Solid state SS pressure switches are rugged
Constructed of stainless steel, the rugged design and high-accuracy of solid state pressure switches suit the measurement of gases and liquids compatible with stainless steel.
Transducers eliminate corrosive media leak risk
Sensors that measure a wide range of benign and corrosive media, with temperatures ranging from -70 to +300 deg F provide data for safety, control and alarm functions.
Digital gauge checks pressure in corrosives
Affordable digital MEMS-based pressure gauge offers easy-to-read, accurate pressure measurement in corrosive media including any gas, liquid or solid that is compatible with 17-4 PH stainless steel.
The new, lower pricing schedule has been applied to all quantity levels.
"This reduction is possible due to AST's increased manufacturing efficiency," commented Samuel Franzblau, AST Sales and Marketing Manager.
He also stated that lowered price can be attributed to "increased leveraging of buying power with vendors." The Model 1000 is a highly repeatable, stainless steel pressure switch designed for the measurement of gases and liquids that are compatible with stainless steel.
Its one-piece sensor element is a solid-state design, free of moving parts, internal O-rings, welds and fill fluid, all of which eliminate the chance of process contamination.
The switch mechanism includes a pair of isolated relays and is packaged with a high level of EMI/RFI protection (100V/m).
AST's Model 1000 also has a wide operating temperature ranging from -40 to 85andnumber778;C (-40 to 185andnumber778;F).
The competitively priced pressure switch is offered with factory-set switch point and hysteresis.
Units offer switching capability of 1 amp @ 24V DC or 0.5 amps @ 125V AC, max.
Open or closed circuits are provided, based on customer's defined switching point.
The sensor is available in switch points between 25 PSI and 10,000 PSI and with high purity finishes.
The heavy-duty relay contacts and high electrical isolation [up to 500VDC] allow this pressure switch to handle a variety of applications.
The Model 1000 is ideal for applications that require consistent repeatability, excellent long-term stability, trouble- free operation, long cyclical life and high performance.
Ideal applications include: test stands, hydraulic systems, refrigeration, off road, process control, compressors and oil and gas instrumentation.
