Pressure transmitter suits hazardous apps

PX835 series explosion/flame-proof, intrinsically safe pressure transmitters from Omega Engineering are designed to meet the stringent requirements of hazardous industrial applications, such as oil-field equipment, upstream oil/gas production, natural-gas compression/transfer control, alternative-energy projects, and fuel-cell manufacturing. The devices are available in compound ranges from 0 to vac. to vac. to 100 psi, and gage ranges from 0 to 5 psi to 0 to 10,000 psi.

For ranges below 5,000 psi, accuracy is ±0.5% TP ±0.40% BFSL, which includes non-linearity, hysteresis and non-repeatability, zero offset, and span setting errors. The transducers, whose prices start at $560, have all-welded stainless steel cases and use of state of the art sensor technology combined with digital calibration to provide accurate, reliable, and stable output data.
