Advantages:
The PR3913 Valve-Mountable pressure transmitter has been designed to meet the requirements of the sub-sea oil industry and is configured to mount directly to the industry standard control valve flange arrangement.
The unique Silicon-on-Sapphire sensor technology provides outstanding performance and gives excellent stability over a wide temperature range. The advanced sensor design consists of a piezoresistive silicon strain gauge circuit, which is epitaxially grown onto the surface of a sapphire diaphragm to form a single crystalline structure. The sapphire sensor element is then molecularly bonded to a Titanium alloy sub-diaphragm. This enables the sensor to endure higher over- pressures and provides superb corrosion resistance. The completed sensor exhibits virtually no hysteresis and excellent long-term stability. With outstanding insulation properties, the sapphire substrate protects the strain gauge circuit from electromagnetic pulse radiation and allows the sensor to operate over a very wide temperature range without loss of performance.
Applications:
Sub-sea oil industry, mount directly to the industry standard control valve flange arrangement (“Christmas tree”).
