Description
Gas density is a crucial operating parameter for medium-voltage switchgear. If the required gas density is not present, safe operation of the plant cannot be guaranteed.
The WIKA gas density measuring instruments provide reliable warnings against dangerously low gas levels, even under extreme ambient conditions. Electrical switch contacts warn the plant operator when the gas density drops below defined levels due to leakage.
Gas density monitor, model 233.52.063
Special features
- Case and wetted parts from stainless steel
- On-site display with switch contact
- Temperature-compensated and hermetically sealed, therefore no influence of temperature fluctuations, height differences and atmospheric pressure fluctuation
- Compensation possible for gas mixtures
- Traceability by serial number
