SF6 gas excellence

Gas density monitor

Model 233.52.063, with gas filling
WIKA data sheet SP 60.70

Applications

Gas density monitoring in closed SF6 gas tanks

Special features
■■ Temperature-compensated pressure gauge with Bourdon
tube
■■ Suitable for outdoor use
■■ Wetted parts from stainless steel
■■ Local readout with alarm contacts
■■ Hermetically leak-tight, therefore no negative impact by
atmospheric pressure fluctuations and differences in
altitude

Gas density monitor with gas filling model 233.52.063

Description

Gas density is a crucial operating parameter for high-voltage
switchgear. If the required gas density is not present, safe
operation of the plant cannot be guaranteed.
The WIKA gas density measuring instruments provide
reliable warnings against dangerously low gas
concentrations even in extreme environmental conditions.
If the gas density decreases due to a leakage the magnetic
snap-action contacts, which are actuated by the pointer,
switch reliably and with repeatable accuracy.
Conventional pressure gauges are not suitable here as the
gas pressure changes depending on the ambient tempera-
ture, altitude and even atmospheric pressure.
The above factors together can amount up to 20 % of the
working pressure and thus falsify the measurement signifi-
cantly.
For this reason, all WIKA gas density measuring instruments
are temperature compensated and hermetically sealed.
