Overview
The Endress+Hauser PMC131-A22F1V6N Cerabar T is a compact, robust pressure transducer designed for precise measurement of absolute and gauge pressures in industrial applications. Featuring Ceraphire® ceramic sensor technology (99.9% Al₂O₃), this unit delivers long-term stability and corrosion resistance in demanding environments. With integrated 4–20 mA two-wire electronics and DIN 43650/ISO 4400 plug connectivity, the PMC131-A22F1V6N is ready to integrate into control systems without additional amplifiers.
Key Features
- Ceraphire® ceramic sensor: Exceptional corrosion, abrasion, and overload protection; FDA-compliant for food-contact applications
- Measurement range: Absolute and gauge pressure up to 400 bar (6000 psi); vacuum-capable
- Output signal: Integrated 4–20 mA two-wire, loop-powered, no external amplifier required
- Connector: DIN 43650/ISO 4400 plug version (M16 or ½ NPT process connection)
- Accuracy: ≤0.5% full-scale linearity (including hysteresis and repeatability) per DIN IEC 770
- Temperature stability: Operating range −20 to +85 °C; minimal temperature drift (typ. <1.5% at zero, typical range)
Technical Specifications
Includes standard output signal conditioning, IP65-rated connector housing, and stainless-steel process connections suitable for hygienic and threaded installations.
