Transmitter meets many pressure sensing needs
Pressure transmitter offers selection from a wide variety of configurations to meet virtually every application need for engines, compressors, turbines, pumps and other common heavy equipment.
Pressure transmitter calibration simplified
Low pressure transmitter and process valve actuator allow transmitters in critical airflow systems to be easily validated and calibrated in place without disturbing process tubes or wiring.
Basic element is a piezo-resistive pressure sensor characterized by high signal stability.
Linearisation of the sensor signal and compensation of the thermal error is done by intelligent digital electronics.
Diverse process connections and chemical seals for food, chemical, and pharmaceutical industries are available.
All media wetted parts are stainless steel 1.4435 (316L).
The xact i can be delivered optionally with stainless steelball housing or with a robust powder-coated aluminium die cast case.
Electrical output is a 4-20 mA 2-wire signal; optionally HART communication is available.
The standard LCD display module is rotatable in the housing and protected by a laminated safety glass window.
Complete configuration can be made via pushbuttons on the display module.
Some Key features include: * 10:1 turndown ratio of pressure range.
* 170mbar through to 35 bar ranges.
* Media temperatures up to 300 deg C.
* Full adjustability of zero, span and damping function by push buttons.
* <+/-0.05% Accuracy.
* 4-20mA output as standard with optional HART Communication.
* Integrated three level display with units, text and bar graph.
* Stainless steel 'ball' housing or die cast aluminium housing.
* Numerous fittings: inch, dairy pipe, clamp, flanges and varivent.
