Diaphragm pressure switch For the process industry Model MW WIKA data sheet PV 31.10 for further approvals, see page 6 Process Performance Series ■ Pressure monitoring and control of processes ■ Safety-critical applications in general process instrumen- tation, especially in the chemical and petrochemical industries, oil and gas industries, power generation incl. nuclear power plants, water/wastewater industries, mining ■ For gaseous and liquid, aggressive and highly viscous or contaminated media, also in aggressive environments Special features ■ Case from 316L, IP66, NEMA 4X ■ Setting ranges from 16 mbar to 600 bar, also all other equivalent vacuum or combined pressure and vacuum ranges ■ Intrinsic safety Ex ia available ■ 1 or 2 independent switch points, high switching power up to AC 250 V, 20 A ■ Switch point repeatability < 1 % Fig. left: Model MW with threaded connection Fig. right: Model MW with flange connection Description These high-quality mechanical pressure switches have been developed especially for safety-critical applications. The great advantage of mechanical pressure switches is that no supply voltage is required for the switching process. Depending on the application, the appropriate variant for the contact version and the electrical connection can be selected; e.g. adjustable dead band instead of fixed dead band is often a feature necessary for control processes. In production, the switches are traced by quality assurance software at every step and subsequently are 100 % tested. The robust switch enclosure from stainless steel 316L can withstand the rough and corrosive operating conditions of the process industry with working ranges of up to 600 bar. The pressure switch is fitted with 1 or 2 microswitches, which make it possible to switch an electrical load of up to AC 250 V, 20 A directly. By using a diaphragm measuring system, the model MW pressure switch is extremely robust and guarantees optimal operating characteristics. Flanged process connections are excellently suited for measuring highly viscous, contaminated or crystallising media. For lower switching power ratings, such as for PLC applications, argon gas-filled microswitches with gold-plated contacts are available.
