Emerson Paine 310-38-0050 pressure and temperature transducer

Emerson has introduced the Paine 310-38-0050 Series transducer to provide increased reliability when making pressure and temperature measurements in downhole oil and gas drilling and production operations. The transducer has an ultrasmall footprint with an outside diameter of just 9.4 mm to save critical downhole tool space.

Downhole drilling operations must measure pressure, temperature and other variables to optimise the drilling process and ensure safety. These measurements are typically made with a variety of downhole tools, either mounted just above the drill bit to provide continuous measurement while drilling or as separate tools inserted into the drill hole on a periodic basis. Once drilling is complete and production begins, these measurements are needed to optimise throughput, maximise uptime and ensure safety.

In all of these applications, space is at a premium and high reliability is required. The environment is extremely harsh with high temperatures and pressures, corrosive drilling fluids and high vibration. Rugged components with small form factors are required to support smaller tool sizes, along with increased pressures and temperatures as holes become deeper.

The Paine 310-38-0050 transducer provides both temperature and pressure measurements in the smallest and most rugged form factor possible. It supports measurements up to 25 kpsi (1723 bar) and temperature up to 218°C to cover the wide range of downhole operating environments.
