Q & A
Bourdon Tube Pressure Gauges Models 232.54 and 233.54 Q & A
+ What makes the WIKA 232.54 & 233.54 Bourdon Tube Pressure Gauges ideal for harsh industrial environments?
The WIKA Models 232.54 and 233.54 are built specifically for adverse service conditions where vibration and pulsation are present. These gauges feature all stainless steel construction and optional liquid filling for vibration and shock resistance, making them durable for demanding applications such as chemical plants, power stations, mining (on and offshore), and mechanical engineering. They are suitable for gaseous or liquid media that will not obstruct the pressure system with ranges up to 15,000 psi.
+ What pressure ranges and accuracy classes are available with these gauges?
WIKA Bourdon tube pressure gauges cover a wide spectrum, with pressure ranges from vacuum/compound up to 200 psi and pressure ratings from 15 psi up to 15,000 psi (1,000 bar), accommodating most industrial requirements. They are offered in two accuracy classes: ±2? % of span for 2?” gauges (ASME B40.100 Grade A) and ±1 % of span for 4” gauges (ASME B40.100 Grade 1A).
+ What sizes, standards, and construction features should buyers know?
These WIKA gauges are available in 2?” (63 mm) and 4” (100 mm) dial sizes, designed per ASME B40.100 and EN 837-1 standards for mechanical pressure gauges. The construction includes 316L stainless steel wetted parts, 304 stainless steel case and bezel, and a laminated safety glass window, ensuring corrosion resistance and reliability. Optional extras include FlexWindow? with pressure compensation, various fill fluids (glycerine or silicone), and custom scale options.
+ What are the typical industrial applications for these gauges?
Customers frequently ask where these gauges are best applied. WIKA Models 232.54 and 233.54 are suited for industries with pulsating or vibrating processes, including chemical and petrochemical plants, environmental technology, mechanical engineering, and petroleum power stations. They work well for pressure monitoring of pipelines, vessels, compressors, and heavy machinery across process industries where reliability under harsh conditions is critical.
+ How do operating temperature and installation environment affect gauge choice?
Buyers need clarity on environmental suitability. These pressure gauges operate reliably in wide temperature ranges: –40°F to +140°F (–40°C to +60°C) in dry or silicone-filled variants and –4°F to +140°F (–20°C to +60°C) with glycerine filling. They are rated IP65 weather resistance for protection against dust and splashes, and the medium temperature limit is +212°F (+100°C). Understanding these limits ensures proper selection and longevity in industrial and outdoor settings.
