ALF

What This Data Means — For Quick Client Selection

  • Choose ALF when vibration exists
    Ideal for compressor skid, DG room, boiler house, nitrogen manifolds → eliminates pointer shake.

  • Liquid-filled = Pointer Stability
    Glycerin/silicone inside absorbs mechanical pulsation → accurate visible reading, no fatigue damage.

  • Corrosion Selection:

    • Brass wetted parts → normal air/water duty

    • SS316 → chemicals / washdown / pharma plants

    • Monel → chlorine / aggressive gas line (special order)

  • Max temp awareness:
    Not for direct steam due to fill fluid expansion →
    steam lines must use siphon + snubber OR dry-case option.

  • Better Life vs Dry Gauges:
    Internal movement protected → longer service life, fewer calibration drifts.

When NOT to choose ALF:
If medium temp > +65°C → glycerin expands → use AFF / ATD steam-rated gauge instead.

Description

Baumer ALF is a liquid-filled Bourdon tube pressure gauge designed for high-vibration, pulsation & shock-loaded lines. With glycerin/silicone damping, internal movement stays protected and pointer remains stable. Ideal for pump skids, compressors, diesel gensets, hydraulics, pneumatic banks, and utility systems exposed to vibration. Built in full SS construction for durability in plant environments.
