PXT-K Series

The PXT-K Series pressure transmitters are state-of-the-art instruments providing 4-20 mA output. Each Piezoresistive Pressure Transmitter contains a transducer comprised of a piezoresistive silicon chip mounted on a glass-metal feed-through header welded into a stainless steel housing and filled with silicone oil.

The very thin laser-welded stainless steel isolation diaphragm completes the front side. Media pressure is transferred from the stainless steel isolation-diaphragm via the oil inside the cell to the silicon measuring chip.

This construction, combined with the advanced internal signal conditioning circuitry, results in a rugged instrument with extremely small temperature error and class-leading EMI/RFI resistance. The enclosure and all wetted parts are made of 316L stainless steel to comply with NACE MR0175.

PXT-K Series Pressure Transmitters can be used in applications such as compressors, engines, process control, liquid level and pumps.

TC / RTD / RTDT

Enovation Controls offers a variety of highly reliable thermocouple and RTD (Resistance Temperature Detector) assemblies and 4-20 mA DC output RTD transmitters. Their innovative features include a 304 stainless steel thermowell that provides protection to the spring-loaded element.

The cast aluminum connecting head meets NEMA 4 requirements and includes an RTD transmitter or a thermocouple/ RTD terminal block mounted on ceramic Steatite and rated NEC Class 2.

The complete assemblies are offered in 2-1/2, 4-1/2 or 7-1/2 in. (63, 114 or 191 mm) thermowell insertion lengths.

Thermocouples

The thermocouples are encased in a 1/4 inch diameter 316 stainless steel tubing sheath with stainless steel Bell Spring for strain relief. The initial offerings are K type thermocouples with 6-inch and 10-inch long 1/4- inch diameter probes. The thermocouples are shipped straight but can be bent with standard tubing benders anywhere along its length to a 90° angle to minimize clearance required and help prevent damage due to personnel working on the unit.

The thermocouple is tip sensitive to minimize ambient temperature influence and should be inserted between 25% and 75% of the piping inside diameter or enough to minimize any skin temperature affect on the tip of the probe when installed in vessels.

Features include:

   ·  Stainless steel transition sealing gland with a stainless steel Bell Spring for strain relief
   ·  Standard bore through stainless steel compression fitting for securing the thermocouple in the thermowell at the appropriate depth
   ·  Can be inserted directly into a low-pressure application process through a standard 1/4-inch stainless steel bore through tubing compression fitting
   ·  Enables a run from the point of measurement to the nearest conduit entry, junction box or all the way to the panel housing the readout and monitoring instrument. Can also be installed in a cable tray.
   ·  The thermowell assembly comes with a stainless steel bore through compression fitting and ferrule saving installation time and money

Magnetic Pickups

A magnetic pickup is an AC generator. It is normally installed into the flywheel housing of an internal combustion engine, so that the starter ring gear acts upon it to generate a voltage pulse each time a gear tooth passes the end of the sensor.
