Intrinsically safe pressure transmitters for low pressure ranges are now available with ½" NPT Male and 1/4" BSPP male process connections.
January 11, 2013 - American Sensor Technologies (AST) adds ½" NPT Male and 1/4" BSPP male process connections to its intrinsically safe pressure transmitters for low pressure ranges. The non-incendive version of the low pressure series, the AST43LP will also share the same update. With the process connections available on AST’s other intrinsically safe and non-incendive products, it is a natural extension of available options. The ½" NPT male process connection is a popular option in North America for AST pressure transmitters due to its open, non-clogging cavity design. The option gives engineers the ability to consolidate their adapter options and simplify integration of the transmitter.
