High accuracy pressure sensor launched
The P10000 series high accuracy pressure sensor has been introduced by Polaron Components, and will be on their stand at the MTEC 2005 exhibition in Birmingham next February
Their fully flush design and absence of crevices or tight angles mean that material cannot become trapped.
Also, as the transducers do not contain a silicone oil fill, there is no risk of contamination in the unlikely event of the diaphragm rupturing.
Operation is made easier since the back-end, while providing a standard analogue output, incorporates a digital LED display.
Push buttons for setting zero and span are included, which enables the sensors to be recalibrated on site.
This means that a smaller range of transducers can be stocked.
"Like all our Schaevitz transducers," said Steve Couchman of Polaron Components, "the P380 series have a high over-range pressure, which enables their full working range to be used without worrying about pressure spikes".
Available in Hastelloy or Inconel, the transducers are easy to clean and disinfect, and can be steam cleaned at up to 150 degrees C.
Areas of application include the food processing, beverage, pharmaceutical, biotech and paper industries, as well as ship-borne uses such as ballast sensors.
