The WIKA PGT23.063 is a 63 mm Bourdon tube pressure gauge with an integrated electrical output. It combines local pressure indication and remote signal transmission in one compact instrument.
Key Features
- Dual indication: Mechanical dial plus 4–20 mA signal output.
- No-contact sensing: Electronic angle measurement detects pointer position without mechanical contact.
- Safety construction: Solid front baffle wall, non-splintering window and blow-out back.
- Wide measuring range: Available ranges up to 0–1,000 bar or 0–15,000 psi, depending on configuration.
- Plug-and-play operation: No additional signal-range configuration is normally required.
Suitable Applications
- Process plants: Local pressure readings and control-room monitoring.
- Chemical and petrochemical systems: Pressure monitoring in industrial process equipment, subject to media compatibility.
- Machinery and equipment: Compact pressure indication with a signal for automated monitoring.
- Safety-related installations: Applications requiring the gauge's specified safety construction.
Technical Highlights & Selection Considerations
Before ordering, confirm the following:
- Pressure range: Select a range appropriate for normal operating pressure and pressure peaks.
- Process connection: Verify thread type, size and mounting arrangement.
- Wetted materials: Check compatibility with the process medium.
- Electrical interface: Confirm the 4–20 mA output, supply voltage and PLC/control-system requirements.
- Environmental protection: Check the required ingress protection and operating conditions for the selected version.
FAQ
Q1: Does the PGT23.063 need power to display pressure?
No. The mechanical dial works without electrical power, although the 4–20 mA output requires a suitable power supply.
Q2: Can it connect directly to a PLC?
Its 4–20 mA output is suitable for compatible analog inputs. Confirm the power supply and wiring requirements first.
Q3: Is it a pressure gauge or a pressure transmitter?
It combines both functions: a mechanical pressure gauge for local reading and an electronic output for remote monitoring.
Q4: What pressure ranges are available?
WIKA lists ranges up to 0–1,000 bar or 0–15,000 psi, depending on the version. Confirm the exact range when ordering.
Q5: What information is needed for a replacement?
Provide the full model or part number, pressure range, process connection, output requirements and any existing nameplate details.
