MUD Gauges

MODEL : MUDG

Features
n Designed for Oil industries / Coal industries.
n This Gauge is specially designed to measure the pressure of pulsating fluids
including solid particles in suspension of stand pipe of mud pumps.
n It can also be used for any other fluids.
n Its sturdy construction can undergo severe working conditions.
n The pressure ranges meet every requirement of the oil industry.
n Pressure too high indicates a plugged drill bit or an increase in mud density or
viscosity. Early indication of mud pump pressure provides an early warning of
circulation problems enabling driller to make suitable corrections and helps to
avoid major problems.

Operating Principle
n The pressure is transmitted by a stainless steel diaphragm (1.4404/AISI 316L) to a
liquid (silicon oil) which totally fills the Bourdon tube, the capillary tube and the pressure
chamber.
n A rubber plug isolator protects the stainless steel diaphragm from the circuit.
n The sudden pressure variations are dampened in the capillary tube (connection pipe)
n The whole pressure element is mounted in an oil-filled case which absorbs all the
displacements of the movable parts as well as the external vibrations.
n The oil also ensures the lubrication of the linkages, eliminates corrosion and avoids
condensation on the window of the pressure gauge.
