| MANUFACTURE REPAIR & CALIBRATION OF GAUGES |
|
Gauges North West Ltd manufacture, repair and calibrate
an extensive range of gauges and accessories. From low cost general purpose gauges
to high quality process and test gauges
Our
range of specialist pressure and vacuum gauges are second to none.
Gauges North West's range of gauges are manufactured on-site at our Southport factory. Our manufacturing and
management systems are structured to help us produce short runs economically therefore
reducing the turn around time, enabling us to provide exactly to the customer
specification, producing a range of gauges to a high standard of excellence which
is both competitive and guaranteed to satisfy your requirements.
All instruments are manufactured
under the supervision of our Q.A. Department who monitor all the equipment from
goods inwards through to despatch ensuring that all finished products exactly
meet our customer specifications. |
| |
| TEST GAUGES |
 |
Our range of test gauges are useful for the implementation of Quality
Standards and meet the Pressure Safety Regulations.
Gauges North West Ltd's test gauges offer
an accuracy 0.25%.
All test gauges are manufactured to a very standard and are
all issued with a traceable calibration certificate.
Test
gauges are available in a selection of cases and dial sizes

MAGNEHELIC GAUGES |
Measure standard or differential pressure, with extremely high
accuracy. Using the simple frictionless magnehlic movement, it quickly indicates
low air or non-corrosive gas pressures - either positive, negative (vacuum) or
differential. Widely used to measure fan and blower pressures, filter resistance,
air velocity etc. |
|
| SAFETY PATTERN GAUGES |
|
Extensively in harsh environments - primarily those found
in petrochemical and offshore industries. The blow out back provides even greater
operator protection - being retained on the gauge by a centre screw, prevents
the risk of injury due to flying debris in the unlikely event of tube failure.
The gauges are supplied as standard dry and sealed for liquid filling, or can
be supplied ready filled with glycerine. |
| ELECTRICAL CONTACT GAUGES |
A wide range is available to meet all applications and
a high standard of quality ensures many years of trouble free operation. They
can be used in varying temperatures. Single or double contracts are standard with
triple contacts available on special request. Make or break settings can be achieved
in a variety of permutations with rising or falling pressure / temperatures. The
contact device allows the instrument pointer to continue indicating after the
switching operation has taken place. |
|
| VIBRATION GAUGES |
|
These gauges have been specially developed to meet
the problem of excessive vibration which is the biggest single contributory factor
in limiting the life of the instrument. It also helps to protect against the problems
associated with rapid surge or loss in pressure and trying to obtain an accurate
reading from a fluttering pointer. A Vibration Gauge gives greatly extended life
and cost savings in the long term. It can be considered as a suitable alternative
to Glycerine filling. |
| GENERAL
PURPOSE GAUGES |
Pressure and Vacuum gauges for general purpose use in
Hydraulic or pneumatic applications with standard accuracies. Suitable for gaseous
and liquid media that will not obstruct the pressure system or attack copper alloy
parts. |
|
| HYGIENIC GAUGES |
|
Specifically designed to be crevice free with flush diaphragm
for all hygienic applications. They contain no filling fluid which would contaminate
the process should a failure of the unit occur. Complying with the most stringent
of hygiene regulations, and is available with a full range of connections and
operating pressures. |
| DIFFERENTIAL GAUGES |
Differential Pressure is a measurement between
two different pressure sources. For example it could be the pressure difference
across a filter, valve or restrictor. Gauges North West Ltd Offer a range of Differential
Pressure Gauges for a wide variety of applications and industries. Our sealed
sensor systems accurately measure liquid level, flow and other differential
pressure |
|
DIAPHRAGM
SEAL GAUGES |
 |
The fitting of a diaphragm seal unit to a pressure gauge
is recommended where the medium to be measured is highly viscous or contains suspended
solids or is potentially corrosive to the Bourdon Tube. Seal units are normally
connected directly to the gauge, but connection may be made by flexible capillary,
which makes them ideal for remote pressure indication. Pressure is transmitted
from the diaphragm seal unit to the bourdon tube by a suitable filling medium,
the selection of which will ensure compatibility with the process and process
temperature. |
SCHAEFFER GAUGES |
Designed for measuring the pressure or vacuum of substances
which should not be handled by bourdon tube instruments. They are ideal for some
corrosive products or liquids containing suspended solids.
Implementing specialist materials for both the connection and diaphragm enable the Shaffer Diaphragm gauge to be configured for use on any gaseous or liquid media including suspended solids or powders. The direct drive from the diaphragm to the movement ensures a more positive indication of pressure than other models of tube gauges.
Offering a full range of flanged connection sizes and materials, Schaffer Diaphragm gauges can operate at pressure ranges as low as 30 mBar with the option to permit units to withstand a maximum pressure of 70 bar. |
 |
| ABSOLUTE PRESSURE GAUGES |
 |
These gauges are sealed to prevent changes in the prevailing barometric pressure affecting the calibration.
Used where pressures are to be measured independently
of the natural fluctuations in atmospheric pressure. As a general rule all the
known types of element and measuring principles can be applied. The pressure of
the media to be measured is compared against a reference pressure which, at the
same time, is absolute zero. case. |
