A pressure gauge adapter for sanitary conduit accepts a standard pressure gauge with a male threaded stem. The adapter has a flange to mate with an upper flange of a tubular stub where a diaphragm is positioned to serve as fluid barrier to block process liquid from leaving, and to serve as a seal gland. A hollow cylindrical wall rises from the flange member, with a sealing flange at its upper end. An elongated piston is situated within the hollow cylindrical wall with a lower head upon the lower diaphragm, and an upper head reaching the top end of the cylinder. A cap or dome situated above the cylinder has a flange member that mates with the upper flange member of the cylinder, with an upper diaphragm therebetween. The cap defines a space above the upper diaphragm, and is filled with a transfer liquid. A threaded bore in the cap accepts the threaded stem of the pressure gauge. |
