Explosion-proof Two-wire Pressure Transmitter for Industrial Field Service Introduced

The BelGAS division of Marsh Bellofram Corporation, a member of the Bellofram Group of Companies, today introduced the global market introduction of its Type 5000 explosion-proof two-wire pressure transmitter, expressly designed for industrial field service.

Designed for maximum durability, the compact, rugged, and reliable Marsh Bellofram BelGAS Type 5000 P/I transducer is a two-wire device that converts a signal pressure input into a precise 4-20 mA or 10-50 mA output. The Type 5000 pressure transmitter uses a unique temperature-compensated piezoresistive transducer suitable for gauge pressure measurement of non-corrosive liquids and gases.
Available in six pressure measurement ranges from 0–15 psig (0–1.0 bar) to 0–100 psig (0–6.9 bar), the transducer features an excellent dynamic response, typical accuracy of ±0.1% of span, and is relatively insensitive to mounting orientation and ordinary industrial vibration. The Type 5000 can withstand overpressures to 45 psig without calibration shift and overpressures to 60 psig without failure and its operating temperature range is from –40°C to 82°C. Operating from a 12–30 VDC power supply, the transmitter has a response time of <10 milliseconds.
The lightweight NEMA 4X-rated housing includes a 1/4 NPT pressure port and a 1/2 NPT conduit port for field wiring; connections are easily accessible via top cover removal, as are the multi-turn potentiometers to adjust zero and span in the field. The Type 5000 is CE listed and FM-approved NEMA 4X Explosionproof to Class I, Division 1 Groups B, C, and D T6 and Dust-Ignition Proof to Classes II and III, Division 1, Groups E, F and G, T6. It also carries CSA Hazardous Locations approval to Class I, Groups B, C and D; Class II, Groups E, F, and G; and Class III.
