Built For Reliability In Tough Applications

Ideal For Extreme Vibration

In the world of heavy industry,
there’s a lot of big machines that
can produce powerful vibrations.
Big pumps, drilling rigs, large
engines, you name it! The PT­400 is built for durability in these
tough applications.

To ensure maximum reliability, we
zero-in on the details - like using
the best steel and the strongest
laser welds. We carefully tie
all wires down using a variety
of methods. All soldering is
done by IPC J-STD-001 certied
technicians. We even ll the entire
housing with industrial potting to
dampen vibrations.

Can Take The Shock

That tough build is good for more
than just vibration. The PT-400
handles shock well, too. That’s
important in environments where
things like water hammer or plain
and simple rough handling are
commonplace.

Global Hazardous Area

Certications

The PT-400 is certied compliant
with Class 1, Zone 0 requirements
in North America, ATEX in
Europe, and IECEx for just about
anywhere else. So it’s ideal for
markets like the Oil & Gas or
Water & Wastewater industries
that deal with ammable gases.

2 Week Lead Time For

Congured Models

We stock a variety of commonly congured PT-400 models that ship as you order. But if these won’t do and you
need a unique version, we’ll build it quick - typically in just 2 weeks.

The PT-400 is perfect for a variety of applications - anywhere durability is a concern. It’s ideally suited for the
following:

• Fracking

• Acidizing

• Cementing

• Wellhead pressure

• Pump monitoring

• Wastewater treatement

• Gas compressors

• Engine compression

• Gas pressure chambers

• Tank level

• Chemical processing

ARTICLE: When To Use Heavy Duty Pressure Transducers

Not sure if you need the robust design of the PT-400? It’s a valid concern. Perhaps this

article will help. Scan the QR code to the right to read about the dierence between light

duy and heavy duty pressure transducers, and when to use each.
