Intelligent Pressure Sensors for UK Process Industries
In chemical process manufacturing, pharmaceutical, food processing and water treatment processes, pressure remains one of the most important process parameters to be measured and controlled. In conjunction with temperature, accurate measurement of pressure ensures plant safety, product quality, and proper operation.
While companies increasingly demand more intelligence and more reliability solutions, higher-end industrial pressure sensors in the UK are finding growing demand. VEGA offers pressure sensors that are more than just raw data – combining long-term stability, intelligent self-monitoring, and robust design for use even in the most demanding British environments.
Designed to Be Reliable and Easy to Use
VEGA pressure sensors are designed to function exceptionally well in normal conditions. Resists hostile media, harsh temperature and high pressure; their heavy-duty build reduces downtime as well as overall cost of ownership.
VEGADIF 85 – Simple Differential Pressure Measurement
Differential pressure sensors are notoriously problematic to commission and install. The VEGADIF 85 simplifies this through Bluetooth communication and user-friendly software including the free VEGA Tools app and PACTware. This facilitates remote configuration, particularly valuable in confined or dangerous spaces.
The sensor can provide differential and absolute pressures in terms of two separate current outputs, giving an overall view of the process. Mass flow and quantity values could be derived by using an integral digital totaliser, and thus the number of instruments required could be reduced, incurring installation and maintenance costs.
eDP System – Versatile Electronic Differential Pressure
The VEGA electronic differential pressure (eDP) system uses two independent sensors, each with a ceramic or metallic measuring cell. Ceramic types are resistant to abrasion and corrosion, with metallic ones suitable for cold or humid conditions. This provides the eDP system with the capability of being customized to UK industry environments.
The system can also provide density-compensated level measurement by reading level and density simultaneously, and then automatically compensating the readings for increased accuracy. The system is also Profibus PA and Foundation Fieldbus compatible for simple integration into an existing process control system.
VEGAWELL – Hydrostatic Level Sensors for Harsh Situations
VEGAWELL is a hydrostatic level sensor ideally suited for UK applications like wastewater treatment, flood protection, seawater surveillance and ballast tank level measurement.
Long-term designed, the sensor has a heavy-duty ceramic measuring cell with overload and high vacuum resistance. Its overvoltage protection is especially critical in outdoor or lightning-exposed positions. With many cable and housing options, VEGAWELL is the preferred choice for underwater, offshore or isolated installations where reliability is the key.
Smarter Software for Safer Control
VEGA provides safer and more convenient operation via digital innovation and smart design features:
- Bluetooth setup: Adjustment sensors are achievable via the free of charge VEGA Tools app, even in hazardous or remote areas.
- LED status ring: Pressure sensor devices like VEGABAR 28/29 and 38/39 feature a transparent LED status ring providing immediate feedback regarding sensor function and condition.
Smart functionality streamlines regular maintenance, reduces human error, and facilitates diagnostics and fault-finding.
