A. Product Overview
Baumer EC gauge cock is designed for safe isolation of pressure gauges from the process line. It is available in 2 way and 3 way type, making it suitable for different pressure measurement and gauge maintenance requirements.
The gauge cock is suitable for industrial applications where the pressure gauge needs to be connected, isolated, vented or serviced without directly disturbing the process line. It is available with process connection options of 1/4 inch, 3/8 inch and 1/2 inch BSP or NPT.
The wetted parts are available in AISI 316 SS and AISI 304 SS, offering good corrosion resistance and durability for industrial environments. The Baumer EC gauge cock is suitable for pressure ratings up to 100 bar and working temperatures up to 180 degree C.
B. Working Principle
The Baumer EC gauge cock works as a manual isolation valve between the process line and the pressure gauge. When the valve is opened, process pressure reaches the pressure gauge and allows pressure reading. When the valve is closed, the pressure gauge is isolated from the process media.
In a 2 way gauge cock, the valve mainly allows opening and closing of the pressure path between the process and the gauge.
In a 3 way gauge cock, the valve can help in isolation and venting, which is useful during gauge removal, calibration, replacement or maintenance. This helps reduce the risk of sudden pressure release and protects the pressure gauge from continuous process exposure when not required.
C. Why It Is Used
Baumer EC gauge cock is used to protect pressure gauges and improve safety during pressure measurement. It allows the operator to isolate the gauge when maintenance, calibration or replacement is required.
It is commonly used because it helps:
Reduce direct exposure of the pressure gauge to process media
Improve safety during gauge servicing
Allow pressure gauge isolation without stopping the full process
Support pressure gauge calibration and maintenance
Protect the gauge from pressure shocks and continuous media contact
Provide reliable pressure measurement accessory support in industrial systems
This makes it an important accessory for pressure gauge installations in hydraulic machines, compressors, pipelines, process plants and general industrial pressure measurement applications.
