Press Release Summary:
Series PTX 7900, for process applications, incorporates ASIC technology and surface-mounted electronics. User-adjustable zero/span controls are accessible via removable screwed-end cap. Series incorporates standardized core, which is available in operating pressures from 1-10,000 psi sealed gauge or absolute, with proportional 2-wire, 4-20 mA output. Accuracy is ±0.25% FS for combined non-linearity, hysteresis, and repeatability.
Original Press Release:
New Pressure Transmitters Provide a Cost-Effective Alternative to Gauges/Switches in Process Applications
Druck announce a new series of rugged pressure transmitters which combine modular design with the latest advances in ASIC technology and surface mounted electronics. This provides a lightweight and cost effective alternative to traditional pressure gauges and switches, with user adjustable zero/span controls accessible via a removable screwed end cap.
The PTX 7900 series features a "standardized" core which is available in operating pressure ranges from 1 psi to 10,000 psi sealed guage or absolute, with proportional 2 wire 4-20mA output. User preferred pressure units and intermediate span values can be specified between these limits and compound (bi-directional gauge) ranges can be supplied.
Accuracy is ± 0.25% F.S. for combined non-linearity, hysteresis and repeatability and the operating temperature range of -40°C to 100°C ambient is standard. The sensor is enclosed by an electron beam welded Stainless Steel body and Hastelloy isolation diaphragm. This rugged construction ensures compatibility with a wide range of pressure media and the ability to withstand severe operating conditions.
The PTX 7900 series also offers excellent RFI immunity, meeting the highest level of CE marking requirements for heavy industrial use. ATEX Intrinsically Safe and Flameproof versions are also available for use within certified hazardous areas.
