 Mechanical pressure gauges
This device program offers a selection of indicating and
controlling pressure gauges for several fields of applicat-
ion.
The pressure gauges contain measuring components
which deflect elastically under influence of a compres-
sion. This deflection movement is transmitted onto a
needle mechanism. Depending on application, devices
suitable are with bourdon tube spring, diaphragm or
capsule element measurement system.
All pressure gauges are produced in accordance with
the valid DIN/EN standards.
The devices listed in this catalog are technically up to
scratch.
We reserve technical changes in the course of further
development.
Selection criteria, measurement setup,
installation
When selecting pressure gauges, EN537-2 is generally
to be considered. Subsequently, some important points
are explicitly listed.
• Thrust pressure must not exceed the measuring
range of the pressure gauges. Where appropriate,
overload protection devices are to be installed.
• Pressure gauges are to be installed in such a way,
that permissible temperatures neither exceed nor fall
below when the influence of convection and heat
radiation is taken into consideration.
• The devices, stop valves and cocks are to be
protected by sufficiently long measurement leads or
siphones.
• If the temperature of the unit deviates by 20 °C, the
influence on pressure reading is to be interpreted as
follows:
At pressure gauges with bourdon tube spring and
diaphragm measurement system, the indication error
per 1 0 K temperature increase or decrease is approx.
+ 0,3% and/or approx. - 0,3% of the respective scale
value.
With capsule element pressure gauges, the pressure
reading error increases by approx. +/- 0,5% / 1 0 K
temperature deviation of the measurement system.
This is due to the circular tension of the capsule
element measurement system.
• With abrasive, hot, highly viscous or crystallizing
media diaphragm seals must be used as pressure
transmitter.
A neutral fluid is used for pressure transfer to the
measuring unit. This fluid is be selected depending
on the actual service conditions. The connection
between pressure gauge and separation module
must not be cut.
• If an increased hazard to operating personnel through
bursting components is a possibility, e.g. in the case
of gases or liquids under high pressure, safer variety
of pressure gauges should be installed.
• If pressure gauges can not be protected against
vibrations by suitable installations, capillary type of
instruments are to be used.
• Depending on purpose, stop valves or stop cocks
have to be added upstream of pressure gauges.
Such fittings are used for adjustment of the zero point
and replacement of the measuring instrument in situ.
With e.g. steam boilers, the valves must have a test
connection for checking the pressure gauge without
dismounting.
• The pressure gauge must be fixed vibration-less and
should be positioned in a well visible position. If the
measurement line is not sufficiently stable to support
the pressure gauge vibrationless, a wall bracket or a
fixing of the device in the form of a front or back
flange is to be provided at the casing.
• The pressure test connection should be positioned in
such a way that uniform test conditions are available.
• The measurement line between pressure test
connection and pressure gauge must be designed in
such a way that it can compensate for any strain,
elongation, oscillation and heat-expansion.
The inner diameter of the line is to be selected
sufficiently large to prevent obstructions. Additionally,
the measurement line should be laid with a constant
inclination of 1 : 1 5 .
• If there is a height difference between pressure test
connection and measuring instrument and if the
measuring medium in the measurement tube has a
different density as the ambient air, then a shift in the
measurement starting point is caused.
The reading is reduced or extended by ∆p if the
pressure gauge is mounted above or below the
pressure test connection level.
• To place pressure gauge in a position where it can be
read clearly, a connection with clamping sleeve or
union nut is recommended. Use sealing washers or
sealing rings to connect the measuring instruments.
Pressure gauges must not be turned at the casing
during assembly and/or disassembly but must only be
clamped by using the connection bolt-flats.
• During a pressure test, make sure that the measuring
instrument is not pressurized above its indicated
limitation mark on the face. If necessary, isolate or
disconnect the pressure gauge.

gladly advise you.

SIKA Bourdon Tube Pressure Gauges with Limit-Switch Contact Assemblies
Type MRS case mild steel
Type MRE case stainless steel 1.4301

This page contains complete information about the minimum

signaling range of bourdon tube pressure gauges type
MRS/MRE, including the versions with oil filling and contact de-
vice. In addition, sketches indicating the position of the electri-
cal connections are given.

Page 4, 8, and 11 list all essential details of the available types

MRS/MRE without contact device. Fluid filled manometers
with contact device have a special oil filling instead of glycerin
filling.

More information, especially about the different switching func-

tions, can be found on page 32 and 33.

