Gas Density Transmitter - GD10-F

Brand: WIKA Alexander Wiegand SE & Co. KG
Request Information
The gas density transmitter is electronically compensated. The compensation follows the nonlinear behavior of SF6 gas. The basic principle is the calculation following virial equation.

The gas density transmitter picks up the physical variables pressure and temperature of the SF6 gas contained in the device (tank). 

The current gas density is ascertained from both variables by means of an electronic evaluation system. Thermal induced pressure changes are dynamically compensated and do not affect the output signal.
Features
  • Measuring ranges from 0 ... 10  to 0 ... 80 g/litre.
  • Output signal 4 ... 20 mA, 2-wire.
  • Temperature compensated and hermetically sealed, therefore no influence temperature, by atmospheric pressure fluctuation or differences in altitude.
  • Wetted parts and case made of stainless steel, fully welded.
  • Ingress protection IP 67, field case, excellent long-term stability, high EMI performance.
