Source: KrohneKrohne, a manufacturer and supplier of industrial process instruments, has introduced its Optibar PM 3050, which is a compact pressure transmitter for pressure and level applications, designed for use in the food and beverage, water and wastewater, iron and steel, OEM/automation and other process industries.

Applications for the Optibar PM 3050 include absolute and gauge pressure measurement of gases, vapors and liquids, hydrostatic level measurement in open tanks, pressure monitoring in pipelines, dry-run protection of pumps or compressor monitoring.

Optibar PM 3050 is intended for applications that require a device between Krohne’s ultra compact pressure transmitters and the high-end process series Optibar 5060. It can be used for process temperatures between -40° C and 150° C (-40° F and 302° F) without the additional diaphragm seal. For aggressive media and higher temperatures, it can be combined with the Optibar DSP series diaphragm seal assemblies, providing a temperature decoupling up to 400° C (752° F).

The measuring range reaches from 0.1 to 100 bar/1.45 to 1450 psi, with the smallest measuring range of 100 mbar/1.45 psi and a measuring accuracy up to ±0.1% of set span. It offers high overload factors especially for small measuring ranges, and a quick step response time less than 80 ms.
