Safety Pattern Gauges
£POA
When measuring air or other gases over 25 bar, standard gauges pose a significant risk. These specialised safety pattern gauges are engineered with advanced blast-protection features to ensure maximum operator safety in the event of a pressure system failure.
Key Safety Features
- Blast-Release Design: Built-in structural measures allow sudden, internal pressure to safely vent through the back or designated relief areas of the casing.
- Explosion-Proof Windows: By safely venting pressure away from the front, the window remains fully intact rather than shattering outward toward the operator.
- Heavy-Duty Materials: Fitted exclusively with safety glass or polycarbonate plastic windows instead of standard instrument glass for high-impact resistance.
Selecting the Right Safety Class
Safety pattern gauges are categorised into three distinct designations (S-1, S-2, and S-3). The right type for your application depends on three main factors:
- The type of gas being measured
- The pressure range required
- The case diameter of the gauge
