Submersible Pressure Transmitter For Dirty Liquids

PT-500-P30

Durability In Submerged Environments

The PT-500-P30 has a choice of patented removable, reusable or fixed, welded cage, and is designed for use in caustic, turbulent, and dirty liquid.

Description

For caustic, turbulent, and dirty liquids. The PT-500 is the pinnacle of durability with a 316L SS, patented cage, and built-in lightning transience protection.

The PT-500 is designed for reliability in waste water and other dirty or turbulent liquids. Its unique set of features puts it in a class of its own:

  • Built-in lightning transience protection
  • Class 1, Div. 1/Zone 0 certification
  • Choice of patented re-usable cage or fixed, welded cage
  • Field adjustable zero
  • Conduit mounting threads
  • Ingenious and compact vent tube filter cap
  • Single seal for highest safety factor
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.
