Process Gauges resist vibration and pulsation.
April 9, 2010 -
Available in stainless steel, Monel, and copper alloy models, XSEL(TM) Series is suited for pressure applications found in refining, petrochemical, and chemical plants. Pressure system utilizes stress reducing Bourdon tube design and movement with hardened components, which enables it to produce 10 million or more pressure cycles.

WIKA XSEL(TM) Process Gauge: the New Standard in Excellence
The WIKA XSEL(TM) process gauge series has been designed for pressure applications found in today's grueling refining, petrochemical and chemical plants. Over the last few years, few upgrades have been done in processing plants, yet producers have been required to increase capacity with existing equipment. Due to this strain, plants have increased stress on their systems and operating units. Higher pulsating pressures and heavy mechanically induced vibrations are translating to all areas of the processing equipment, especially pressure instrumentation.
WIKA knows that a widely accepted solution for these extreme environments is a liquid filled pressure gauge. However, over the years of working with large processing plants through WIKA's Best Practice Instrument Review program, we have found that many plants unknowingly still use a dry case pressure gauge in many applications that require a higher degree of protection. Sometimes these applications result in pressure gauges with off-zero pointers, missing or broken pointers and worn pressure systems.
The XSEL(TM) process gauge series from WIKA is designed specifically to solve these application issues. Our state-of-the-art pressure system design and rugged movement makes our pressure gauge the best choice for many applications in the plant environment. The XSEL(TM) family includes stainless steel, Monel and copper alloy models and the entire family offers a new standard of excellence in innovation, performance, safety, quality, availability and value.
WIKA XSEL(TM) Stands for Excellence in:
Innovation - Utilizing a stress reducing Bourdon tube design and movement with hardened components, the XSEL(TM) process gauge pressure system is capable of producing 10 million or more pressure cycles.
Performance & Safety - Studies have shown that the XSEL(TM) process gauge lasts 5 times longer than competing brands when used in like applications. Due to its greater resistance to vibration and pulsation, the XSEL(TM) process gauge reduces downtime from regularly replacing worn-out instruments and improves safety and efficiency.
Quality - All XSEL(TM) process gauge movements are Swiss made, producing the most precise, reliable and rugged movements available today. WIKA is offering an industry's best warranty on all XSEL(TM) process gauges with a standard 5 year warranty on the pressure gauge and a 10 year warranty on the pressure system. (See Terms & Conditions)
Availability - Since WIKA manufactures in Lawrenceville, Georgia, XSEL(TM) process gauges are readily available to ship for most common ranges as well as with diaphragm seal configurations.
Value - XSEL(TM) is an economical solution for most processing applications. With XSEL(TM) process gauges you can expect excellence in innovation, performance, safety, quality, availability and an industry's best warranty.
