Rugged enclosures and custom assembly service

Parker Instrumentation has launched a range of rugged enclosures for field-mounted process instruments.

Three sizes of enclosures are available for housing one, two or three process instruments.

These shelters are supported by an assembly service that will provide them ready for field use - with manifold and tubing connections for pressure, flow, temperature or other common process variable instruments, and any accessories required.

Together, the enclosures and support service provides users with a means of simplifying instrumentation projects.

"Our comprehensive portfolio of enclosures and accessories means that project engineers can focus their energy on specifying the instrumentation they need, while we take care of everything else", says Brian Rice, Product Marketing Manager for Parker Instrumentation.

"We will configure and assemble complete housing solutions for the instrument, and deliver them directly to the project - with each assembly type called off by a single part number - dramatically simplifying specification and purchasing, and shortening leadtimes".

Three enclosure sizes in the new CPS range are available: with widths of 49, 58 or 69cm/18.9, 22.8 or 27.2inch - offering mounting space suitable for one, two or three instruments/transmitters respectively, plus a manifold and connections to the instrumentation tubing, and an electrical heating element or steam heat tubing.

The CPS enclosures are fabricated from tough GRP (glass reinforced polyester).

Each size variant employs the same basic design with hinges that allow the top to open very widely, providing complete access from the front right down to the floorline, as well as excellent access from both sides and above - for easy commissioning and maintenance.

Process connections may be routed either through the base or the rear of the enclosure - for application flexibility.

The front of the instrument includes a large window made from polycarbonate or laminated glass.

Parker Instrumentation will supply CPS enclosures fully assembled: pre-fitted with a manifold which allows users to simply bolt the instrument into place, or as a finished unit complete with the instrument and/or other equipment assembled to the customer's specifications.

All commonly required manifold types are available off-the-shelf, including two-, three- and five-way designs.

A very wide choice of accessories is available to customise the enclosure for individual applications, including insulation and a range of explosion-proof heaters - approved to international standards including IP68, NEMA 4X and EEx e II.

Parker Instrumentation provides tube fittings, valves, double-block-and-bleed valves, manifolds and enclosures for process and plant instrumentation in sectors including oil and gas, chemical/petrochemical, alternate fuels, pulp and paper, and analytical/high purity.

The organization is a division of Parker Hannifin.
