WIKA · SF6 gas solutions · Family GAS_DENSITY_MONITORS

Sulfur hexafluoride (SF 6 ) is an extremely effective electrical insulator for medium- and high-voltage switchgear. For proper insulation, gas density must remain within certain levels. Furthermore, as SF 6 is a potent greenhouse gas, it must not escape into the atmosphere. An SF 6 gas density monitor warns operators of dropping levels that indicate contamination and/or leaks. WIKA’s SF 6 gas density monitors are temperature compensated and hermetically sealed to shield measurements from atmospheric pressure fluctuations and differences in mounting level. Manufactured entirely from stainless steel for reliability and long life, they are fitted with up to three alarm contacts to provide advance warnings when pre-defined limit levels are reached.