Minimum Pressure ranges

To trigger a limit contact, each pressure gauge needs a spec-
ific guiding force applied to the measurement unit. Thus appli-
cation depends on the pressure values given in the table
below.

SIKA Diaphragm Pressure Gauges with Limit-Switch Contact Assemblies
Type MPS case mild steel
Type MRE stainless steel case 1.4301

This page contains complete information about the minimum

pressure range of diaphragm pressure gauges type MPS and
MPE, including the MPE versions with oil filling and contact de
vice. In addition, sketches indicating the position of the electri-
cal connections are given.

Page 18 and 23 list all essential details of the available types

MPS / MPE without contact device. Liquid filled pressure gau-
ges with contact device have a special oil filling instead of a
glycerin filling.

More information, especially about the different switching func-

tions, can be found on page 32 and 33.

Minimum Pressure ranges

To trigger a limit contact, each pressure gauge needs a speci-
fic guiding force applied to the measurement unit. Thus an app-
lication depends on the pressure values given in the table
below.

Contact Devices
Pressure gauges with contact devices are only available with a nominal diameter of the ca-
sing of 1 0 0 mm or 160 mm.
We distinguish the following structural shapes:
1. electro-mechanical limit contacts
1 . 1 standard contact (S)
1.2 magnet contact (M)
2. inductive limit contact (I)
1. Electro-mechanical limit contacts
1.1 Standard contact (S)
Pressure gauges with standard contact are applied, where high contact load is not required
and where the instruments are not exposed to major vibrations. With the adjusted limit,
opening and closing of contacts is carried out without delay. The installation must be free
from vibrations to avoid unintentional switching.
Technical data standard contact:
nominal insulating voltage: 61 - 300 V
nominal operating voltage: 250 V max.
nominal operating current: starting current respectively breacking current maxi 0.7 A
(continuous current: 0.6 A)
braking capacity: 10 W 1 8 V A
ambient temperature: -20 up to +60°C, or depending on the corresponding devices
The contact device is non- inductive.
Standard contacts are not recommended with liquid filled pressure gauges.
1.2 Magnet spring contact (M)
With this kind of contact device there is, in addition to the contact pin, a magnet installed at
the arm which is connected with the pointer of the nominal value. With closure of the contact
pins, this magnet triggers rapidly the switching process. This switching behavior (switching
pressure - reverse backlash) may reach 2-5% of the scale end value, depending on the gui-
ding force of the measurement unit and the adjusted magnet force.
Pressure gauges with magnet spring contacts may be used under almost any service condi-
tions, because they are largely insensitive against vibrations. If a high control precision is
required, we recommend to install an additional contact protection relay.

Switching functions

1)
When ordering, please indicate the
corresponding code number, e.g. M
12.
2)
The line ends and connection
clamps are analogically marked.
Earth wires are always green-yellow.
3)
The switching function is reserved
when the pointer moves in an anti-
clockwise direction.
Technical data magnet spring contact:
nominal insulating voltage: 61 - 300 V
nominal operating voltage: 250 V max.
nominal operating current: starting current respectively breacking current maxi 1.0 A
(continuous current: 0.6 A)
braking capacity: 30 W 50 VA
ambient temperature: -20 up to +60°C, or depending on the corresponding devices
Contact process is non-inductive.
Solenoid spring contacts are used with liquid filled pressure gauges.
2. Inductive limit contacts (I)
Basically the contactlessly working contact device is only used together with a transistor
relay. Depending on the application, control units with fail-safe control circuit (ex-version) or
with not fail-safe control circuit can be used. Principally control units must be installed out-
side the ex-zone. The NAMUR inductive contact works feedback-free, it is wear resistant,
maintenance free, corrosion resistant and meets the highest class of requirements.
Technical data
Voltage: 8 V DC
Current: 8 mA
ambient temperature: -20 up to +60°C, or depending on the corresponding devices
We recommend for liquid filled manometers the use of inductive contact devices. They are
more suitable than standard or magnet spring devices.

Switching functions

1)
When ordering, please indicate the corresponding code number, e.g. l1 1 .
2)
The line ends and connection clamps are analogically marked. Earth wires are always green-yellow.
3)
The switching function is reserved when the pointer moves in an anticlockwise direction.

Siphons DIN 16 282
Application
Siphons are used to protect pressure gauges against pulsation
of the medium and overheating.
A siphon is installed at the thread connection of the pressure
gauge or at the upstream fitted stop valve.
A condensate is formed in the bend of the siphon, which pre-
vents the hot medium from reaching the pressure measuring
instrument. We recommend to fill in a cooling liquid.
