At Automation Products Group, Inc. (APG), we specialize in providing reliable, durable pressure transducers. This post highlights our range of pressure transducers, their features, and applications.
How Pressure Transducers Work
Pressure transducers use piezoresistive technology to accurately measure pressure. This is based off a small circuit or sensing element attached to the back of the diaphragm. As the diaphragm flexes form pressure, the resistance in the sensing element changes relative to pressure, providing a basis of measurement. Once the measurement is taken, the transmitter conditions the signal to the output and sends it off to the control system.
PT-200: Built for Durability
The PT-200 is a high-performance industrial pressure transmitter with 0.5% accuracy. The sensor fitting is machined from a solid piece of 17-4 stainless steel to provide stable operation when subjected to shock and vibration. The PT-200 boasts a compact design and is designed with high chemical compatibility. This general use sensor features digital compensation and temperature correction for high accuracy and stability.
PT-300: Cost-Effective, High-Performance
The PT-300 is an amplified output pressure transducer designed for durability and cost-efficiency. Capable of withstanding over 1000 PSI, this compact sensor provides reliable and accurate measurements in harsh conditions. Its low cost and durability make them great for a wide variety of uses, including OEM applications. Their small size and integrated electronics make them a perfect fit for measuring static and dynamic pressure measurements without taking up a lot of space.
PT-400: Intrinsic Safety for Extreme Conditions
The PT-400 is an intrinsically safe pressure transducer built for heavy-duty use. It excels in harsh environments, enduring high vibrations, pressure spikes, and extended temperature ranges. It has hazardous location certifications, including CSA (Class 1, Div 1), ATEX (Ex II 1G Ex ia IIB T4 Ga), and IECEx (Ex ia IIB T4 Ga) for global use.
Applications
Our PT line of pressure transducers is used in a variety of applications, including:
- Dirt and fine dust
- Water spray and washdowns
- Outdoors and inclement weather
- Hazardous locations
- High vibration scenarios
