American Sensor Technologies has released the AST4530 PVDF / PTFE submersible pressure transducer. Intended for liquid level measurement of corrosive liquids in which stainless steel or titanium cannot survive, the transducer is designed to offer excellent long-term survivability and stability. All materials exposed to the sensor are optimized for compatibility, including the PVDF cable and seal. The submersible pressure transducer offers a variety of measurement ranges from 0-2.5 PSI up to 30 PSI. Through the latest sensing technologies, the changes in pressure are transmitted through a PTFE diaphragm and converted to an output signal using ASIC electronics. A 1-5V and 0.5-4.5V ratiometric are available for low current consumption applications, whereas a 4-20mA output signals is available long distance transmissions. Industries with field trial installations include municipal water / waste water management sites, salt water / brine tanks, chemical containers / totes requiring inventory management and petrochemical above ground storage tanks.
