Applications of industrial pressure transmitters
- Hydraulics: presses, machine tools, mobile machinery – ranges up to 400 bar.
- Pneumatics and air compressors: receiver and pipeline pressure.
- Water and booster pumps with VFDs: 4–20 mA or 0–10 V feedback for constant pressure.
- OEM machine building thanks to compact size and many output options.
- HVAC, chillers, water supply and treatment, tanks and industrial pipelines.
- Vacuum and compound (−1…+1 bar) measurement.
FAQ
4–20 mA or 0–10 V?
4–20 mA transmits over long distances, rejects noise and detects broken wires (current drops to 0) – best for plants and long cables. 0–10 V or 0.5–4.5 V suit machine controllers over short distances.
Can it measure hot steam pressure?
Maximum media temperature is 85 °C. For steam, install via a siphon so the steam condenses and the sensor stays below 85 °C.
When should the G3/4″ flush diaphragm be used?
For viscous, dirty or scaling media to avoid blocking the pressure port; limited to 16 bar.
