Good morning all, I have recently join control automation.
I have quick question regarding Wika pressure gauge and diaphragm seal if any of you throw some light on from your experience. that will highly appreciated.
A project where we did procured wika 232.34 PG along with L990.26 Diaphragm Seal, Silicone fluid. Ambient condition is -40F to +40F. L990.26 is 3/4" 300# Process connection, 1/2" Instrument connection. but once we got Diaphragm Seal Calculation Program confirmation which says this assembly will fail under -40F ambient conditions. I do not understand, why it would fail under an ambient condition, I could not get detail information from Wika catalog about it. It could be due to small volume displacement with smaller size diaphragm diameter could cause a issue during cold ambient condition but I could not confirm it from any manual or so. Can you please share your knowledge and experience about this condition? thank you.
