DWR
Pressure monitors
Especially suitable as a pressure monitor
or pressure limiter for fuel gases (DVGW
Worksheet G 260) and liquid fuels (e.g. fuel oil),
as well as for steam systems according to TRD
604 and hot-water systems to DIN EN12828,
systems in accordance to DIN EN12952-11
SIL 2 according IEC 61508-2
DWR625
Technical data
Pressure connection
External thread G 1/2 (pressure gauge
connection) to DIN 16 288 and internal thread
G 1/4 to ISO 228 Part 1 (for gas applications
internal thread permissible only up to 4 bar).
Switching device
Rugged housing (200) made of seawater-
resistant diecast aluminium.
Materials
Pressure bellows: Material no. 1.4571
Sensor housing: Material no. 1.4104 Switch
housing: GD AI Si 12 (DIN 1725)
Mounting position
Vertically upright and horizontal.
Ambient temperature at switching device
–25 to +70°C,
Medium temperature –25 to +70°C. The
maximum medium temperature at the pressure
sensor must not exceed the permitted ambient
temperature at the switching device.
Temperatures may reach 85°C for short periods.
Higher medium temperatures are possible
provided the above limit values for the switching
device are ensured by suitable measures
(e.g. siphon).
Mounting
Directly on the pressure line (pressure gauge
connection) or on a flat surface with two 4 mm
Ø screws.
Calibration
The DWR series is calibrated for rising pressure.
This means that the adjustable switching pressure
on the scale corresponds to the switching point at
rising pressure. The reset point is lower by the
amount of the switching differential. (See also
page 27, 2. Calibration at upper switching point).
In version ...-203 the switching differential is
adjustable. The basic calibration is maintained.

series are calibrated for rising pressure. This means that
the adjustable switching pressure on the scale corresponds to the switching point at rising pressure.

Calibration
The
DWR-574
series is calibrated for falling pressure. This means that the adjustable switching pressure
on the scale corresponds to the switching point at falling pressure. The reset point is higher by the
amount of the switching differential. (See also page 27, 1. Calibration at lower switching point).

Pressure data
Overpressure
Pressure
over
the relevant atmospheric pressure. The reference point is
atmospheric pressure.
Pressure

the relevant atmospheric pressure. The reference point is

Overpressure relative to absolute vacuum.
Vacuum
Absolute pressure
Differential pressure
Difference in pressure between 2 pressure measuring points.
Relative pressure
Overpressure or vacuum relative to atmospheric pressure.
Pressure data in all FEMA documents refers to relative pressure.
That is to say, it concerns pressure differentials relative to atmospheric pressure.
Overpressures have a positive sign, vacuums a negative sign.
Permissible working pressure
(maximum permissible pressure)
The maximum working pressure is defined as the upper limit at which the operation, switching reliability
and water tightness are in no way impaired (for values see Product summary).
Bursting pressure (test pressure)
Type-tested products undergo a pressure test certified by TÜV affirming that the bursting pressure
reaches at least the values mentioned in the Product summary. During the pressure tests the measuring
bellows are permanently deformed, but the pressurized parts do not leak or burst. The bursting pressure
is usually a multiple of the permissible working pressure.
Setting range
Pressure range in which the cutoff pressure can be set with the setting spindle.

Pressure data for a pressure
switchbased on the example
of DWR625:
Setting range: 0.5-6 bar
Perm. working pressure: 20 bar
Bursting pressure: >100 bar
Important:
All pressure data refers to overpressures or vacuums relative to atmospheric pressure.
Overpressures have a positive sign, vacuums a negative sign.
