AST4600-Factory-Sealed
Explosionproof CSA Approved For Hazardous Locations, Factory Sealed Gauge Pressure Transducer
AST4600 Explosionproof Pressure Transducer / Transmitter is CSA approved for use in hazardous areas including:
- CSA 30 (UL1203/FM3615) Class 1 Zone 1
Group IIC - CSA 30 Class 1 Div 1 Groups A, B, C, D Explosionproof
- CSA 30 Class 2 Div 1 Groups E, F, G Dust Ignition-proof
Available with voltage output signals, the AST4600 can be used for applications requiring low power consumption or packaged with a 4-20mA output signal for common integration into PLC's and controllers and long distance transmissions.
This pressure transducer features AST's Krystal Bond™ Technology, a one-piece stainless steel sensing element that provides high proof and burst pressure capability, long-term stability, and repeatable readings. The sensor is most commonly packaged with 316L Stainless steel to offer excellent media compatibility and comply to NACE MR0175 standards.
