PTXPRESS
Industrial Pressure Sensors
The PTXPRESS Industrial Pressure sensors have been
designed for use with aggressive pressure media found
in many industrial and process applications.
The 316L fully welded stainless steel and Hastelloy
pressure module ensures excellent media compatibility
without compromising performance.
Integral electronics provide a two-wire 4 to 20 mA
output proportional to applied pressure. Integral noninteractive zero and span controls ensure system
interchangeability and ease of calibration. The
PTXPRESS incorporates developments from aerospace
applications and volume manufacturing to achieve high
performance with competitive pricing. Ex-stock delivery
is provided by holding a stock of compensated and
calibrated sensors in DIN pressure ranges.
These sensors feature compact, rugged design with
eld proven electronics to ensure long term reliable
measurement and low cost of ownership.

• Gauge and barometric references
• 4 to 20 mA output
• 0.15% typical accuracy
• Intrinsically safe, CE marked
• Locally stocked for fast delivery
