Pressure connection Component – Machinery and Equipment Manufacturing

Q: What are the most common failure modes for pressure connections in Bourdon tube sensors?

Common failures include thread stripping from overtightening, seal degradation from chemical incompatibility, corrosion from harsh environments, and blockage from particulate contamination in the fluid stream.

Q: How do I select the right pressure connection material for my application?

Material selection depends on the process fluid's chemical properties, temperature, pressure, and environmental conditions. Stainless steel offers general corrosion resistance, while specialized alloys like Hastelloy handle aggressive chemicals. Always verify compatibility charts and consider industry standards.

Component Specifications

Definition

A mechanical fitting or assembly designed to connect a Bourdon tube pressure sensor to a process system, ensuring a sealed, stable interface that transmits fluid pressure from the system to the sensor's sensing element without leakage or distortion.

Working Principle

The pressure connection creates a sealed pathway between the process fluid and the Bourdon tube. System pressure is transmitted through this connection to the curved Bourdon tube, causing it to straighten proportionally to the pressure. This mechanical movement is then translated into a readable measurement through linkage mechanisms.

Materials

Stainless steel (AISI 316L, 304), brass (C36000), Monel, Hastelloy, or carbon steel with appropriate coatings. Seals typically use PTFE, Viton, EPDM, or Buna-N depending on media compatibility.

Leak Rate <1×10⁻⁹ mbar·L/s (helium leak tested)
Port Size 1/4", 1/2", 3/8" (common)
Pressure Range 0-1000 psi (standard), up to 10,000 psi (high-pressure variants)
