Krohne OPTIBAR PC 1010 compact gauge pressure transmitter

The Krohne OPTIBAR PC 1010 is an ultra-compact gauge pressure transmitter with a ceramic diaphragm, offering increased resistance to pressure surges, water hammer, abrasion and corrosion compared to metallic diaphragms. This makes the product suitable for water applications in which the jerky start-up of pumps can severely damage the stainless-steel measuring cell of conventional pressure transmitters.

For pump control in manholes prone to flooding, the pressure transmitter is available as an IP68 rated version designed to be waterproof. Due to its robust design, the pressure transmitter is suitable for long-term stable pressure and level measurement in many other industries as well as in factory automation. It is designed for simple applications with gases, vapours and liquids up to 40 bar and temperatures up to 125°C.

The dry capacitive measuring cell of the pressure transmitter works without filling oil, so leakage of filling oil into the process is not possible. The product is available with both a recessed and a front-flush ceramic diaphragm. The pressure transmitter is also available in an intrinsically safe version with ATEX/IECEx approval for use in Zone 0.
