P2VA1 and P2VA2 Pressure Transmitters: Measurement with an Accuracy Class of 0.3

The P2VA1 and P2VA2 pressure transmitters can measure pressure that amounts to nearly 7,000 bar with an accuracy class of 0.3. They are equipped with HBM’s high-grade strain-gauge technology and are ideally suited for dynamic and static measurement tasks in the industry; for instance, in water-jet cutting, high-pressure forming, or isostatic presses. The P2VA1 and P2VA2 come with an integrated amplifier. Thus, these can be directly utilized for industrial process control, without the requirement of any additional measurement electronics. Owing to their corrosion-proof, robust, one-piece stainless-steel measuring body, the pressure transmitters have permanent resistance against chemically demanding environments; for instance, in test-bench applications of the petrochemical industry.

The pressure transmitters facilitate immediate use, as they have an automatic measuring point identification enabled by TEDS. Two selectable signal outputs, volt with the P2VA1 or milliampere with the P2VA2, enable easy integration with the existing measurement systems.

A special feature offered by the transmitters is “live zero”: 0 bar pressure is presented as 0.5 V or 4 mA; if a smaller value is measured in the control system, an error is detected, and the system can be shut down safely.

The P2VA1 and P2VA2 have eight nominal (rated) pressure options, which makes them the first choice for many industrial applications.

• Accuracy class: 0.3
• Nominal pressure: up to 7,000 bar
• Degree of protection: IP67
• Output signal: Volt or milliampere
