Pressure transmitter VEGABAR 82 type

Description

Product Overview
The VEGABAR 82 is a high-precision pressure transmitter engineered for reliable level and pressure measurement in demanding industrial environments. It delivers accurate, stable pressure readings for liquids, gases and vapors across chemical, petrochemical, water/wastewater and process industries. Its key value proposition is a rugged stainless-steel design with proven digital signal conditioning that reduces downtime, simplifies integration and improves process control. Strategically, the VEGABAR 82 supports operational excellence by enabling tighter process tolerances, safer plant operation and lower total cost of ownership compared with legacy analog sensors.

Key Specifications & Technical Characteristics

• Sensor type: Ceramic or piezoresistive capacitive silicon sensor options (application dependent).

• Wetted materials: 316L stainless steel (standard); optional Hastelloy C-276 for corrosive media.

• Seal materials: FKM (Viton) standard; optional EPDM or FFKM (Kalrez) for specific chemical compatibility.

• Electrical output: 4–20 mA (HART) standard; FOUNDATION Fieldbus/Profibus optional (model dependent).

• Accuracy: Typical ±0.1% to ±0.25% of span (application and range dependent).

• Pressure ranges: Gauge, absolute and sealed gauge versions available; ranges from low mbar to several hundred bar (range chosen per model).

• Temperature range: Wide operating temperature window (ambient and process limits depend on sensor and flange selection; consult datasheet for exact values).

• Process connections: Flange, threaded, hygienic clamp or weld-on connections available.

• Protection rating: IP66/IP68 and optionally intrinsically safe or explosion-proof housings for hazardous areas.

• Housing: Robust stainless-steel housing; options for aluminum or coated housings for specific environments.

• Display/Interface: Local display and push-button configuration optional; remote configuration via HART/fieldbus supported.

• Power supply: 24 V DC typical for loop-powered 4–20 mA devices; fieldbus-powered options available.

• Mounting orientation: Versatile mounting options for vessel head, side-wall or pipeline installations.

• Packaging: Industrial crate packaging for export; palletized with corrosion protection and desiccant; options for wooden crates, sea-freight wraps, and custom labeling.

• Shelf life/Storage: No chemical degradation; store in dry conditions within manufacturer-recommended temperature range; calibration recommended after extended storage.

Core Industrial Applications

• Chemical and petrochemical processing: Continuous level and pressure monitoring in reactors, storage tanks and distillation columns. VEGABAR 82’s corrosion-resistant wetted materials and high accuracy reduce product loss and enable precise control of critical processes.

• Oil & gas upstream and midstream: Wellhead, separator, and pipeline pressure monitoring with explosion-proof/hazardous-area-certified options to meet rigorous safety standards.

• Water & wastewater treatment: Pump control, overflow prevention and filtration system monitoring where reliability and low maintenance reduce operational disruptions.

• Food & beverage and pharma (hygienic variants): Cleanable connections and sanitary process fittings for level/pressure control in production and storage, supporting regulatory compliance.

• Power generation and utilities: Boiler feed and condensate systems where stable pressure measurement improves efficiency and protects equipment.
  Why it outperforms alternatives:

• Superior long-term stability and low drift reduce recalibration frequency and maintenance costs.

• Broad materials and certification options allow precise material compatibility and compliance with safety standards.

• Flexible communication protocols and mounting options simplify integration into existing DCS/PLC and IIoT systems, lowering installation and commissioning time.

Competitive Advantages

• Quality consistency: Manufactured under ISO-certified processes with traceable component sourcing and factory calibration for repeatable performance.

• Supply reliability: Global production and distribution network with configurable lead times and regional stocking options to support just-in-time procurement strategies.

• Logistics capability: Export-ready packaging, CIF/FOB shipping support, and coordinated container loading to minimize transit damage and customs delays.

• Price competitiveness: Tiered pricing for volume commitments and long-term contracts; comparative total cost of ownership favors VEGABAR 82 through reduced maintenance and longer service intervals.

• Sustainability: Durable construction reduces replacement frequency; options for recyclable materials and reduced packaging on request.

• Technical support: Comprehensive documentation including datasheets, installation guides, performance certificates, hazardous-area approvals, and access to regional technical service and commissioning support.

Commercial & Supply Information

• Minimum order quantity (MOQ): BULK 20 MT (equipment supplied and packaged to reach specified bulk weight).

• Loading capacity (MT per container): Typical maximum payload depends on packaging configuration; estimate 20–22 MT per standard 20-foot container for packaged transmitter units and accessories.

• Lead times: Configurable per order size and options; consult sales for firm delivery schedule and expedited shipping solutions.

• Warranty & calibration: Manufacturer warranty and option for factory calibration certificates and extended maintenance contracts (available on request).
