Q & A
XSEL? Process Gauge Models 232.34 and 233.34 Q & A
+ What are the key differences between WIKA XSEL? Models 232.34 vs. 233.34?
The WIKA XSEL? Models 232.34 and 233.34 are both rugged stainless steel process pressure gauges designed for demanding industrial environments. The main difference is that Model 232.34 is a dry-case gauge, while Model 233.34 comes factory-prepared for liquid filling or is liquid-filled, making it better suited for high dynamic pulsations and vibration conditions. Both share excellent load-cycle stability, shock resistance, and a solid front thermoplastic case.
+ What pressure ranges and accuracy class do these XSEL? process gauges offer?
The WIKA XSEL? 232.34 and 233.34 gauges offer pressure ranges from vacuum/compound up to 30,000 psi (2,000 bar), depending on the configuration, covering a very broad span for industrial applications. Accuracy is typically ±0.5% of span (ASME B40.100 Grade 2A) with ±1.0% of span for ranges 20,000 psi (1,600 bar) and above, ensuring dependable measurements across most process requirements.
+ What industries and applications are these XSEL? gauges best suited for?
WIKA XSEL? Models 232.34 and 233.34 are engineered for harsh process environments with vibration, pulsation, or shock. They’re ideal for chemical and petrochemical plants, power stations, mining (onshore/offshore), environmental technology, mechanical engineering, and plant construction industries. Liquid-filled options are especially suited to systems with dynamic pressure changes.
+ What materials, mounting, and connection options are available with these gauges?
Both XSEL? gauges feature 316L stainless steel wetted parts and a fiberglass-reinforced thermoplastic (POCAN) solid front case that resists corrosion and chemicals. Sizes typically come in 4?” and 6” dial options with **1/4” or 1/2” NPT lower mount or lower back mount connections. Lower mount gauges are factory-prepared for liquid filling when needed.
+ Can these gauges withstand harsh environments like vibration, shock, or corrosion?
Yes. The WIKA XSEL? process gauges are built to tolerate high dynamic pressure pulsations, vibration, and load cycles. The solid front thermoplastic case and optional liquid filling significantly improve stability and resistance to shock. With weather-tight ratings up to IP65/NEMA 4X when properly configured, these gauges handle outdoor and corrosive environments effectively.
