ISO-Spool® For Small Diameter Piping
There’s a common refrain reverberating throughout the industrial world these days, and its message is unmistakably clear:
Out with the old diaphragm seal. In with the OPW’s ISO-Spool®.
Indeed, for the steady and growing number of companies embracing and implementing this simple call-to-action, something powerfully refreshing and highly reassuring is happening as process liquid flows through their pipes:
Process flow is smooth and uninterrupted; pressure readings are consistently reliable and accurate.
Thanks to OPW's advanced, patented Gauge Isolation Spools, gone are the days when solids from the process flow plug the pressure-sensing mechanism or clog the access port on the diaphragm seal.
Feature/Benefits
- Gauge (or switch) is in contact only with captive liquid and never directly with the process liquid.
- Isolating the gauge (or switch) from solids in process flow results in accurate readings.
- Gauge (or switch) can be removed for calibration, repair, or replacement – without interrupting process flow.
- Unique flexible cylinder prevents plugging, which means pressure readings are reliable and accurate.
- Integral design eliminates accidental breakage.
- Adaptable to a variety of process conditions and applications.
- Will not clog (which is not true of diaphragm seals).
