INDUSTRY COMPONENT

Connection Socket

A precision connection socket for pressure gauges that provides secure, leak-proof interface between gauge and process line.

Component Specifications

Definition
A mechanical interface component designed to connect pressure gauges to process systems, featuring standardized threads, sealing surfaces, and pressure containment capabilities. It ensures accurate pressure transmission while preventing leaks and maintaining system integrity under varying operational conditions.
Working Principle
Provides a sealed mechanical interface using threaded connections and gasket/sealing surfaces to transmit fluid pressure from the process line to the pressure gauge bourdon tube or sensing element while preventing leakage and maintaining pressure integrity.
Materials
Stainless Steel 316L, Brass C36000, or Carbon Steel with corrosion-resistant plating; Sealing materials: PTFE, Viton, or Buna-N gaskets

Frequently Asked Questions

What are the main types of pressure gauge connection sockets?

The main types include NPT (National Pipe Thread), BSP (British Standard Pipe), and metric threaded sockets, each with specific sealing methods and regional preferences.

How do I prevent leaks in pressure gauge connections?

Use proper thread sealant (PTFE tape or liquid thread sealant), ensure correct torque during installation, and verify gasket/O-ring integrity. Regular maintenance checks are essential.

Can different brand sockets be interchangeable?

Yes, if they follow the same thread standards (ISO, DIN, ASME) and have matching pressure/temperature ratings, but material compatibility must be verified for specific applications.
