Mechanical Vacuum Gauges and Switches

Comprehensive Solutions for Pressure Control

Mechanical gauges, switches, and other specialized instruments provide versatile solutions for pressure measurement and control.

From traditional dial gauges to advanced switching mechanisms, these tools deliver reliable performance and precise readings.

Understanding the various types of mechanical gauges and switches, their operating principles, and their suitability for different conditions is essential for making the right choice.

CG16K Capsule Dial Gauges

The CG16K Capsule Dial Gauges are designed for precise and reliable pressure measurement, covering a range from 0 to 1040 mbar.

These barometrically compensated gauges ensure accurate readings unaffected by atmospheric pressure changes.

The robust construction, featuring a rugged aluminum casing with a removable bezel for cleaning, makes these gauges suitable for both non-corrosive process plant and laboratory applications.

With full-scale options of 25, 50, 125, and 1040 mbar (20, 40, 100 & 760 Torr), the CG16K gauges cater to a variety of pressure measurement needs.

They provide an accuracy of ±2% of full scale, ensuring repeatable performance even at low pressures. Torr options are also available, and the gas-independent design allows for versatile use across different gases.
The clear, easy-to-read display eliminates the need for a controller, and calibrated options are available for enhanced precision.
Installation is straightforward, with the option for direct or panel mounting using the supplied kit.

These features make the CG16K an excellent choice for tasks such as backfilling, portable equipment, degassing, refrigeration, handling flammable vapors, upgrading from Bourdon gauges, and packaging processes.

With their robust design and reliable performance, the CG16K Capsule Dial Gauges are an invaluable addition to any pressure measurement toolkit, delivering consistent results across diverse environments and applications.

P3 Portable Gauging

The P3 Portable Gauge is a complete gauge display that operates off its integrated battery, making it the perfect solution for service personnel to check vacuum performance at specific points in a system, ensuring operational efficiency.

This convenient handheld device eliminates the need to carry around a gauge/controller setup and search for a power supply, allowing for easy spot measurement checks.

The P3 all-in-one measuring system is essential for on-site service calls and on-the-spot flexible checking, thanks to its independence from mains power.

The gauge features a combined sensor that provides accurate measurement from 1200 to 5 x 10^-4 mbar. It also includes onboard memory for data logging and operates on a standard 9V battery, with an optional mains power supply available.

Also available is the accessory pack, which not only gives you a case in which to transport the gauge, avoiding damage in transit, but also some dedicated PC software and mains cable to enable longer term measurement tracking and logging, past the standard onboard datalogging. This can enable pressure rise leak testing on large/underground systems where standard leak checking is not viable.

VS/IS16K Interlock Vacuum Switches

The VS16K and IS16K Vacuum Switches offer precise and safe vacuum pressure control.

These switches are designed to be high vacuum compatible and corrosion-resistant, with all wetted parts made from stainless steel.

They feature user-adjustable set points and robust design, ensuring reliable performance across a wide range of applications.

Both switches can handle direct switching of loads without additional relays or external power supplies, making them ideal for use in furnaces, laboratories, tank units, packaging, and general-purpose pumping units. The set points are independent of gas composition, which is particularly useful for backfilling applications.

Installation is straightforward, with options for direct or panel mounting.

With their durable construction and high compatibility, the VS16K and IS16K vacuum switches are essential components for ensuring safety and efficiency in various vacuum systems.
