MELT PRESSURE TRANSDUCERS
M3 SERIES mV / V output
The M3 series of Gefran, are pressure transducers for
using in High temperature environment.
The main characteristic of this series is the capability to
read temperature of the media up to 400°C.
The constructive principle is based on the hydraulic trasmission of the pressure.
The fluid-filled system assures the temperature stability.
The phisical measure is transformed in a electrical measure by means the strain-gauge technology.
MAIN FEATURES
• Pressure ranges from:
0-35 to 0-2000 bar / 0-500 to 0-30000 psi
• Accuracy: <±0.25% FSO (H); <±0.5% FSO (M)
• Fluid-filled system for temperature stability
• Mercury filling volume:
M30 (30mm3), M31-M32-M33 (40mm3)
• 1/2-20UNF, M18x1.5 standard threads; other types available on request
• Standard diaphragm is 15-5 PH stainless steel with
GTP+ coating
• 17-7 PH corrugated diaphragm with GTP+ coating for
ranges below 100bar-1500psi
GTP+ (advanced protection)
Coating with high resistance against corrosion, abrasion
and high temperature
