Baumer AH Solid Front Safety Pressure Gauge - DN 4.5 inch

A. Product Overview

The Baumer AH Solid Front Safety Pressure Gauge DN 4.5 inch is designed for accurate and safe pressure measurement in demanding industrial environments. It comes with a polypropylene solid front case, which improves operator safety by directing pressure release away from the front side of the gauge in case of internal failure.

This pressure gauge is available with a pressure range from -1 to 0 bar and 0 to 1600 bar, making it suitable for vacuum, compound and high-pressure applications. With accuracy class 0.5, it provides precise readings for critical pressure monitoring.

The sensing element and process connection are made from AISI 316L stainless steel, offering excellent corrosion resistance and compatibility with various industrial media. Optional Monel wetted parts are available for more aggressive or corrosive process conditions.

Available process connections include 1/4 inch NPT male, 1/2 inch BSP male and 1/2 inch NPT male. The gauge supports mounting types 1, 3 and 5, allowing flexible installation as per plant or equipment requirements. It has IP65 protection, with optional IP66 and IP67 protection for harsher environments. The gauge follows ASME B40.100 reference standard.

B. Working Principle

The Baumer AH Solid Front Safety Pressure Gauge works on the mechanical pressure measuring principle. When process pressure enters through the process connection, it acts on the sensing element inside the gauge.

The AISI 316L stainless steel sensing element slightly deforms according to the applied pressure. This movement is transferred through the internal mechanical movement system, which rotates the pointer on the dial. The pointer then displays the pressure value clearly on the DN 4.5 inch dial.

The solid front safety design provides additional protection to the operator. In case of sudden overpressure or internal failure, the solid front construction helps reduce the risk of injury by shielding the front side of the gauge.

C. Why It Is Used

The Baumer AH Solid Front Safety Pressure Gauge is used where pressure measurement needs to be accurate, safe and reliable. Its solid front construction makes it suitable for applications where safety is important, especially in high-pressure systems.

It is used to monitor pressure in pipelines, vessels, hydraulic systems, compressors, pumps, process equipment and industrial machinery. The high accuracy class 0.5 makes it useful where precise pressure readings are required for process control, safety checks and equipment protection.

The AISI 316L stainless steel wetted parts make it suitable for media where corrosion resistance is required. Optional Monel parts make it useful for more aggressive chemical applications.
