重要な技術的利点
-
Extreme Temperature Versatility: Utilizing a variety of fill fluids and diaphragm seal designs, the PMP55 can handle process temperatures from cryogenic levels (-70°C) up to intense heat (+400°C). This protects the transmitter electronics from thermal damage while maintaining measurement integrity.
-
Innovative TempC Membrane: The PMP55 can be equipped with the patented TempC Membrane. This technology drastically minimizes measurement errors caused by ambient and process temperature fluctuations, offering much faster recovery times and higher accuracy compared to conventional diaphragms.
-
High-Pressure Durability: Designed for heavy-duty service, the PMP55 supports measuring ranges up to 400 bar (6,000 psi). The metallic diaphragm provides the necessary mechanical strength to withstand high-pressure spikes and challenging process cycles.
-
Broad Material Compatibility: To handle aggressive or corrosive media, the diaphragm seals are available in a large variety of materials beyond standard 316L stainless steel, including Alloy C276, Tantalum, and Monel.
-
Safety and System Integrity: The device is certified to SIL2 (IEC 61508 / IEC 61511), ensuring it meets the rigorous standards required for safety instrumented systems. It also carries a wide range of international explosion protection and hygienic approvals.
-
Modular and User-Friendly: The transmitter follows a modular concept, allowing for the easy exchange of the display or electronics module. Commissioning is simplified through menu-guided operation on the local display or via digital protocols like HART, PROFIBUS PA, and FOUNDATION Fieldbus.
