Submersible Level Sensors for Highly Corrosive and Aggressive Media

June 9, 2006

Sensortechnics’ new submersible pressure transmitter series KTU3000CS offers high precision hydrostatic level measurement for pressure ranges from 10 feet water column (5 psi) Full Scale. The housing material is manufactured from a highly chemical resistant PPS plastic (Polyphenylensulfide). The transmitters consist of highly accurate and long-term stable pressure sensor elements based on proven ceramic technology with excellent media compatibility.

All KTU3000CS level probes are temperature compensated and supply a 4...20 mA output signal. A special cable with an integrated vent tube allows a true reference pressure to the sensor element, which eliminates errors due to barometric pressure changes. These level sensors can be widely customized to meet specific customer requirements. All KTU3000CS transmitters are EMC compliant and CE-marked.

Important features of the new KTU3000CS series are:

Ø Level ranges from 10 feet water column (5 psi) Full Scale

Ø Chemically resistant PPS plastic housing

Ø Excellent media compatibility

Ø Compensated for temperature and air pressure fluctuations

Ø Custom versions available

These new submersible level transmitters are ideally suited for level control of salty waters and all chemical and industrial level measurements where excellent resistance to highly corrosive and aggressive media is critical.
