Description
The PXT Series pressure transmitter is a state-ofthe-art instruments providing 4 to 20 mA outputs. It features a precision micro-machined
silicon diaphragm with fully welded stainless steel pressure port for greater accuracy, stability and a wide range of compatibility.
Silicon technology is used to provide a miniature micro-machined diaphragm which is electrostatically bonded to a glass substrate and
is then stitch-bonded within a glass to metal seal assembly to provide exceptional thermal and stress isolation. This technology assures you of high accuracy and stability over a wide range of
operating conditions. The enclosure is made of 316 stainless steel and all wetted parts are 316L stainless steel or HASTELLOY C276.
Applications
The PXT can be used in applications such as Compressors, Engines, Process Control, Liquid Level and Pumps.
