Pressure transducers for hazardous areas
The APG PT-400 Pressure Transducers offer cost effective and durable solutions in applications requiring high accuracy and reliability over wide range of pressures
As a result, the RPM series precisely satisfies application requirements for reliable operation in the chemical, oil, food processing, and waste treatment industries, among others.
RPM series sensors come in lengths up to six meters (20 feet) with a variety of available mounting configurations.
Output options include resistive chain or loop powered 4-20 mA.
The sensors have only one moving part, an anti-stick float that moves up and down a vertical stem.
A permanent magnet inside the float acts on a series of closely spaced reed switches and resistors inside the stem.
The sensor converts the total resistance value into a voltage or current signal that is proportional to the level of the liquid.
