AST4600-Vented
Explosionproof CSA Approved For Hazardous Locations, Vented 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
Constructed with a simple-yet-rugged design, the AST4600 stands up to a variety of Explosionproof applications where price and performance are critical.
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.
