Gauge Syphons
AS-Schneider U Type Gauge Syphons and Coil Syphons as well as Compact Gauge Syphons are used to protect the pressure gauge from the effect of hot pressure media such as steam and also to reduce the effect of rapid pressure surges. The syphon allows condensate to form and be collected inside the syphon, preventing the hot media (hot vapors, not just steam) from coming in direct contact with the pressure instrument. The AS-Schneider U Type and Coil Syphons, as standard, are rated to 160 bar (2,321 psi), the Compact Gauge Syphons to 420 bar (6,092 psi). AS-Schneider Straight Pipes and 90° Elbows are used when gauge syphons are not necessary due to the service conditions.
