OIL FILLED MELT PRESSURE TRANSMITTERS
WE SERIES Output 4...20mA
The WE series of Gefran, are pressure transmitters for
using in High temperature environment.
The main characteristic of this series is the capability to
read temperature of the media up to 315°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 0-1000 bar / 0-500 to 0-15000 psi
• Accuracy: < ±0.25% FSO (H); < ±0.5% FSO (M)
•Fluid-filled system for temperature stability
•Oil filling meets FDA requirements CFR 178.3620 and
CFR 172.878
•Oil filling volume:
WE0 (30mm3); WE1, WE2, WE3 (40mm3)
•1/2-20UNF, M18x1.5 standard threads; other types avai-
lable on request
• Other diaphragms available on request
• Autozero function on board / external option
• Drift Autocompensation function (SP version)
• 17-7 PH corrugated diaphragm with GTP+ coating for
ranges below 100 bar-1500 psi
GTP+ (advanced protection)
Coating with high resistance against corrosion, abrasion
and high temperature
AUTOZERO FUNCTION
All signal variations in the absence of pressure can be eliminated by using the Autozero function.
This function is activated by closing a magnetic contact
located on the transmitter housing.
The procedure is permitted only with pressure at zero.
AUTOCOMPENSATES INFLUENCE OF MELT
TEMPERATURE
Thanks to internal self-compensation, the WSP series
transmitter cancels the effect of pressure signal variation
caused by variation of Melt temperature.
This reduces at the minimum the read error caused by
heating of the filling fluid (typical of all sensors built with
“filled” technology).
