Model SA-11 Pressure transmitter For sanitary applications

admin-fortek — Thu, 27 Jan 2022 21:53:56 +0000

Description

The pressure transmitter SA-11 is designed especially for the requirements of the food and beverage, pharmaceutical and biotechnology industries.

It is particularly suitable for the special conditions of CIP/SIP cleaning processes, such as chemical stability towards cleaning liquids and high temperatures.

The flush diaphragm is directly welded to the process connection. This guarantees a crevice-free connection of the process connection and the measuring cell so that additional sealings are not required. For dead-space free instrumentation, aseptic process connections (clamp, threaded, VARIVENT ® and NEUMO®) are available.

The SA-11 pressure transmitter is ideally suited to fulfil the stringent demands of sanitary applications and is EHEDG certified. Furthermore, the SA-11 is marked with the 3-A symbol and current version number, as it conforms, based on a third party verification, to the 3-A standard.

Design

A diaphragm made of 1.4435 stainless steel forms a flush separation of the process medium from the pressure measuring instrument.

The process pressure is transmitted hydrostatically from the diaphragm, via an FDA-approved system fill fluid, to a piezo-resistive sensor.

The measuring range covers 0 … 250 mbar up to 0 … 25 bar.

The SA-11 pressure transmitter is powered with a DC voltage of 10 (14) … 30 V. Available electronic output signals are 4 … 20 mA, 0 … 20 mA or 0 … 10 V output.

A stainless steel case with an ingress protection of up to IP 68 offers a secure protection for external cleaning with splashed water and enables its use in high-humidity environments. Through the integrated cooling section, process temperatures of up to 150 °C can be realised.

Applications

Models WU-20, WU-25, WU-26 Ultra high purity transducer

admin-fortek — Thu, 27 Jan 2022 21:53:56 +0000

Description

Reliable
The WU-2x series combines state-of-the-art digital transducer concepts with analogue-like output signals, in order to provide the safest and most accurate pressure measurements necessary for today’s market requirements.

Pressure measurement, based on a true vacuum reference, and electronic measures for interference shielding and signal noise cancellation ensure high-accuracy pressure measurement and excellent long-term stability.

Active temperature compensation reduces the impact of changing temperatures on the transducer, allowing safe operations even in applications with high fluctuations in temperature, e.g. Joule-Thomson effect in the case of gas expansion.

WU-25 (flow through) and WU-26 (surface mount) trans ducers are specifically designed to sustain torsion-applied stresses often incurred during installation. The special design of the thin-film sensor eliminates the risk of sensor failure due to loads at the process connection or welded joints.

Versatile
The WU-2x transducer can be readily installed in indoor or outdoor systems as well as in non-flammable or potentially flammable areas. The hermetically sealed design of the WU-2x prevents the ingress of humidity.

Approvals for non-flammable and potentially flammable environments ensure a high level of product safety. Instruments for temperature class T6 meet the high requirements for low, spontaneous ignition temperature media (phosphine (PH3) and silane (SiH4)).

Compact
With its small footprint the WU-2x is the most compact UHP transducer in the market. Thus it is optimally suited for installation in applications with limited mounting space, and even in existing plants it can be easily retrofitted.

Applications

Gas panels for OEM tools
Semiconductor, flat panel display and photovoltaic industry
Special and bulk-gas supply

Special Features

High-accuracy pressure measurement 0.15 % RSS
Excellent long-term stability
Signal noise shielding and cancellation
Active temperature compensation

Description

The model A-1200 is a pressure sensor without display that can be flexibly programmed via IO-Link and used in a variety of ways − whether for pressure monitoring or as an electronic PNP/NPN switch for process control.

More safety through digital connectivity
Thanks to IO-Link, the model A-1200 pressure sensor is ideal for use in intelligent machines. To ensure precise measurement results over the long term, the pressure sensor has integrated diagnostic functions that monitor the instrument status. In addition, the model A-1200 can be configured externally and conveniently via the digital signal and adjusted at any time.

Robust and durable, even in harsh environments
The robust version of pressure sensor with IO-Link has been designed specifically for extreme environmental conditions. With a welded M12 x 1 connector, this can easily withstand shock loads of up to 1,000 g. It is designed for medium temperatures between -40 … +125 °C and can therefore be integrated into almost any application. Downtime and associated maintenance expenses and costs decrease significantly due to the stable design.

Model S-11 Flush pressure transmitter For viscous and solids-containing media

admin-fortek — Thu, 27 Jan 2022 21:53:55 +0000

Description

Expert for viscous and particle-laden media
The model S-11 pressure transmitter with flush diaphragm has been specifically designed for the measurement of viscous, paste-like, adhesive, crystallising, particle-laden and contaminated media, which would clog the pressure channel of conventional process connections.

Through its optimised design, the flush process connection enables cleanability with the wetted diaphragm integrated into the process. Low-maintenance and trouble-free pressure measurement is thus also guaranteed in critical applications with frequently changing media.

High accuracy, a robust design, high-quality workmanship and the high flexibility of configuration are key features of the model S-11.

Flush process connection
All process connections of the flush pressure transmitter are made of stainless steel and are fully welded and isolate the medium from the pressure measuring instrument via a positive seal. A reliable, dead-space free sealing between the process connection and the measuring medium is thus assured.

For high medium temperatures of up to 150 °C (302 °F), the pressure transmitter is also available with an integrated cooling element.

Specifically for the food and beverage industry, a version with internal system fill fluid in accordance with FDA 21 CFR 178.3750 can be chosen.

Applications

General industrial applications
Food and beverage industry
Filling and packing machinery
Dosing technology
Level measurement
