Pressure Measurement & Control


Rugged pressure transmitter

September 2005 Pressure Measurement & Control

Solartron Mobrey's 9000 series pressure transmitter, is designed to perform in the arduous conditions of today's industrial measurement applications. Using temperature compensated, surface mount electronics and a ceramic capacitive sensor, the 9000 series industrial pressure transmitter provides an accuracy of better than ±0,1% of calibrated span and excellent long-term stability. One field replaceable PCB covers the entire product range and provides simple calibration over the 10:1 rangeability limits.

Sold and serviced in South Africa by Dupleix Liquid Meters (DLM) and available with a wide variety of process connection materials and configurations, the series 9000 is said to offer wider application versatility than many of its higher priced rivals. All hygienic models carry the 3A hygienic approval.

At the heart of the 9000 is the ceramic capacitive sensor (CCS). This ensures low hysteresis, high repeatability and high overrange capabilities. The CCS replaces the traditional metallic diaphragm and sensor assembly and provides outstanding resistance to chemical attack.

Features include: 4-20 mA output, loop powered, flush mounted ceramic sensor, 10:1 turn-down, high over range capability, ±0,1% accuracy; good long-term stability; wide range of process connections; non-interactive zero and span adjustment and a wide variety of process connection materials. Applications include steam coolant, liquid, gas, brewing processes, dairy products, viscous and dirty liquids, PVF mills, superheaters and furnaces. The instrument is simple to install, offers good long-term accuracy with increased application flexibility, and its ceramic sensor makes it immune to attack from process and CIP routines.
