WF Diaphragm Seal Gauge

WF Diaphragm Seal Budenberg Australia @ Procon Instrument Technology

Diaphragm Seal Gauge with Welded Construction & Flanged Connection

The Budenberg WF is a high-integrity Diaphragm Seal Gauge that has been designed to withstand the high pressures and temperatures normally associated with Chemical and Oil / Gas applications. The WF has a diaphragm welded to the Flange.

Its unique feature is the ability to set the diaphragm to ‘lock off’ at set pressures thereby protecting the unit from major overload conditions up to and including 400 Bar. This eliminates the need for expensive overload protection valves.

The WF is available in a wide range of options including a choice of dial sizes, connections, materials, filling fluids, and options to permit operation at temperatures in excess of 440°c.

It has been designed for continuous operation on gases or liquids where the pressure element could become corroded or clogged by the process media. Versions are available to withstand pressure pulsations, vibrations, and operation at very high temperatures.

The Budenberg WF specifications

 Size  63mm (2.5"), 100mm (4"), 150mm (6")
 Accuracy Class
 1.0% as defined in EN837
 Pressure Range
 The welded seal units is available in a range of configurations depending on the required Dial Size and Operating Pressure range as follows:
 Dial Size - 63mm / 100mm / 150mm
 Seal Diameter - 69mm
 Min Range - 1 Bar
 Max Range - 400 Bar
 Over Range Protection
 All units will withstand 130% overload as standard up to 200 Bar. Optionally the diaphragm can be set to 'lock off' allowing the unit to withstand an overload up to the maximum pressure rating of the seal unit. This unique feature can be used to avoid the use and cost of additional overload protection valves.
 Materials of Construction  Due to the welded construction, all materials including the diaphragm and connection have to be the same material.
 Standard - 316L Stainless Steel
 Other materials are available on request.
 Process Connections
 All standard FR Flanges from 150 to 1500# in sizes 1/2" to 3"
 All stndard PN10 flanges from DN15 to DN50
 Other connections are available
 Filling Fluids
 A wide range of filling fluids are available to suit most applications including high-temperature and pharmaceutical applications.
 Standard Options - Mineral Oil, Silicon HT Oil, Medicinal Paraffin, Glycerine, Syltherm XLT & 400.
 Inert Fluorine-based fluids can be specified for oxygen and chlorine applications as well as a range of FDA-approved fluids for food and pharmaceutical applications. 
 Temperature
 Normal process operating temperature range:  -20 to +100°c
 Elevated temperature operation up to 450°c can be achieved by the selection of an extended neck option and an associated high-temperature filling fluid. 
 Pulsation Dampener  The clamped design allows Budenberg to offer a snubber internally to dampen pulsations and beneficially protect the Pressure Gauge.
 Certification & Traceability
 Serial Number Printed on Dial.
 A certificate of Conformity traceable to National Standards is supplied
 Safety  All units are manufactured to comply with EN837-1, S3 Specification, and other regulatory standards including PED.

Anti-Tamper
Designed to prevent disassembly
Extended Neck
For use in elevated temperatures up to 300°C we can dissipate the effect of heat from the Pressure Gauge by inserting an extended neck between the WF and the pressure gauge.
Remote Mounting
St/steel capillary can be fitted between gauge and seal to protect the instrument from heat or vibration
Fitting Transmitters
We have a range of standard and 'Smart' Transmitters that can be used in combination with the WF or Budenberg and can fit customers' own free-issue transmitters to most diaphragm seal units
Accessories
Valve & Adaptors - a full range of Needle and Ball Valves to fit the WF - See separate Datasheets.
