With the new C33 HydraLine pressure gauge, GEMÜ is presenting an innovative solution for the demanding requirements of semiconductor production. As the successor of the GEMÜ C32 Hydra-Dry, the new pressure gauge offers an optimized combination of precision, reliability and flexibility.
With this pressure gauge, GEMÜ offers reliable monitoring of filters, precise back pressure control and the precise measurement of liquid levels. Furthermore, the GEMÜ C33 HydraLine enables high-precision pressure monitoring in numerous process applications.
The centerpiece of the GEMÜ C33 HydraLine is its new sealing concept. A ceramic sensor is used here, in which separation of media takes place without transmission fluid as a transfer medium; this is designated as a “dry system.” This avoids contamination of the process medium in the event of leakage.
The ceramic sensor is also characterized by its high resistance to chemicals and ensures precise measurement results even under extreme conditions.
A key feature of the new sealing concept is the complete envelopment of the sensor and electronic system by a PTFE sensor sheath. This design manages without media wetted O-rings and substantially reduces the number of separation points. Furthermore, the thickness of the diaphragm significantly delays diffusion.
The new GEMÜ C33 HydraLine pressure gauge has a compact design and can be integrated into existing systems and plants. The modular design enables space-saving use on valve blocks and facilitates future system expansions.
Two installation versions are available for maximum flexibility: the in-line version allows the sensor to be easily integrated into the piping, without the risk of air cushions that could lead to errors of measurement. With the dead-end version, the sensor can be replaced while the process is running—ideal for plants that are in continuous operation.
