Submersible Pressure Transducer For Clean Liquids

PT-500-P1

The Only One In It's Class

The PT- 500-P1 has a nose cone fitting and is designed for use in clean liquids.

Description

Our submersible pressure transmitters are the only ones on the market with built-in lightning transience protection, Class 1, Div. 1 certification, and a field-adjustable zero.

Our submersible pressure transducers are not only built to very high standards of durability and quality, they're chuck full of features you won't find anywhere else:

  • Built-in lightning transience protection
  • Single seal for highest safety protection factor
  • Field adjustable zero
  • Conduit mounting threads
  • Ingenious and compact vent tube filter cap
  • and more
Calibration Services

NIST Certificates and Re-Calibration

When you buy a PT-500 submersible pressure transducer, or any of our pressure sensors, request a NIST certificate for accuracy up to 0.1% full scale. We can do the same on your regular factory re-calibration, which we recommend doing annually.

Have your submersible pressure transducer re-calibrated at our factory on a regular basis. This will ensure accurate and reliability performance for years.
