BOURDON
Frequently asked questions
Common questions about BOURDON from 3G Electric.
What is the accuracy specification of BOURDON 437U series pressure gauges?
The BOURDON 437U series pressure gauges have an accuracy of ±0.5% of full scale. This means for a gauge with a 300 psi range, the reading is accurate within ±1.5 psi. This accuracy class is suitable for general industrial monitoring where precise measurement is required but not for calibration-grade applications.
What materials are used for the wetted parts and casing in BOURDON all-stainless steel gauges?
In the BOURDON 437U series, the wetted parts (the Bourdon tube and connection) are made from all-stainless steel, providing corrosion resistance for use with many process fluids. The casing is made from plastic, which offers lightweight protection and resistance to environmental corrosion, though it is not suitable for high-temperature or highly corrosive external environments.
What pressure ranges are available for the BOURDON 437U panel-mount gauge?
The BOURDON 437U series is available in multiple pressure ranges, including 0 to 60 psi, 0 to 100 psi, 0 to 160 psi, 0 to 300 psi, and 0 to 600 psi. These ranges cover low to moderate pressure applications common in industrial processes. Other ranges may be available from the manufacturer but are not listed in the current inventory.
What is the connection size and type for BOURDON 437U gauges?
The BOURDON 437U series gauges have a 1/2 inch NPT male bottom connection. This is a standard industrial thread for pressure gauges, allowing direct mounting to process piping or manifolds. The bottom connection orientation is typical for panel-mount installations where the gauge is mounted flush with the panel face.
Can BOURDON pressure gauges be used for gas or liquid service?
Yes, BOURDON all-stainless steel pressure gauges are suitable for both gas and liquid service, provided the media is compatible with stainless steel wetted parts. They are commonly used for measuring pressure of air, water, oils, and many chemical fluids. However, they are not recommended for use with highly corrosive media that attack stainless steel, such as strong acids or chlorides, without additional protection.
