Baumer CA Gas Filled Temperature Gauge

A. Product Overview

Baumer CA gas filled temperature gauge is a mechanical temperature measuring instrument used for industrial and process temperature indication. It is designed for applications where reliable temperature measurement is required in pipelines, tanks, reactors, boilers, heat exchangers and process equipment.

The gauge is available in nominal size options of 100, 125, 150, 200 and 250 mm. It covers a wide temperature range from -80 to 600 degree C and offers accuracy class 1.0 as per EN 13190. The standard case material is AISI 304 SS, with optional AISI 316 SS for demanding industrial environments.

The sensing element is made from AISI 316 SS, which provides strength and corrosion resistance. Stem length starts from 110 mm, and process connection options include 3/8 inch and 1/2 inch BSP or NPT. Mounting options include 1, 2, 3, 5, 8 and 9, making the gauge suitable for different installation requirements.

Baumer CA is supplied with IP65 protection as standard, with optional IP66 and IP67 for higher dust and water resistance. Capillary length from 1 to 15 meters is available for remote temperature measurement applications.

B. Working Principle

Baumer CA gas filled temperature gauge works on the gas expansion principle. The sensing bulb, stem and capillary system are filled with gas. When the process temperature changes, the gas inside the closed system expands or contracts.

This change in gas pressure is transmitted to the internal measuring mechanism of the gauge. The movement converts the pressure change into pointer movement on the dial, allowing the user to read the temperature directly.

In direct mounted models, the stem is installed into the process connection. In capillary type models, the sensing bulb is installed at the process point and the dial can be mounted at a remote location. This is useful when the measuring point is difficult to access, exposed to high temperature, or not suitable for direct viewing.

C. Why It Is Used

Baumer CA gas filled temperature gauge is used for accurate temperature monitoring in industrial process systems. It provides direct temperature indication without requiring electrical power, external display or transmitter wiring.

It is preferred because it offers a wide temperature range from -80 to 600 degree C, Class 1.0 accuracy, stainless steel construction and flexible installation options. The AISI 316 SS sensing element makes it suitable for many liquid, gas and process media applications.

The capillary option is useful for remote indication where the display needs to be placed away from the process connection. Optional IP66 and IP67 protection makes it suitable for outdoor, dusty and wet environments.

Baumer CA is commonly used in chemical plants, pharmaceutical plants, food processing units, refineries, oil and gas plants, power plants, boilers, reactors, process skids, pipelines and utility systems.

D. Suitable Buyers

Baumer CA gas filled temperature gauge is suitable for customers who require a reliable mechanical temperature gauge for industrial temperature measurement.

Suitable buyers include instrumentation engineers, maintenance engineers, purchase departments, project engineers, plant engineers, OEMs, EPC contractors, system integrators, boiler manufacturers, process skid manufacturers, chemical plants, pharmaceutical companies, food and beverage plants, refineries, oil and gas companies and power plants.

It is also suitable for buyers searching for Baumer temperature gauge, gas filled temperature gauge, stainless steel temperature gauge, capillary temperature gauge, industrial thermometer and process temperature gauge.
