GE Introduces Sludge Pressure Transmitter
- New LPX 7380-SE Monitors Discharge Pressure and
Improves Cost Of Ownership -
New Fairfield, CT - June 8, 2004 - GE Infrastructure Sensing, a leading provider of precision pressure sensors and related test/calibration instruments, announced today the availability of the LPX 7380-SE flush diaphragm sludge pressure transmitter, designed for use in sludge pumping lines to monitor discharge pressure.
The benefits of the LPX 7380 include exceptionally long life (due to the thick abrasion-resistant diaphragm), ease of installation and replacement and the ability to monitor pump wear thanks to the fast response time of the pressure transmitter (10ms); improved reliability – all contributing to lower cost-of-ownership.
The LPX 7380 is available in various full-scale ranges from 20 inH2O to 500 psi and can be ranged 4:1and in a variety of configurations including PMC Fitting, Flange-mounting, Triclamp Fitting, and Saddle-mount. The LPX 7380-SE installed in a Pipe Saddle with integral shutoff valve allows for wet installation where the process system cannot be entirely isolated or shut down.
"GE is pleased to be introducing this new product for our customers in the process and industrial markets", stated Jan Matthews, Pressure Sensors Product Manager for GE Infrastructure Sensing. "The LPX 7380 is designed to reduce maintenance, improve reliability, and offers an exceptional diagnostic tool, all at a competitive price".
The flush diaphragm is constructed of abrasion-resistant Inconel X750 and is 5 times thicker than conventional devices, resulting in excellent life and improved cost of ownership. The LPX 7380 may be used in hot applications in temperature above 400°F where remote diaphragm seals are normally required, resulting in lower acquisition and maintenance costs and improved thermal accuracy.
Standard accuracy is ±0.5%FS with ±0.25%FS available. Variable damping from 10ms to 2 seconds is accessed via a potentiometer. Both current and voltage output devices are available.
