Key Benefits and Advantages
-
Wide Pressure Range Selection: The J500 Series is available in numerous pressure ranges, covering everything from low-pressure vacuum readings to high-pressure industrial requirements. This versatility ensures that a specific J500 model exists for nearly every point in a process plant.
-
Robust Case Construction: These gauges typically feature stainless steel or reinforced cases designed to resist atmospheric corrosion and physical impacts. This makes them suitable for harsh outdoor environments and chemical processing facilities.
-
Multiple Mounting Configurations: To fit various piping layouts, the J500 Series offers both bottom-mount and back-mount connections. This allows for easy installation on manifolds, regulator spring cases, or panel boards.
-
High Visibility and Clarity: Each gauge features a high-contrast dial with clear graduations and a sharp pointer. The lens is made from impact-resistant material to maintain clarity even in high-vibration or abrasive environments.
-
Vibration Resistance: The internal movements of the J500 Series are designed to maintain accuracy in industrial settings where mechanical vibration or pressure pulsations are present, reducing the risk of premature failure or reading errors.
-
Ease of Integration: With standard NPT threaded connections, the J500 Series can be easily integrated into existing Fisher regulator sets or any standard pneumatic and hydraulic system.
Technical Properties
-
Dial Diameters: Available in various standard sizes, including 2-inch and 2.5-inch faces.
-
Accuracy Classes: Designed to meet or exceed industry standard accuracy percentages for commercial and industrial gauges.
-
Media Compatibility: Suitable for use with air, natural gas, propane, water, oil, and other non-corrosive fluids.
-
Connection Sizes: Typically 1/4-inch NPT or 1/8-inch NPT depending on the model and application.
-
Material Options: Stainless steel or brass internals to match the chemical compatibility of the process fluid.
Field of Application
The J500 Series is a versatile monitoring tool found across the entire spectrum of fluid management and control.
Primary Industries and Uses:
-
Gas Regulation Stations: Monitoring inlet and outlet pressures for district regulators and city gate stations.
