Standard vented cable is polyurethane. Flouropolymer
TM
cable is available on the PTX/PDCR 1280 Series Sensors.
The PTX/PDCR 1230 Series sensors are ideal for use in
applications where smaller size is an advantage, such as
municipal water supply wells, leachate wells, irrigation
projects, etc. The titanium construction also makes the
devices suitable for seawater measurement applications.
An advanced micromachined silicon piezoresistive
pressure sensor provides excellent performance and
resistance to shock and vibration. A tough, polyurethane
cable is molded to the transducer body, providing a high
integrity, waterproof assembly. The cable is strengthened
with Kevlar
®
so that there is no measurable elongation
when the cable is lowered into deep wells.
The fully isolated, titanium design ensures long term
reliable measurements in water and wastewater
management, industrial, process and marine
applications.

The PTX/PDCR 1230 Series submersible/depth pressure
transducers are specifically designed for depth/level
measurements in the groundwater, well water, canals,
rivers, and other similar applications. The titanium
construction ensures excellent life in the most hostile
environments, including corrosive and hazardous
chemical applications, as well as environments where
icon bacteria may be present. Druck backs its titanium
construction with a five year corrosion warranty.
