GE Introduces New High
Performance Smart Remote-Rangeable Pressure Sensor
- The PTX/PMP 6000 Series is Highly Reliable, Accurate and Cost-effective
-
New Fairfield, CT - Tuesday,
March 30, 2004 - GE Infrastructure Sensing, a leading provider of
precision pressure sensors and related test/calibration instruments,
announced today a new series of rugged industrial pressure transmitters
that combines modular design with the latest advances in microprocessor
based error correction technology. The new PTX/PMP 6000 Series provides
a highly reliable, cost-effective, accurate industrial pressure
transducer.
Designed for automotive and aircraft testing, factory automation
and general industrial applications, the new PTX/PMP 6000 has a
range up to 1000 psi for in gauge or absolute pressure. Operating
temperature range is -40° to 185°F. Accuracy is ±0.2%URL over the
entire operating temperature range with ±0.06%URL as an option.
Long-term stability is better than ±0.1%FS per year. The device
may be remotely ranged 4:1 with 100% zero elevation and suppression.
"This new product introduction further expands the comprehensive
product portfolio with an even wider choice of specifications and
price/performance levels," said Robert Knowles, business leader
at GE Druck. "Customers with high performance applications, such
as measurement of oil and fuel to turbo inlet and exhaust pressures,
will realize the performance and accuracy of all measurement parameters
that will reduce test stand down time and represent lower cost of
ownership."
Ranges from 2.5 to 1000 psi are available in gauge or absolute pressure
with 2-wire, 4-20mA output or 3-wire, 1-5 Vdc output. The PTX/PMP
6000 is CE Marked.
The PTX/PMP 6000 is based on the widely proven GE Druck sensor technology
yielding inherently accurate and reliable pressure measurements,
via field-proven piezoresistive silicon technology and advanced
microprocessor compensation resulting in a high-performance, low-cost
family of products
GE Druck was acquired by General Electric in 2002, and is now a
part of GE Infrastructure's sensing business.
