General
Inner diameter	5 mm

The transparent tube from Chauvin Arnoux is a replacement or accessory part for the micro-manometer CA 1550. It serves as a connecting element between the measuring device and the measurement point, enabling precise detection of pressure differences in air or gas flows. The tube has an inner diameter of 5 mm and a total length of 2 metres, making it suitable for flexible use in various application scenarios. The transparency allows visual inspection of fluid flow, which is helpful for troubleshooting or checking for blockages.

Applications

The tube is specifically designed for use with the micro-manometer CA 1550, which is used in ventilation and climate control, building automation, and industrial process monitoring. It transmits pressure signals from the measurement point to the device, with the small inner diameter of 5 mm enabling high sensitivity for low pressure differences. The length of 2 m provides sufficient flexibility to reach measurement points at a distance from the device without compromising measurement accuracy.

Functions and Features in Detail

The tube is made of a transparent, flexible material that allows clear visibility of its contents. This is particularly useful for detecting deposits, blockages, or unexpected fluid accumulations inside the tube. The constant inner diameter of 5 mm ensures uniform flow and minimizes pressure losses. The length of 2 m is sufficient for typical applications in technical operations, eliminating the need for additional extensions.

Technology Explained Simply

The transparency of the tube is not an aesthetic feature, but serves a functional purpose: when measuring air or gas flows, moisture, dust, or other particles may condense or accumulate inside the tube. Visual inspection enables the operator to detect such issues early and, if necessary, clean or replace the tube. The material selection ensures sufficient elasticity to withstand bending without cracking, and is suitable for use with air and non-aggressive gases.

The length of 2 m allows flexible placement of the micro-manometer CA 1550, without requiring the measurement point to be immediately adjacent to the device. This is particularly advantageous in tight or hard-to-reach spaces, where the device can be mounted at a more accessible location.

Compatibility and Accessories

The tube is specifically developed for the micro-manometer CA 1550 and is offered as a replacement or accessory part. It is not intended for other measuring devices or systems. Connection is made via the standard connection ports of the CA 1550, with the fit designed for an inner diameter of 5 mm. No additional accessories are required for installation.

Installation and Mounting

Installation is performed by simply connecting to the connection ports of the micro-manometer CA 1550. The tube is secured at the measurement point, with the fastening method (e.g. clamp ring, hose clamp) varying depending on the application environment. The flexibility of the material allows easy bending and adaptation to spatial constraints. No special mounting equipment or tools are required.

Operational Advantages

The transparency of the tube enables quick visual inspection of flow and the condition of the tube. The length of 2 m provides flexibility in positioning the measuring device, improving operational efficiency. The constant inner diameter of 5 mm ensures reliable and reproducible measurements, as no unwanted flow distortions occur. The material is suitable for use in air and gas flows and offers sufficient service life under normal operating conditions.
