The petrochemical industry includes the exploration, extraction, refining, and transportation of petroleum products. It consists of two major segments: upstream and downstream. High pressure applications are frequently found in this market with typical process pressures of over of 10,000 psi. Diaphragm seals are often used to protect pressure instruments (pressure gauges, transmitters and switches) from high pressures, pulsation, and corrosion. The chemical industry also makes extremely high demands on instruments used within chemical process applications. Measuring instruments for pressure and temperature are used a wide range of applications including locations at risk for explosion and highly corrosive environments. The predominant material used in chemical process engineering is stainless steel. Gage-it offers a variety of pressure and temperature instruments designed specifically for chemical, petrochemical and refining applications. Gage-it offers gauges that meet or exceed pressure gauge standards EN 837-1 and ASME B40.100-2005.
