Pressure transmitters
Type MBS 3200 and MBS 3250
For heavy duty applications
The compact high temperature pressure
transmitter MBS 3200 is designed for use in
hydraulic and almost all industrial applications,
and oers a reliable pressure measurement,
even under harsh environmental conditions.
MBS 3250 with integrated pulse-snubber is
designed for use in hydraulic applications with
severe medium inuences like cavitation, liquid
hammer or pressure peaks and oers a reliable
pressure measurement, even under harsh
environmental conditions.
The exible pressure transmitter programme
covers dierent output signals, absolute or
gauge (relative) versions, measuring ranges
from 0 – 1 to 0 – 600 bar and a wide range of
pressure and electrical connections.
A robust design, an excellent vibration stability
and a high degree of EMC / EMI protection
equip the pressure transmitter to meet the
most stringent industrial requirements.

Applications
Applications (MBS 3250)
Cavitation, liquid hammer and pressure peaks may occur in hydraulic systems with changes in ow velocity, e.g. fast
closing of a valve or pump starts and stops.
The problem may occur on the inlet and outlet side, even at rather low operating pressures.
Media conditions (MBS 3250)
Clogging of the nozzle may occur in liquids containing particles. Mounting the transmitter in an upright position
minimizes the risk of clogging, because the ow in the nozzle is limited to the start-up period until the dead volume
behind the nozzle orice is lled.
The media viscosity has only little eect on the response time. Even at a viscosities up to 100 cSt, the response time
will not exceed 4 ms.
