application, the diaphragm may
    require fabric reinforcement. Typically, PSI under 5 does not require fabric
    reinforcement. A PSI between 5 and 10 is application dependent. Anything
    above 10 almost always needs fabric reinforcemen

    To make their diaphragms resistant against aggressive substances, a whole


    multitude of special materials can be exploited from PTFE, via tantalum,
    Hastelloy or titanium, through to gold.

     Spring tempering - a form of heat treating. It causes the metal to closely


    retain its original shape while allowing flexing or "elasticity" under load.

     Cause of failure
    Diaphragm seals are susceptible to failure via several mechanisms,
    including cracking. Ozone cracking can occur in many elastomers for example
    used in pneumatic systems. If the gas contaminates the air supply, then many
    rubber diaphragms are at risk from the problem.
