Are there clear standards for the installation direction of pressure gauges?
Thread Content
Can a diaphragm pressure gauge be installed horizontally? Could someone knowledgeable help me with this? It would be great to have a standard reference for it. Thank you! !
SH3104 has relevant regulations, which are divided into two cases: one is installing it above the sampling port, and the other is installing it below the sampling port； There are no specific requirements for horizontal installation
Actually, the installation diagrams for the older versions are better; it’s the new installation manuals issued by the Ministry of Chemicals that overlook the issue raised by the original poster. If you consider things from the operator’s perspective, think about it – is horizontal installation feasible? ? Do you like to look at things by tilting your head?
One should also consider the convenience of reading the pressure gauge using their own manufacturing techniques.
It was identified during a safety inspection conducted in another location, but I couldn’t find any explicit regulations regarding this. In GB21581-2012, I only found diagrams; there was no mention of the installation direction
It's okay to use a pressure measurement point, but no matter where the pressure is taken, your gauge should be adjusted so that it reads correctly. . . Aren’t you worried that the manufacturing process will cause you trouble?
The process was not identified, but safety aspects were examined; for the problems that were found, they still lack standards and criteria. I also checked some information and didn’t find any clear statement saying that pressure gauges cannot be placed horizontally. .
The specifications certainly can’t be that detailed; for such issues, the only relevant specification is the GB-50093 acceptance standard. It states that there should be sufficient lighting, and it must be easy to operate and maintain; it should also be installed in a location where it can be easily observed. But you have to turn your head to see it – do you think that’s easy to observe? ;P
