Diaphragm Pressure Gauge Manufacturer in India: Chemical Seal & Hygienic Gauges
In demanding process environments, accurate pressure measurement protects equipment, safeguards personnel, and ensures product quality. Diaphragm pressure gauges isolate the sensing element from corrosive, viscous, or clogging media using a diaphragm seal, delivering safe and reliable readings where standard gauges fail.
Looking for a trusted Diaphragm Pressure Gauge Manufacturer in India? SMIPL India designs and manufactures chemical seal gauges, sanitary/hygienic tri‑clamp gauges, and remote capillary seal gauges tailored to your process conditions and compliance standards.
What Are Diaphragm Pressure Gauges?
Diaphragm pressure gauges are mechanical gauges equipped with a diaphragm seal that isolates the sensing mechanism from the process fluid. The diaphragm transmits pressure via a fill fluid to a Bourdon tube or sensing element, enabling accurate measurement of corrosive, viscous, slurry, or sanitary media without clogging or damage.
As a leading Diaphragm Pressure Gauge Manufacturer, SMIPL India provides robust, precise, and application-specific solutions for chemical plants, food processing, pharmaceuticals, and utilities.
How Diaphragm Seal Gauges Work
- Isolation: A flexible diaphragm (SS316L, Hastelloy, Monel, or PTFE/PFA‑lined) isolates the process fluid from the instrument.
- Transmission: Pressure is transmitted through a fill fluid (silicone oil, glycerine, fluorinated fluids) to the gauge’s Bourdon tube.
- Indication: The Bourdon tube deflection drives the pointer to display pressure on the dial.
- Protection: The seal prevents crystallization, clogging, and corrosion of the measuring element, ensuring accuracy and long service life.
Types of Diaphragm Pressure Gauges
- Chemical Seal Gauges: Direct‑mount seals for aggressive acids, alkalis, and slurries; available with threaded or flanged process connections.
- Remote Seal Gauges (Capillary): Seal connected via capillary to isolate high temperature or vibration; ideal for reactors and steam lines.
- Inline Diaphragm Seal Gauges: For pipeline mounting in viscous or particulate media to prevent clogging.
- Sanitary/Hygienic Gauges: Tri‑clamp seals for food, beverage, and pharma CIP/SIP processes; smooth, crevice‑free design.
- High‑Temperature Seals: With cooling elements/siphons for steam service and hot media.
- Flush Diaphragm Seals: Front‑flush designs with flush rings for quick cleaning in sticky media.
Industrial Applications
- Chemicals & Petrochemicals: Acids, caustics, polymers, and aggressive solvents.
- Pharmaceuticals & Biotech: Sterile processes, CIP/SIP lines, fermenters, and buffer tanks.
- Food & Beverage: Dairy, beverages, edible oils, sauces, and hygienic processing.
- Water & Wastewater: Sludge, dosing skids, and chlorination systems.
- Oil & Gas: Separators, pipelines, and high‑temperature services.
- Pulp & Paper / Mining: Viscous, fibrous, and abrasive slurries.
- Power & Utilities: Steam lines, boilers, condensate systems with siphons and capillaries.
