Bourdon – Reliable industrial measurement solutions from Baumer Group
Introducing the Bourdon Brand – Baumer Group
Founded in 1850, Bourdon is a brand that supplies industrial mechanical measuring instruments, including pressure gauges, thermometers, pressure switches and temperature switches. The brand grew out of the Bourdon tube invented by its founder, Eugène Bourdon, the most widely used mechanical pressure measurement principle today. Thanks to their high durability and reliability, Bourdon measuring instruments are widely used for monitoring, control and safety applications in the oil and gas, energy, chemical, water supply and HVAC industries.
Since 2005, Bourdon has officially been part of Baumer Group – a Swiss group specializing in sensors for industrial automation. Baumer Group currently continues to manufacture and distribute Bourdon measurement solutions, while also developing new technologies for these products.
The Bourdon brand may also be known by other names such as Bourdon – Baumer or Baumer Bourdon Haenni.
Industrial measurement solutions from Bourdon
The Bourdon brand provides mechanical measurement solutions for monitoring pressure and temperature in industrial applications. The solutions from Bourdon include:
- Pressure gauges
- Differential pressure gauges
- Pressure switches
- Differential pressure switches
- Diaphragm seals
- Temperature gauges
- Temperature switches
- Accessories pressure and temperature monitoring
Pressure gauges
Bourdon provides mechanical pressure gauges for relative, absolute and differential pressure measurement, with measuring ranges from 0 – 6 mbar to 0 – 1600 bar. Bourdon pressure gauges require no external power supply, allowing pressure to be displayed directly on site, with many options to meet different application requirements such as medium compatibility, overpressure protection and operational safety.
Types of Bourdon pressure gauges
- Industrial pressure gauges
- Solid-front pressure gauges
- Process pressure gauges
- Utility pressure gauges
- Capsule pressure gauges
- Diaphragm pressure gauges
- Pressure gauges with electrical contacts
- Absolute pressure gauges
Differential pressure gauges
Bourdon differential pressure gauges are designed to accurately measure the pressure difference between two points in a process, with common applications such as filter monitoring, liquid level measurement in closed tanks, and flow measurement.
Types of Bourdon differential pressure gauges
- Differential pressure gauges with capsule
- Differential pressure gauges with bellows
- Differential pressure gauges with differential cell
Diaphragm seals
Bourdon diaphragm seals are especially used in corrosive industrial environments, or those containing chemicals that can damage the sensing element of gauges and pressure transmitters. They transmit pressure from the measured medium to the measuring instrument, preventing the medium from coming into direct contact with the sensor.
Types of Bourdon diaphragm seals
- Seals with threaded connection
- Seals with flange connection
- Hygienic diaphragm seals
- In-line seals
- Specific diaphragm seals
Pressure switches
Bourdon pressure switches give an alert when the pressure exceeds the set threshold. Thanks to their high reliability and independence from a power supply to operate, mechanical pressure switches are used in critical safety applications, such as power plants, pressure chamber monitoring systems, tank levels, valves and compressors.
Types of Bourdon pressure switches
- Compact pressure switches
- Industrial pressure switches
Differential pressure switches
Bourdon differential pressure switches measure the pressure difference between a high-pressure point and a low-pressure point. The switches detect and alert when the difference between the two points falls below or rises above a preset value.
With high accuracy and reliability, Bourdon differential pressure switches are widely used in power plants, especially nuclear power plants, as well as in differential pressure monitoring in filtration systems, liquid level measurement in closed tanks, and compressor systems.
Pressure measurement accessories
Bourdon provides a wide range of pressure measurement accessories to support installation, protect instruments under harsh operating conditions, and isolate instruments during maintenance or calibration, meeting the needs of many industrial applications.
Types of Bourdon pressure measurement accessories
- Valves and cocks
- Manifold valve assemblies
- Overpressure protectors
- Pulsation dampeners
- Siphons
- Cooling adapters
- Capillaries
- Stub connectors
Temperature gauges
Bourdon temperature gauges provide mechanical temperature measurement, allowing temperature to be monitored directly at the process without an external power supply. Bourdon temperature gauges are suitable for HVAC, oil and gas, food and beverage, water treatment, power plant, chemical and petrochemical applications.
Types of Bourdon temperature gauges
- Bimetal thermometers
- Gas-filled thermometers
Temperature switches
Bourdon temperature switches close or open electrical contacts when the process temperature exceeds the upper set threshold or falls below the lower set threshold. The devices require no external power supply, ensuring repeatability and switching reliability.
Types of Bourdon temperature switches
- Compact temperature switches
- Industrial temperature switches
Temperature measurement accessories
Types of Bourdon temperature measurement accessories
- Welding sleeves
- Thermowells with welding sleeve
