Differential pressure in DIN-mount
DIN-rail mounting for ultra low differential pressure transmitter reduces footprint by factor of four, allowing multiple installation in smaller cabinets and reducing installation costs
The new Ashcroft DXIdp ultra low differential pressure transmitter from Dresser Measurement is the first to be DIN-rail mounted It has been developed to offer easier and more efficient installation and calibration

Radiometer probe measures UV or dental cure wands
Providing Nist traceable results, this radiometer is suitable for quality control by manufacturers who want to profile output uniformity over the wand's entire surface
Pressurised room/laboratory and filter pressures are the primary applications in the biotechnology and pharmaceutical industries.
Compared to the conventional transducers which are flat mounted the DIN-rail mounting reduces the footprint by a 4:1 ratio, allowing multiple installation in smaller cabinets, thereby significantly reducing installation costs.
As an option, and to avoid the conventional requirement to cut tubes while calibrating, an unique built-in Spoolcal process valve actuator can be manually rotated to isolate the process pressure from the transmitter.
This allows the user to send a known or generated pressure into the unit to perform a calibration or to put the DXLdp transmitter into calibration mode.
This greatly reduces commissioning time.
Also, a one to two turndown is available to reduce the number of spare units required.
The DXLdp transmitter contains the patented silicon glass sensor providing terminal point accuracy 0,5% or 0.25%.
The unit can be used with three DIN-rail types, including EN50022, 35 and 45.
It has optional LED lights indicating over-range, in-range or zero and is CE approved to the highest harmonised specification for industrial transmitters.
Range from 0/25Pa to 0/125mbar.
