Process automation sensors

Baumer’s range of PFMH hygienic pressure transmitters have been put to the test proving their reliability and performing over the long term. They were pitted against other manufacturers’ equivalent products to compare the full-scale accuracy (non-linearity, hysteresis, non-repeatability, zero-point and span) figures. The results indicated that the Baumer sensor retained its accuracy much better across the whole temperature range whereas others were almost +/- 3% accurate at only 50ºC.

This could have a huge impact when using pressure temperatures for hydrostatic level applications on outdoor tank installations, with the likelihood of varying ambient temperatures. This could also have a detrimental effect on the efficiency of the system or machine, resulting in higher running costs and shorter life-span of components. It could also have a consequential effect on product consistency, especially for food and beverage applications.

Ideal for pressure and continuous level measurement applications, Baumer’s PFMH are resistant to all CIP (Clean-In-Place) cleaning media and are SIP (Steam-In-Place) capable to 150ºC Max, >60 min, with versions also available for high media temperatures up to 200ºC.
