Technical Data
The diaphragm seals are used to protect the measuring instrument
from high temperature, aggressive, crystalizing or corrosive media.
The design of the process flange allows direct mounting on standardized flange connections of pipes or tanks.
The D438 should be used especially for the measurement of low
pressure on process flanges with small diameters and high pressure ratings. These products can also be used in processes with fluid
temperatures > 200 °C. For applications with lower temperatures and
pressure ratings, it is recommended to check, if the series D425 and
D435 can be used.
Pressure ranges
0 ... 160 mbar to 0 ... 100 bar
Temperature
-60 °C ... +400 °C
Filling liquids
LRS1: -15 °C ... +150 °C
LRS9: -40 °C ... +400 °C high temperature oil
Other liquids on request
Mounting
Direct or remote from 1.5 to 12 meters
Flange types
Hot rolled or forged 1.4404 stainless steel according EN 10088-3, compliant with NACE MR 0103
or MR 0175.
ASME B16.5 / EN1759-1:
class 150 to 600, NPS 1/2" to 2" (DN15 to DN50)
Available flange faces see table on page 2.
Other flange types on request.
Diaphragm
Stainless steel 1.4435 (AISI 316L)
Active diameter 95 mm
Option: Hastelloy
Maximum pressure
According to the class of the flange and its standardized pressure temperature relation
For pressure ranges above 0...10 bar it is recommended to use the
series D418.
The filling fluid of the measuring system has to be choosen compatible
to the application.
