Viatran Corporation, an ISO9001 certified leader in the design, development and manufacture of innovative pressure and level transmitters, has announced the global market introduction of its industry-exclusive Model 386 Flush Tip Pressure Transmitter.

The Viatran Model 386 pressure transmitter features an industry-exclusive flush tip-zero cavity design. This unique configuration eliminates the traditional measurement challenges of pressure transmitter port clogging.

It also removes installation torque effects on the output signal. The Model 386 further incorporates a solid stainless steel machined diaphragm (Inconel optional), along with all-welded sealed housings.

This combination makes the pressure transmitters virtually impervious to fluid ingress, reducing risk of potential damage to internal electronics. The Model 386 also features an isolated sensor which eliminates the need for adjustments to the pressure transmitter after installation.

Units are available in 13 uniquely configurable standard ranges, covering 0-150 to 0-10K PSIG or PSIS, along with a variety of electrical connections. Depending upon range, the Model 386 can withstand up to 1.5X proof pressure (10K PSI range) and up to 5X burst pressure (or 30K PSI, whichever is less). Additional ranges and models are available upon request. Please consult the factory for details.

Typical applications for the Viatran Model 386 flush tip pressure transmitter include paint finishing systems, automotive and aerospace test stands, in-laboratory R&D, process pressure measurements, adhesives, sludge and slurries, and viscous media measurements.
