WIKA DPGT43 Differential Pressure Gauge with Output Signal

Overview

The WIKA DPGT43 differential pressure gauge with output signal, marketed as the intelliGAUGE®, is a dual-function instrument that provides simultaneous local mechanical indication and a proportional 4…20 mA electrical output signal from a single, compact all-metal body. Built on WIKA’s proven model 732.51 stainless steel differential pressure gauge platform, the DPGT43 is manufactured in accordance with EN 837-3 and is intended for process industry applications where both an easy-to-read on-site display and remote signal transmission to a control room are required from the same measuring point.

For plant operators across Oman and the wider GCC region managing utility, process, and safety-related differential pressure measuring points, the DPGT43 eliminates the need for a separate transmitter and local gauge, reducing installation cost and the number of process connections required. Seven Star LLC supplies the WIKA DPGT43 intelliGAUGE to customers in Muscat, Sohar, Salalah, and across the Sultanate of Oman as an authorized WIKA distribution partner, providing genuine factory-sourced instruments with full documentation and technical support.

Measurement and Operating Principle

The DPGT43 uses a robust diaphragm measuring system in which differential pressure produces a pointer rotation proportional to the applied pressure, in the same manner as a conventional mechanical differential pressure gauge. What distinguishes the DPGT43 is the addition of a non-contact electronic angle encoder – technology proven in safety-critical automotive applications – which determines the exact position of the pointer shaft without any physical contact, eliminating wear and friction over the life of the instrument.

From this angle measurement, the gauge generates a proportional electrical output signal, typically 4…20 mA transmitted per NAMUR recommendations, though 0…20 mA and 0…10 V options are also available. The measuring span of the electrical signal is factory-adjusted automatically to align with the mechanical display, so that the full scale of the analogue dial corresponds precisely to the 4…20 mA range, with the electrical zero point available for manual field adjustment. Because the mechanical display operates independently of any external power source, the gauge remains fully readable during a power failure, an important safety consideration for critical measuring points.

Engineering Design of the WIKA DPGT43

The DPGT43 is constructed from highly corrosion-resistant stainless steel with an all-metal sealing of the media chamber, eliminating the need for elastomer sealing elements and delivering superior long-term leak tightness compared to gauges relying on rubber or polymer seals. The all-metal construction combined with the close-fitting design of the pressure element also provides high overload safety, allowing the DPGT43 to withstand static pressures and overpressure events that would damage lighter-duty instruments.

The gauge is available with nominal dial sizes of 100 mm and 160 mm for clear on-site readability, and covers differential pressure measuring ranges starting from as low as 0…16 mbar, extending to higher ranges suited to a wide variety of process applications. Individual, non-linear characteristic curves – such as x² or √x scaling – are available for flow measurement applications where the differential pressure signal must be linearized to represent flow rate directly. No configuration is necessary at the point of installation thanks to the instrument’s plug-and-play design, reducing commissioning time significantly.

Industrial Applications

The WIKA DPGT43 is widely used across process plants, utility stations, and safety-related measuring points where both local visual confirmation and remote signal transmission are required from the same differential pressure tapping. Typical applications include filter monitoring, pump and compressor differential pressure checks, flow measurement via orifice plates or venturi elements using the non-linear characteristic curve option, and tank or vessel differential level applications.

In Oman’s process, utilities, and industrial sectors, including facilities supporting the Sohar and Salalah economic zones, the DPGT43 offers plant engineers a space-saving solution that combines two measuring functions into one process connection.
