Будь ласка, уважно прочитайте цей посібник перед використанням виробу, щоб забезпечити безпечну та ефективну роботу.

2. Інформація про безпеку

• Межі тиску: Do not exceed the maximum rated pressure of 400 psi. Over-pressurization can cause gauge failure and potential injury.
• Установка: Ensure the gauge is installed by qualified personnel using appropriate tools and sealing methods.
• Сумісність системи: Verify that the gauge's wetted parts (Brass/Bronze) are compatible with the process media to prevent corrosion or damage.
• Температурні обмеження: Operate the gauge within the specified temperature range of -20°F to 150°F. Extreme temperatures can affect accuracy and lifespan.
• Обробка: Avoid dropping or subjecting the gauge to severe impact, as this can damage internal components.

3. Продукт закінчивсяview і компоненти

4. Встановлення та налаштування

1. Inspect Gauge: Before installation, visually inspect the gauge for any signs of damage. Do not install a damaged gauge.
2. Підготовка підключення: Переконайтеся, що точка підключення системи чиста та не має сміття.
3. Нанесіть герметик: Apply an appropriate thread sealant (e.g., PTFE tape or pipe dope) to the 1/4 inch MNPT threads of the gauge connection. Ensure sealant does not enter the gauge or system.
4. Thread Gauge: Carefully thread the gauge into the system connection by hand until finger-tight.
5. Затягнути: Using a wrench on the wrench flats of the gauge connection (not the case), tighten the gauge until secure. Avoid over-tightening, which can damage the threads or the gauge.
6. Перевірте орієнтацію: Ensure the gauge dial is oriented for easy reading.
7. Підвищення тиску в системі: Slowly pressurize the system and check for leaks at the connection point.

5. Операція

The ASHCROFT 1009AWL Pressure Gauge is designed for straightforward operation. Once properly installed, the gauge will continuously display the system pressure.

• Зчитування показників манометра: Observe the pointer's position on the dial. The primary scale is in psi (pounds per square inch), ranging from 0 to 400. The smallest graduation is 10 psi.
• Умови експлуатації: Ensure the operating environment and process media remain within the gauge's specified temperature range of -20°F to 150°F.
• Точність: The gauge provides readings with an accuracy of +/-1.50% of full scale.
• Пульсація: The glycerin filling helps to dampen pointer fluctuation in systems with pulsation or vibration, providing a more stable reading.

6. Технічне обслуговування

Regular maintenance ensures the longevity and accuracy of your pressure gauge.

• Звичайна перевірка: Periodically inspect the gauge for any physical damage, such as a cracked lens, bent pointer, or corroded case.
• Чистота: Keep the gauge lens clean to ensure clear visibility of the dial. Use a soft, damp тканину для очищення; уникайте абразивних мийних засобів.
• Повторне калібрування: While ASHCROFT gauges are built for accuracy, prolonged use or exposure to harsh conditions may necessitate recalibration. Consult a qualified technician for recalibration services if accuracy is critical and suspected to be compromised.
• Liquid Fill: The glycerin fill is sealed. If the liquid level appears significantly low or cloudy, the gauge may require replacement or professional servicing.

7. Вирішення проблем

Below are common issues and potential solutions for the ASHCROFT 1009AWL Pressure Gauge:

• No Reading / Pointer Stuck:
  • Verify that the system is pressurized.
  • Check for blockages in the connection line to the gauge.
  • Inspect for physical damage to the gauge.
• Неточне читання:
  • Ensure the gauge is operating within its specified temperature range.
  • Confirm the gauge's range is appropriate for the system pressure.
  • Consider professional recalibration if accuracy is critical and other factors are ruled out.
• Leak at Connection:
  • Розгерметизуйте систему.
  • Re-apply thread sealant and re-tighten the connection.
  • Inspect threads for damage.
• Liquid Fill Discoloration/Loss:
  • This may indicate a seal compromise or internal issue. The gauge may need replacement.
