/24-7PressRelease/ - MT. OLIVE, NJ, July 20, 2007 - These media-isolated, stainless steel units can perform in a variety of industrial applications and hold the best price-to-performance ratio in the industry. Constructed of 316L SS wetted materials, both low-pressure transmitters are compatible with a wide range of liquids and gases.
The AST44LP carries an UL/cUL 913 (CSA 157) approval and has been rated for Class 1 Division 1 Groups C & D when installed with an approved barrier. This high-strength unit measures low-pressure ranges from 0-5 to 0-15 PSI and is intended for intrinsically safe areas.
While the AST43LP also measures low-pressure ranges from 0-5 to 0-15 PSI, it is recommended for use in hazardous locations. It is UL/cUL 1604 (CSA 213) Class 1 Division 2 Groups A, B, C & D listed.
Common applications for both pressure transmitters include: Industrial OEM Equipment, Water Management, Hydraulic Systems, Control Panels, HVAC/R Equipment, Gas Compression & Storage, Vapor Recovery and External Tank Leveling.
The standard fittings available for both products include 1/4" NPT Male and 7/16"-20 UNF Male. To simplify system integration for existing application and provide flexibility for new system designs, the AST43LP and AST44LP can be packaged with a variety of electrical options. Both units offer assorted cable lengths with conduit fittings or a Hirschmann DIN 43650A. The AST44LP is also equipped to provide alternative options such as: standard cable, mini DIN 43650, Bendix or Packard Metripack 150 3-pin Connection.
