Seals
The media is corrosive and may damage a sensitive element such as a Bourdon tube gauge,
pressure switch or transmitter diaphragm.
The temperature of the media may be too high for a standard gauge, switch or transmitter to
operate properly.
The media is highly viscous or tends to crystallize, or polymerize and may clog the pressure
port of a gauge, switch or transmitter.
The media is non-homogenous or contains suspended matter such as wood pulp which may
clog the pressure port of a gauge, switch or transmitter.
Remote reading is required. A diaphragm seal with a capillary line will allow remote installation
of a pressure instrument.
The sanitary cleanliness level is critical. A flush mounted or INLINE SEAL™ sanitary type
diaphragm seal avoids dead space and cavities.
The media is toxic or hazardous and may pollute the environment. A suitably designed diaphragm
seal will provide additional protection.
The application requires high overpressure protection. A diaphragm seal with a contoured
diaphragm bed can be configured to provide overpressure protection and protection to the
instrument.
WIKA diaphragm seal systems are an excellent value and offer savings by:
A diaphragm within the diaphragm seal separates the gauge / transmitter from the process medium. Any part
of the diaphragm seal (i.e., diaphragm, lower housing, gaskets) which will be exposed to the process medium is
selected from materials resistant to pressure, temperature and possible chemical attack by the process medium.
The diaphragm seal is also filled with a transmitting fluid or system fill fluid. Any pressure applied by the process
medium to the seal diaphragm is hydraulically transmitted to the pressure element of the gauge/switch/transmit-
ter thus generating a pressure reading.

1. Process composition
Since the diaphragm and lower housing of the diaphragm seal will be exposed to the process medium, it is critical
to select materials for these components which will be compatible with this medium. Tables are available to assist
in the selection of these materials (see Pressure Gauge Section), however the customer is the ultimate source for
specifying suitable materials. WIKA cannot guarantee suitability. For information, see numerous reference guides such
as corrosion table reference books. If the pressure fluid is very thick, solidifies, or is full of solids this should also be
taken into consideration.
2. Temperature
Each diaphragm seal measurement system (diaphragm seal, pressure instrument, and cooling element or capillary,
if applicable) is filled with an amount of fill fluid at ambient temperature of about 70oF. This temperature is referred
to as the system fill temperature. The fill fluid will expand or contract according to temperature changes. This in
turn causes the pressure in the sensing element to rise or fall, thus adding zero shifting effects to the instrument out-
put. To reduce this effect, the temperatures of the process and the environment should be specified when select-
ing a diaphragm seal system (see Diaphragm Seal Specification Sheet). Special advanced calibration techniques
can be used to ensure the best possible accuracy. At temperatures above 212oF a cooling element or capillary is
suggested to protect the pressure instrument.
3. Pressure range
The displacement volume on the diaphragm seal required to "drive" each diaphragm seal measurement system
(diaphragm seal, pressure instrument and capillary, if applicable) must be greater than the displacement volume
needed to move the pressure sensing element. Normally, the lower the pressure range, the larger the diaphragm is
required to "drive" the system. Conversely, for higher pressure ranges smaller diaphragms are sufficient.
Pressure transmitters also follow the general rule of the lower the pressure, the larger the diaphragm required.
4. Pressure instrument
As mentioned above (Item 3 Pressure range) the diaphragm seal must supply sufficient displacement volume to
enable the pressure instrument to reach full scale. As a general rule, smaller size gauges are better suited to low
pressure applications since less displacement volume is required on the part of the diaphragm seal to drive the
pressure instrument.
5. Process connection
The process connection is specified by the customer. Most process connections are threaded, flanged, or
clamped; however, additional connections are available. Teflon® coating and lining is only available in flanged
connections, since tapered NPT threads strip off the Teflon® during installation. However, solid Teflon® threaded
connections are available with NPT threads.
a. For gauges mounted above the level of the diaphragm seal, the pointer on the
dial of the gauge will be lower than the zero point.
b. For gauges mounted below the level of the diaphragm seal, the pointer on the
dial of the gauge will be higher than the zero point.
The diaphragm seal system can be calibrated to compensate for the effect caused by the hydrostatic pressure,
if the level difference is known in advance (see Diaphragm Seal Specification Sheet for assistance).
8. Response time
Response time, i.e., the time it takes the pressure instrument to indicate 90% of the value of a sudden pressure
variation, is especially important for instrument/diaphragm seal assemblies which include a capillary. Response
time increases significantly in systems with long capillaries. In applications requiring long capillaries, response
times can be reduced by using larger diameter capillary tubing and reducing the viscosity of the system fill fluid.
Be advised that increasing the inner diameter of the capillary increases the temperature influence of the measuring
system. Consult factory if detailed information is needed.

The Type L910.ZA saddle seal is made to measure process flow pressure. The saddle portion of this seal (lower
housing) is welded to the external surface of a pipe with a hole opening to the process flow. This seal can be
used with low to high viscous process media. This construction allows for a wide variety of usable materials
to be assembled to meet the requirements of most flow applications.
Standard Features
Design: The diaphragm is welded to the upper housing of the seal that allows for the removal from the lower housing
without jeopardizing the integrity of the system fill fluid and installed instrument. The upper and lower housing are bolted
together and sealed by use of an O-ring. The radius on this lower housing is machined to fit the contour of the outside
diameter of the process pipe.
