Pressure sensors and level measurement

Pressure Transmitters from VEGA: our pedigree is borne from the demanding requirements of tens of thousands of hydrostatic pressure based, level installations. In this application linearity and accuracy has to perform throughout the measuring range and a sensors’ performance is constantly monitored against contents and level readings. VEGABAR pressure transmitters also have a range of approvals and designs for chemical, marine, food and pharmaceuticals available.

VEGABAR sensors offer high precision, reliability and offer an easy solution to measurements. SMART electronics and Fieldbus versions are available.

• VEGA pressure transmitters have a very high overload resistance, up to 200 times, self-monitoring cells and 0.1% accuracy as standard. There are three main types of measurement cell with advantages for different pressure applications. The measurement cell is the heart of any transmitter.
• CERTEC CELL – a ceramic cell for excellent, chemical and abrasion resistance and high overload up to 200 times!
• METEC CELL – a hastelloy and stainless, self temperature compensating cell patented by VEGA for hygienic and high temperatures up to 250 degC with no additional chemical seal. Overload up to 200 times too!
• DMS CELL – a dry metal diaphragm, vibration and shock resistant design for pressure ranges up to 600 bar
• VEGA offer pressure transmitters for top, bottom and side mounting, hygienic, aseptic, 3A, EHEDG and FDA approved designs and materials.

Chemical, Pharmaceutical, Oil and Gas, Food, Dairy, Beverage, Paper, Automotive, Aggregates, Steel, Water and Waste water and Marine… and many others - just ask us for details.

Almost all pressure and vacuum applications. They can mount in any orientation with a wide range of process fittings to get connected to your process. High temperature, high resistance, gauge and absolute transmitters are available, across all ranges complimented with special ranges of (chemical) seals, fittings and materials.

VEGABAR sensors offer high precision, reliability and an easy solution to measurements. SMART electronics and digital Profibus and Foundation Fieldbus versions are available.

• Integral temperature compensation, log, display and output
• Plug in programmer for set-up, storage
• Indication, datalogging and an in-head trend display
• Approved hygienic fittings and seals to give flush surfaces for easy cleaning
• Self Monitoring measuring cell for high integrity
• New industry-leading technology and modularity

The pressure applied minutely deflects a diaphragm (as little as 10 microns) and this has to be highly stable to pressure and temperature shocks too (the expansion of metal under temperature can be as much as the deflection of the diaphragm!) This deflection is then converted to an output signal. To measure very low pressures accurately and linearly with no inaccuracies need careful designing, not all sensors do this as well as VEGABAR.
