Solutions that optimize the installation, accuracy, and service life of your equipment.<\/em><\/p>\n

At Flexilatina, we offer a complete and comprehensive portfolio of accessories designed to complement and protect your pressure instruments. Each component fulfills a specific function that contributes to reliable and safe performance in any industrial application.<\/p>\n<\/div>

\n
<\/div>\n\n

Diaphragm separators (chemical seals)<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/div>

Available in sanitary, flanged, threaded, and other special connections. Made from 304, 316L, 316 stainless steel, Monel, Hastelloy, and other materials, as well as special coatings such as PTFE, PFA, and gold.<\/p>\n

For each separator application, we offer the perfect design, material, and filling fluids.<\/p>\n

They prevent direct contact between the medium and the instrument, protecting it from corrosive, viscous, or high-temperature fluids<\/em>.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>

\n
<\/div>\n\n

Needle valves and Purge valves<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/div>

Pressure measuring instruments can be safely separated with our lockable and purgeable needle valves. Available with one (1) to three (3) handles (valves) with threaded and\/or flanged connections as a monoblock or monoflange valve.<\/p>\n

In addition, with special requirements such as: NACE MR0175 \/ ISO 15156, if required.<\/p>\n

They allow the instrument to be isolated and trapped pressure to be evacuated. They facilitate maintenance and improve operational safety. <\/em><\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>

\n
<\/div>\n\n

Capillary extension (Capillaries)<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/div>

These are flexible stainless steel tubes that allow the instrument to be separated from the measuring point, protecting it from heat, vibration, or aggressive environments.<\/p>\n

Available lengths: from 0.5 m to over 10 m with threaded connections or others as required.<\/p>\n

Applications: Boilers, furnaces, hot fluids. Chemical or corrosive processes. Installations with remote access or control panels.<\/em><\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>

<\/div>\n\n

3- and 5-way manifolds (valves)
\n<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/div>

For differential pressure measuring instruments (differential pressure gauges or process transmitters)<\/p>\n

They integrate isolation, purge, and equalization functions in a single compact body. Ideal for differential pressure transmitters.<\/p>\n

Used in: Filtration systems, gas lines, critical processes where precision and safety are required. <\/em><\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>

<\/div>\n\n

Cooling towers and Siphon tubes (Pigtail)<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/div>

Cooling Towers <\/strong>are finned metal cylinders or specially designed cylinders that reduce temperature by convection.<\/p>\n

Siphon tubes <\/strong>form a loop in which condensate accumulates. This condensate acts as a thermal barrier, preventing steam from reaching the instrument directly.<\/p>\n

They improve reading stability under variable thermal conditions and extend the service life of the instrument. They are used in steam, boilers, and industrial thermal processes. <\/em><\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>

\n
<\/div>\n\n

Snubbers (Pulse dampeners) and Overpressure protectors<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/div>

Snubbers <\/strong>reduce the impact of overpressures and pulsations in process lines, protecting the internal mechanism of the instrument.<\/p>\n

Overpressure protectors <\/strong>are devices that protect the instrument from sudden pressure spikes that could damage it or alter its reading.<\/p>\n

Used for hydraulic and pneumatic systems, pulsating fluids. Chemical, food, and water treatment plants.<\/em><\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>

Other accessories<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Include: Flushing ring, Thread adapters, Reducing bushings, Flange for panel mounting, and Laminated safety glass for pressure gauges.<\/p>\n

Pressure instruments compatible with Accessories<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Mechanical pressure gauges \/ Digital pressure gauges \/ Process transmitters \/ Pressure transmitters \/ Differential pressure transmitters \/ Electronic or mechanical pressure switches \/ Pressure transducers.<\/p>\n
