Worn Out Process Gauges May Release Hazardous Media

Are your process pressure gauges failing prematurely? Are you concerned about plant safety because of the potential release of hazardous process media from worn out pressure gauges?

Sometimes it is difficult to determine the root cause as to why a pressure gauge is not able to meet performance expectations. Plant engineers, technicians and safety officers in the refining, petroleum, petrochemical and chemical manufacturing industries deal with these problems every day. Their job is to make a processing plant safe and efficient; all while dealing with instrumentation issues that could be challenging to resolve. The XSEL™ process gauge from WIKA Instrument Corporation is designed with this in mind.

Product reliability and safety is a top priority at WIKA. The XSEL™ process gauge has been enhanced to deliver years of accurate service while withstanding extreme environments including system vibration, pulsation and shock.

 

Our state-of-the-art innovated pressure system design makes the WIKA XSEL™ process gauge the best choice for many applications in the processing plant environment. All XSEL™ process gauges include an advanced  Bourdon tube design with stress reducing features, a rugged Swiss made movement with hardened components, and standard features like overload/underload protection, socket restrictor, stop pin at the 6 o’clock position and a solid front/blow-out back safety case design.  All XSEL™ process gauges have been tested and meet or exceed pressure gauge standards ASME B40.100 and EN 837-1.

Studies have shown that the WIKA XSEL™ process gauge lasts 5 times longer than competing brands when tested in like applications and is capable of producing 10 million or more pressure cycles.

Because of these advancements, WIKA is offering an industry's best warranty on all XSEL™ process gauges with a standard 5 year warranty on the pressure gauge and a 10 year warranty on the pressure system. (See Terms & Conditions at right.)

Whether it is extreme environments or severe applications, the XSEL™ process gauge from WIKA Instrument Corporation is specifically engineered to help prevent pressure gauges from failing prematurely and keeping processing plants safe.
