The OPTIBAR PM 5060 is a pressure transmitter for process pressure and level measurement in hygienic and non-hygienic applications with gases, liquids and steam. It can be used in open tanks and – as dual version for electronic differential pressure measurement – also in closed vessels. The pressure device features a piezoresistive or a strain gauge metallic diaphragm. Depending on the measuring cell, the pressure transmitter can operate over a wide process pressure range from 100 mbar / 1.45 psi up to 1000 bar / 14500 psi.
The OPTIBAR PM 5060 can be provided with or without standard silicon oil fill fluid as well as FDA approved oils for hygienic applications. The flush process connections allow for hygienic and crevice-free installation. The pressure device can be used for operating temperatures up to +105°C / +221°F, special versions even allow for up to +200°C / +392°F without separate diaphragm seals.
Highlights:
OPTIBAR DS series diaphragm seals
Corrosive or high temperature processes require diaphragm seal systems of the OPTIBAR DS series. Newest filling and laser welding technologies guarantee best of class performance under vacuum conditions and at elevated process temperatures up to 400°C.
Remote option
The remote sensor option provides several advantages for a pressure measurement installation. Confined spaces, which do not allow for convenient setup or control of the transmitter, benefit from a remote transmitter mounting up to 50 m away from the sensor unit. Additionally, the sensor unit is rated IP68 (25 bar), allowing for complete submersion under water for an infinite time – gauge pressure sensors then use the internal venting capillary for ambient pressure reference.
Modularity
- Over 300 different process connections available
- Wetted materials: 316L, Duplex (saltwater), Hastelloy® C-276 or C-22
- 7 different housings (plastic, stainless steel, epoxy-coated aluminium; one chamber, two chamber)
- 4 different configuration options (DTM DDs, display, USB)
Food approvals
KROHNE OPTIBAR pressure instrumentation presents the complete line of sanitary designs and materials which meet the stringent requirements of hygienic applications. This means a huge advantage for e.g. food and beverage companies who align their production processes with a focus on product safety and production reliability.
