🏭 Specialized Applications
Corrosive Chemical Processing: Measures differential pressure across reactors, distillation columns, and filtration systems handling sulfuric acid, hydrochloric acid, and caustic solutions where NACE-certified 316L stainless steel wetted parts prevent material degradation and ensure 10+ year service life in aggressive environments.
High-Temperature Steam Systems: Monitors steam flow and pressure drop in boilers, superheaters, and turbine inlet lines operating at 200-400°C where remote seals isolate transmitter electronics from extreme temperatures, extending MTBF to 150,000+ hours versus direct-mounted transmitters failing in 2-3 years.
Viscous & Slurry Applications: Tracks level and flow in storage tanks, crystallizers, and thickeners containing heavy oils, polymers, and mineral slurries where remote seals with extended diaphragms prevent impulse line plugging that causes 60% of measurement failures in conventional DP systems.
Pharmaceutical Clean-in-Place (CIP): Provides sanitary pressure measurement in bioreactors, fermenters, and sterile filtration systems with flush-mounted diaphragms meeting FDA 21 CFR Part 11 and EHEDG guidelines for cleanability, preventing bacterial contamination in aseptic processing.
⚙️ Engineering Advantages
NACE Compliance for Sour Service: MR0175/ISO 15156 certification enables deployment in H₂S-containing environments (oil & gas production, refining) where sulfide stress cracking destroys non-compliant materials within months, ensuring safe operation in sour gas wells and crude processing units.
ATEX Intrinsic Safety: Ex ia IIC T6 approval for Zone 0/1 hazardous areas eliminates need for explosion-proof enclosures costing $2K-5K per installation, enabling direct mounting in classified locations with simple barrier installation in safe area marshalling cabinets.
Remote Seal Flexibility: Capillary lengths from 1-30 meters allow transmitter placement in accessible locations while diaphragm seals contact process media, reducing maintenance costs by 50% through elimination of scaffolding, hot work permits, and confined space entry for calibration and service.
9-Point Calibration Certificate: EN 10204-3.1 inspection certificate with NIST-traceable calibration data across full span ensures compliance with ISO 9001 quality systems, FDA validation requirements, and custody transfer accuracy standards in regulated industries.
