Industrial Solid Front Pressure Gauges with Blow-Out Back
Brand: Palmer Wahl Instruments, IncDesigned to provide the maximum safety for personnel monitoring the gauges in the event of gauge failure, and to resist the most severe operating conditions created by the ambient environment and process medium.
These gauges are constructed with a solid barrier between the sensing element and the dial front, welded to the socket to give them exceptional strength.
In addition to protecting the user from fluid and particles in the event of failure, the backs of these cases are designed to blow out to release pressure inside the case.
Filled gauges reduce pointer fluctuation, reduce wear of rotating parts of the movement when vibrations and pulsations occur, and prevent condensation and corrosion which could damage the internal parts.
Features- Blow-Out Back Designed To Release Pressure Inside The Case.
