AST wet/wet DP sensors are designed for use in water management, gas pipeline instrumentation, filtration, natural gas compressors and applications where corrosive liquids and gases are present
The new, lower pricing schedule has been applied to all quantity levels.
"This reduction is possible due to the increased AST 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 Model 1000 also has a wide operating temperature ranging from -40 to 85C (-40 to 185F).
The competitively priced pressure switch is offered with factory-set switch point and hysteresis.
Units offer switching capability of 1 amp at 24VDC or 0.5 amps at 125VAC, 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.
