Diaphragm seals are used to protect the pressure measuring instrument from aggressive, adhesive, crystallising, corrosive, highly viscous, environmentally hazardous or toxic media. A diaphragm made of the appropriate material provides for the separation from the medium to be measured. Thus even the most difficult measuring requirements can be met by combining measuring instruments with diaphragm seals. A fluid inside the system, which can be chosen to suit the particular application, hydraulically transmits the pressure to the measuring instrument. The diaphragm is welded to the upper body, to ensure separation of filling fluid from process medium. Designed in accordance with food and pharmaceutical standards to permit easy removal from the plant whilst maintains the hygienic feature during frequent cleaning.
