Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of pressure gauge technology, and in particular to a high-purity PFA corrosion-resistant pressure gauge. Background Technology

[0002] High-purity chemical supply systems deliver chemicals such as etching solutions and photoresists to semiconductor equipment, preventing metal ion contamination. Chemical monitoring systems (CMS) monitor the liquid status in real time. For equipment or monitoring systems used in corrosive, high-purity environments, the safety of the medium pressure is a crucial technical indicator of the entire system's safety performance. Therefore, pressure gauges with corrosion resistance are typically installed to monitor the system pressure. Ordinary pressure gauges lack corrosion resistance; leaks of corrosive media can cause serious safety accidents. Traditional metal pressure gauges have a lifespan of less than 200 hours under extreme conditions such as hydrofluoric acid (≥40%) and hot concentrated sulfuric acid (≥80℃), while existing PTFE-lined gauges suffer from cold-flow deformation (ASTM D638 test deformation rate >15%). Therefore, it is necessary to design high-purity pressure gauges that possess both high purity and corrosion resistance while also monitoring system pressure. Utility Model Content
