The Setra 230 pressure tranducer is a high output, low differential pressure transducer designed for wet-to-wet differential pressure measurements of liquids or gases. A fast-response capacitance sensor and signal conditioned electronic circuitry provide a highly accurate, linear analog output proportional to pressure. Both unidirectional and bidirectional pressure ranges are available for applications with line pressure up to 250 psig.
A unique isolation system transmits the motion of the differential pressure sensing diaphragm from the high line pressure environment (e.g. corrosive liquids) to the dry (air) enclosure where it moves one of a pair of capacitance plates proportionally to the diaphragm movement. This system responds to pressure changes approximately 20 times faster than conventional fluid-filled transducers. The electronic circuit linearizes output vs. pressure and compensates for thermal effects of the sensor.
The 230 has a NEMA 4/IP65 rated package to withstand environmental effects.
The Model 230 can be supplied with an optional 3-Valve manifold assembly for ease of installation and maintenance. The 3-Valve Manifold is a machined brass body requiring no internal pipe connections, thereby eliminating the risk of internal leaks. The manifold’s rugged, yet compact, construction requires minimum space for installation and use. The 230 bleed ports allow for total elimination of air in the line and pressure cavities. If the Model 230 is ordered with the 3-Valve Manifold, the system is shipped completely assembled and ready for wall or pipe mounting. (Order as Pressure Fitting Code 3V.)
Applications for the Setra Model 230 Pressure Transducer:
Energy management systems
Process control systems
Flow measurement of various gases or liquids
Liquid level measurement of pressurized vessels
