Critical Technical Advantages
-
Elite Accuracy: The PMD75 provides a standard reference accuracy of ±0.05%, with a “Platinum” option reaching ±0.035%. This high precision is vital for custody transfer, high-value mass flow, and inventory management where even small errors result in significant financial impact.
-
Advanced Safety (SIL2/3): Designed according to IEC 61508, the PMD75 is suitable for SIL2 applications (or SIL3 in redundant configurations). Its gas-tight feedthrough adds an extra layer of safety, preventing process media from entering the electronics compartment.
-
Extreme Overload Resistance: The sensor is engineered to withstand static pressures and overloads up to 420 bar (6,300 psi). This ensures the device remains functional and calibrated even after major process upsets or pressure spikes.
-
HistoROM Data Management: The integrated HistoROM module automatically backs up all device parameters. If the electronics module needs replacement, the data is automatically uploaded to the new module, ensuring fast commissioning and zero data loss.
-
Comprehensive Monitoring: The device features continuous function monitoring from the measuring cell to the electronics. This proactive diagnostics approach identifies potential issues before they lead to process downtime.
-
Modular Construction: To minimize life-cycle costs, the sensor, display, and electronics are all independently replaceable. This modularity allows for targeted repairs and upgrades without replacing the entire instrument.
