Sensitive measurement technology in an innovative housing.  

Demands for increased quality in nearly every area of industry have subjected pressure gauges to sophisticated demands as well. These include clean room monitoring and the ability to monitor sterile environments in the packaging machines used in products for such industries as foods and pharmaceuticals. The new P 26 differential pressure transducer from halstrup-walcher has been specially designed to meet these demands.

The P 26 is a differential pressure transducer that meets these particularly sophisticated demands. Measurement ranges between 100 Pa and 100 kPa are freely scalable from 10 to 100%, and provide the option of switching to other units of measurement like mmH2O, mmHg, etc. Cyclical self-calibration of the zero point ensures a high level of measurement stability. Two cutoff points are available that can be set freely along the entire measurement range; these allow the user to connect visual or audible alarms that would be triggered any time values fall above or below limits. All measurement values can be clearly read on an optional graphic LCD. The instrument can, if necessary, communicate with a master control unit via an RS 232 interface and can be mounted either on a wall or on top-hat rails.

A hand-held unit can be used as a configurator for the one-time calibration when using more than one of the affordable P 26 pressure transducer without a display.
