Why Siphons Are Essential for Pressure Gauges in Steam Applications
Many pressure gauge failures in steam lines happen because the gauge is directly exposed to high-temperature steam without proper protection.
A siphon creates a condensate barrier between the process line and the pressure gauge, protecting the instrument from excessive heat and pressure pulsation.
Without a siphon, steam can: ❌ Damage the gauge mechanism ❌ Reduce accuracy ❌ Shorten instrument life ❌ Increase maintenance costs
🔹 Types of Siphons: ✔️ Pigtail Siphon – Common for steam service ✔️ Coil Siphon – For higher pressure applications ✔️ U-Type Siphon – Used in specific mounting setups
🔹 Common Applications: ✔️ Boilers & Steam Lines ✔️ Power Plants ✔️ Chemical Processing ✔️ HVAC Systems ✔️ Oil & Gas Facilities
A small accessory that plays a major role in protecting pressure instruments and reducing downtime.
