Description

These high quality pressure switches have been developed

especially for safety-critical applications. High quality of the
product with established systems and manufacturing process
will ensure reliable monitoring of your plant.

Rugged in construction, supreme in performance PS01

pressure switches are designed as cost effective solutions
to meet a variety of applications in oil, gas, power, steel and
petrochemical industries.
Fig. top: Pressure switch, model W1 weatherproof
The sensing element consists of a time-proven diaphragm Fig. bottom: Pressure switch, model F1 flameproof
sealed piston affording high integrity, reliable switching and
a very high overload protection. Variety of combinations in
features are available to make it versatile.

For low ranges, diaphragm is used as a measuring element.
