Able Instruments introduces Rixen Messtechnik Ringbalance differential pressure instruments

Low-pressure differential pressure applications often depend on selecting the correct measurement function, not simply choosing a gauge or transmitter from a catalogue.

Able Instruments are Rixen Messtechnik’s Exclusive Representative for Sales and Service in the UK and Ireland.

Through this relationship, Able supports product selection, supply and after-sales support for the Rixen Messtechnik Ringbalance range.

Rixen Messtechnik Ringbalance differential pressure instruments are mechanical low-pressure instruments used for indication, transmission and control duties across selected industrial and building-services applications.

The range supports applications where engineers may need local indication, transmitter output or control functionality. In the case of the RW65_EX_II, it also includes an intrinsically safe option for hazardous-area monitoring.

Typical applications include cleanroom pressure monitoring, HVAC systems, ventilation plant, furnace and combustion control, and biogas pressure monitoring. In these applications, the measurement function and installation conditions often need to be reviewed together.

Why this matters for customers

Low-pressure differential pressure applications often depend on more than selecting a gauge or transmitter from a catalogue.

Measuring range and scale unit are usually only part of the specification. Engineers may also need to consider signal output, supply voltage, control function, overload protection and installation environment before selecting the correct instrument.

Able’s role is to help customers turn those application requirements into the correct instrument choice.

Technical capability overview

The Rixen Messtechnik range is based on a mechanical measurement principle for very low differential pressures.

It covers indication, transmission and control, so selection can start with the required measurement function rather than the product model.

The range includes:

• RW65: a Ringbalance differential pressure indicator for local analogue indication of low draft, pressure, differential pressure and flow.
• MU-Digital: a Ringbalance differential pressure transmitter with LCD display and standard analogue outputs.
• MU-Analog-65: an analogue Ringbalance differential pressure transmitter with local display and 4-wire or 2-wire output options.
• Rixotact_4: a Ringbalance differential pressure controller with integrated three-point step control.
• RW65_EX_II: an intrinsically safe Ringbalance differential pressure gauge for hazardous-area low-pressure monitoring.

This makes the range relevant where low-pressure differential pressure instruments are required for local indication, remote signal transmission or control duties. The RW65_EX_II provides the hazardous-area option within the range.

Operational context

In many low-pressure applications, the challenge is not only whether a pressure difference can be measured. It is whether the selected instrument provides the right type of indication, output or control function for the site requirement.

A cleanroom may require differential pressure monitoring across pressure cascades. An HVAC system may require filter or ventilation pressure monitoring. Furnace and combustion applications may involve low draft pressure measurement, while biogas installations may require careful review of the process environment before an instrument is specified.

These application differences can lead to different instrument choices.

What this means for UK and Ireland customers

Able Instruments provide UK and Ireland customers with a local technical and commercial route for Rixen Messtechnik Ringbalance instruments.

This is useful when the specification needs to be checked before quotation. Relevant factors may include measuring range, scale unit, output signal, control function, overload protection or hazardous-area configuration.

It also gives engineers a clearer route to application support where the measurement task sits between pressure indication, differential pressure transmission and low-pressure process control.

Able Instruments and Rixen Messtechnik

Rixen Messtechnik manufactures Ringbalance differential pressure instruments for low-pressure measurement applications. In the UK and Ireland, Able provides application review, product selection and after-sales support across the range.

This support is particularly important where low pressure ranges, output requirements, control duties and installation conditions need to be considered before an instrument is specified.

What this means for engineers

For engineers working with low-pressure differential pressure measurement, the Rixen Messtechnik Ringbalance range helps separate the main specification routes: indication, transmission, control and hazardous-area monitoring.

The practical question is which measurement function is required, how the instrument will be read or integrated, and what environmental or hazardous-area conditions apply.

Frequently asked questions

What are Rixen Messtechnik Ringbalance differential pressure instruments?

Rixen Messtechnik Ringbalance differential pressure instruments are mechanical low-pressure instruments used for local indication, transmitter output, control functionality and, where the RW65_EX_II is selected, intrinsically safe hazardous-area monitoring.

Where are Rixen Messtechnik Ringbalance differential pressure instruments used?

Typical applications include cleanroom differential pressure monitoring, HVAC differential pressure monitoring, low draft pressure measurement, furnace pressure control, ventilation pressure monitoring, biogas pressure monitoring and hazardous-area differential pressure measurement.

Which Rixen Messtechnik Ringbalance instrument should be selected?

Selection depends on the function required. RW65 is used for local analogue indication, MU-Digital and MU-Analog-65 provide transmitter functionality, Rixotact_4 provides controller functionality, and RW65_EX_II is used for intrinsically safe hazardous-area low-pressure monitoring.

Measuring range, scale unit, output signal, supply voltage, control requirement and installation conditions should be reviewed before quotation.

Next steps

If you are reviewing low-pressure differential pressure measurement for a cleanroom, HVAC system, ventilation application, furnace, combustion process, biogas installation or hazardous-area location, it is worth confirming the required measurement function before selecting an instrument.

This includes whether the application requires indication, transmission, control or hazardous-area suitability.
