  • Operating Pressure Range: Refer to the model number matrix for specifics.
  • Temperature Range: Operating: -22 to 176°F (-30 to 80°C); Compensated: -20 to 160°F (-29 to 71°C).
  • Process Connection: 1/4”-18 NPT female with hex nut options based on pressure rating.
  • Electrical Connection: Options include 1/2” NPT male conduit or M12 connector.
  • Material: Enclosure and wetted parts are made of 316L stainless steel.
  • Environmental Resistance: Humidity has no effect from 0-95%, non-condensing.
  • Shock and Vibration Resistance: 800g and 20G respectively, per IEC standards.
  • Wiring Protection: Reverse polarity and short circuit protection up to 48 VDC.
  • Supply Voltage: 8 - 30 VDC, typically 24 VDC.
  • Output: 4-20 mA, two-wire configuration.

PXT-K Series-1

FW MURPHY" PRODUCTION CONTROLS Pressure Transmitters PXT-K Series The PXT-K Series pressure transmitters are state-of-the-art instruments providing 4-20 mA output. Each piezoresistive pressure transmitter contains a transducer comprised of a piezoresistive silicon chip mounted on a glass-metal feed-through header welded into a stainless steel housing and filled with silicone oil. The very thin laser-welded stainless steel isolation-diaphragm completes the front side. Media pressure is transferred from the stainless steel isolation-diaphragm via the oil inside the cell to the silicon measuring chip. This construction, combined with the advanced internal signal conditioning circuitry, results in a rugged instrument with extremely small temperature error and class-leading EMI/RFI resistance. The enclosure and all wetted parts are made of 316L stainless steel. PXT-K Series Pressure Transmitters can be used in applications such as compressors, engines, process control, liquid level and pumps. Operating Range Supply voltage for the PXT-K must be within range of 8-30 VDC. The graph below shows the minimum supply voltage (VDC) required for a given load resistance (R). Operating Pressure Range: See How to Order under the PXT-K Series Model Number Matrix. Operating Temperature: -22 to 176° F (-30 to 80° C) Compensated Temp Range: -20 to 160° F (-29 to 71° C) Process Connection: 1/4“-18 NPT female with 7/8“ hex nut (2000 psig and below), or 1-3/16“ hex nut (3000 psig and above) models Electrical Connection: PXT-K: 1/2“ NPT male conduit connection, 60“ long cable, vented PXT-KM: M12 connector Enclosure: NEMA 4/IP65 or better Body: 316L stainless steel. Wetted Parts: 316L stainless steel Environmental Effect (Humidity): No effect for 0-95%, non-condensing Mounting: All axis positions, has negligible effect on performance as long as it is perpendicular to the flow being monitored. Shock Resistance: 800g per IEC 60068-2-27 (Mechanical Shock) Vibration Resistance: 20G per IEC 60068-2-6 (Vibration under resonance) Wiring Protection: Protected against reverse polarity and short circuit, 48 VDC Maximum Supply Voltage: 8 - 30 VDC (Typically 24 VDC) Transmitter Output: 4-20 mA, two wire configurations with load characteristics Insulation: Greater than 10 MQ @ 300 VDC Electromagnetic Compatibility (EMC): Standards; EN 610006-2:2005, EN 61000-6-3:2007, EN 61326-2-3:2006 Voltage Surge/Spike Protection: Protection against a 600 volt spike per IEC 60-2 Shipping Weight: 6.5 ounces Applicable Standards CSA (c/us): Class I / II / III, Div 1, Groups A-F T4 Class I / II / III, Div 2, Groups A-D,F,G T4 ATEX: IBExU 10 ATEX 1124 X II 1G Ex ia IIC T6-T4 II 3G Ex nA IIC T6 Canadian Registration Number: OF15236.2 (all providences and territories) In order to consistently bring you the highest quality, full-featured products, we reserve the right to change our specifications and designs at any time.
