The Series H3 Explosion-Proof Differential Pressure Switch is a heavy duty,
industrial unit with a unique new design which provides sensitivity to differential
pressures as low as 10 inches of water (254 mm w.c.), yet handles total pressure of
1500 psi (103 bar). Unlike common differential pressure switches that use a pistontype motion transfer, the Series H3 utilizes a rotary motion transfer shaft that prevents
a change in total pressure from causing a set point shift. Unit yields deadbands
approximately 5% of range, with zero set point shift due to variation in working
pressures. Friction is minimized and repeatability increased by allowing range spring to
act directly on diaphragm plate. Rolling diaphragm design maintains constant effective
area to further reduce friction. Diaphragm is allowed to “seat”, allowing application
of full rated pressure, up to 1500 psi (103 bar), on either high or low pressure port,
without damage. Special over-travel feature prevents overtightening of range adjust
screw. Choose optional 316 SS chamber for water and water-based uids or harsher
applications.
FEATURES/BENEFITS
• Rotary motion design prevents set point shifts
• Explosion-proof housing for use in applications where protection of process and
personnel is needed
• Option for use with water and water-based solution makes this a versatile switch
APPLICATIONS
• Water ow proving with an orice plate
• Differential pressure across chiller
• Liquid lter status
