BOURDON
Frequently asked questions
Common questions about BOURDON from 3G Electric.
What is the accuracy of Bourdon pressure gauges supplied by 3G Electric?
Bourdon pressure gauges are available in several accuracy classes. The models listed in our catalog, such as the MPG6-A60 series, offer ±0.5% of full scale. Other Bourdon gauges may have ±1.0% or ±1.6% accuracy. The accuracy is typically specified as a percentage of the full pressure range and is tested under standard conditions. For critical applications, higher accuracy classes are recommended. 3G Electric provides detailed specifications for each gauge, including accuracy, dial size, and pressure range, to help you select the appropriate model.
Are Bourdon pressure gauges suitable for corrosive media?
Many Bourdon pressure gauges are designed with all-stainless steel wetted parts, which provide resistance to corrosion from various media. The wetted parts include the Bourdon tube, socket, and movement. Stainless steel construction makes these gauges suitable for applications involving water, steam, oils, and mild chemicals. For highly corrosive fluids, additional isolation or special materials like Monel or Hastelloy may be required. 3G Electric can supply Bourdon gauges with alternative wetted materials upon request. Always verify chemical compatibility before installation.
What is the pressure range of the Bourdon MPG6-A60.H19 gauge?
The Bourdon MPG6-A60.H19 pressure gauge has a pressure range of 0 to 60 psi. It features a 4 1/2 inch white dial with a black pointer, a 1/2 inch NPT male bottom connection, and all-stainless steel wetted parts with a plastic case. The accuracy is ±0.5% of full scale. This gauge is suitable for panel mounting and is commonly used in applications requiring precise low-pressure measurement. 3G Electric stocks this model and can provide a quote based on your required quantity.
Can Bourdon pressure gauges be liquid-filled for vibration applications?
Yes, many Bourdon pressure gauges can be supplied with liquid filling, typically glycerin or silicone, to dampen the effects of vibration and pulsation. Liquid filling helps protect the movement and provides a more stable reading in dynamic conditions. The gauges in our catalog may be available with this option; please specify when requesting a quote. Liquid-filled gauges are often used on pumps, compressors, and other equipment where vibration is present. 3G Electric can advise on the appropriate fill fluid based on your operating temperature and compatibility requirements.
What connection sizes are available for Bourdon pressure gauges?
Bourdon pressure gauges are available with a variety of connection sizes, including 1/4 inch NPT, 1/2 inch NPT, and metric threads such as G1/4 or M20. The models in our current listing feature 1/2 inch NPT male bottom connections. Other connection types, such as back connections or panel mount, may also be available. When ordering, specify the connection size, type (male/female), and location (bottom, back, or lower back). 3G Electric can source gauges with the required connection to match your existing piping.
