Press Release Summary:
Series PTX 400 enables temperature/pressure measurements to be made directly on subsea wellheads and production manifolds by utilizing micromachined piezo resistive silicon pressure measuring technology. Able to handle external pressure to 9,500 ftH2O, pressure ranges are available to 10,000 psi with proof pressure at 1.5 x FS range and secondary pressure containment in excess of 15,000 psi. Temperature measurement range is from -40 to 150°C.
Original Press Release:
PTX 400, Subsea Wellhead Pressure/ Temperature Transmitters
The PTX 400 Series has been specifically designed for long term use in subsea locations. It enables accurate process measurements to be made directly on subsea wellheads and production manifolds. The sensor design is based on API performance requirement PRI and product specification level PSL3.
The PTX 400 utilizes micromachined piezo resistive silicon pressure measuring technology continually developed and proven by Druck for 30 years. In addition, for the TTX and PTTX variants, precision temperature measurement capability over a wide operating range is provided by a fully integrated high performance platinum resistance type sensor.
Pressure ranges are available to 10,000 psi as standard with proof pressure at 1.5 x full scale range and secondary pressure containment in excess of 15,000 psi.
Features include:
o Temperature measurement -40 to 150°C
o External pressure to 9,500 ftH20
o Better than ± 0.1% accuracy
o All welded construction, high containment
o Screen value is 25% --> 0%, Color PMS 313
