Specialized Instrument for Low Vacuum Measurement
Many industrial processes operate under low-pressure or vacuum conditions where even small pressure changes can significantly impact system performance. Standard bourdon tube pressure gauges often lack the sensitivity required for such applications.
The “Ji” Japsin Instrumentation Capsule Vacuum Gauge is specifically developed to address these challenges. It utilizes a precision capsule element that expands and contracts in response to small vacuum variations, providing highly accurate measurements across the entire operating range.
This makes the instrument particularly suitable for monitoring air, gas, and non-corrosive media in low-pressure process systems where precise vacuum indication is essential.
Vacuum Range: -5000 mmWC to 0
The gauge is calibrated to measure vacuum from -5000 mm Water Column (mmWC) to 0, providing a wide measuring range for industrial vacuum applications.
Primary Scale
- -5000 mmWC to 0
Secondary Scale
- -500 mBar to 0
This dual-scale configuration enables users to interpret readings in either engineering unit depending on process requirements.
The wide measurement range makes the gauge suitable for both moderate and relatively high vacuum applications across numerous industries.
Dual Scale Dial for Enhanced Usability
The gauge incorporates a clearly marked dual-scale dial featuring:
- Millimeter Water Column (mmWC)
