Description

The PR18-A060 pressure transducer utilizes a high-stability sensing element, typically a piezoresistive or strain-gauge based cell, to convert applied pressure into a precise electrical signal. Its 4-20mA current-loop output provides inherent noise immunity, making it suitable for installations with long cable runs in electrically noisy industrial settings.

Engineered for durability, the transducer’s housing and internal seals are designed to withstand the mechanical stresses and fluid media common in hydraulic and pneumatic systems. The G1/4″ threaded port ensures a secure, standardized connection for integration into existing piping or manifold setups.

Key Features

  • Industrial-Grade 4-20mA Output: Provides robust, noise-resistant signal transmission over extended distances, compatible with standard PLC analog input modules.
  • Medium-Pressure Range: Accurately measures pressures from 0 up to 6 MPa (approximately 870 psi), suitable for a wide array of industrial fluid power applications.
  • Standardized G1/4" Thread: Ensures easy, leak-proof installation and compatibility with common hydraulic and pneumatic fittings.
  • High Reliability Construction: Built with a durable housing and sealed electronics for consistent performance in demanding environments.
  • Two-Wire Loop-Powered Design: Simplifies wiring and installation, requiring only a DC power supply in series with the current loop.
  • Optimized Performance-to-Cost Ratio: Delivers high accuracy and stability for industrial monitoring and control applications.

Applications

  • Hydraulic system pressure monitoring and control in industrial machinery.
  • Pneumatic line pressure regulation and safety cutoff in automation cells.
  • Process control and pump monitoring in water treatment and fluid handling systems.
  • Compressed air system efficiency monitoring and leak detection.
  • Pressure feedback in test stands and mechanical system performance validation.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the required power supply for this 4-20mA pressure transducer?

The PR18-A060 operates on a standard two-wire 4-20mA current loop. It requires an external DC power supply, typically between 12-24V, connected in series with the loop. The transducer regulates the current draw between 4mA (at zero pressure) and 20mA (at full scale) based on the measured pressure.

How do I interface the 4-20mA output with a microcontroller like an Arduino?

To read the 4-20mA signal with a microcontroller, you need a precision shunt resistor (e.g., 250Ω) to convert the current to a voltage (1-5V). Connect the resistor across the transducer's output wires in series with the power supply. Then, measure the voltage drop across the resistor using an analog-to-digital converter (ADC) pin on your Arduino or PLC.

Is the G1/4" thread compatible with NPT fittings?

G1/4" (BSPP) and 1/4" NPT threads are not directly compatible due to differing thread forms (parallel vs. tapered) and pitch. For a proper seal, you must use an adapter fitting designed to convert between G1/4" and NPT. Direct connection without an adapter may result in leaks or thread damage.

What media is this pressure transducer suitable for measuring?

This transducer is designed for use with non-corrosive gases and liquids such as air, water, and hydraulic oils. The sensing diaphragm and seals are typically stainless steel and Viton or NBR. For aggressive media (e.g., strong acids, solvents), confirm material compatibility with the manufacturer prior to installation.
