BP16 Strain Gauge Pressure Transducer

  •     Ranges 100psig to 15,000psig
  •     Stainless Steel Diaphragm (single piece construction)
  •     ¼" BSPP female pressure port (supplied as standard with bonded seal and ¼" male pressure port adaptor)
  •     1000ohm bonded foil strain gauge bridge resistance as standard (option of 350ohm bridge available)
  •     Amplified voltage output version (refer to BP16UVW datasheet)
  •     Amplified current output version (refer to BP16EF datasheet)
  •     Supplied with 2 metre PVC cable (versions available with integral connector or modified cable lengths/type)

The LCM Systems range of Pioden Transducers has been widely used for many years.

The BP16 range of pressure transducers combine the excellent performance of bonded foil strain gauge technology with a single piece stainless steel diaphragm construction, to provide an excellent price/performance ratio, suitable for use in many arduous measurement applications.

The BP16 construction makes it ideal for a wide range of applications, including, hydraulic lifting, mobile hydraulic vehicles, portable test gear, air frame test rigs amongst others.

The most popular version of the BP16 is the integral cable version, which is supplied with a 1 metre PVC cable length. However, an integral connector version is also available, as are versions with different cable lengths or different cable types.

The BP16 offers a variety of amplified outputs in the same packaging arrangement (a separate data sheet is available detailing these).

LCM Systems can supply the BP16 on it's own or integrated with any of the wide range of strain gauge based instrumentation available from LCM Systems.

What is Class I Division 2?

Image
A Class I Division 2 is a location: (1) In which volatile flammable gases, flammable liquid-produced vapors, or combustible liquid-produced vapors are handled, processed, or used, but in which the liquids, vapors, or gases will normally be confined within closed containers or closed systems from which they can escape only in case of accidental rupture or breakdown of such containers or systems or in case of abnormal operation of equipment, or (2) In which ignitable concentrations of flammable gases, flammable liquid-produced vapors, or combustible liquid-produced vapors are normally prevented by positive mechanical ventilation, and which might become hazardous through failure or abnormal operation of the ventilating equipment. Class I Division 2 Classification Class I Division 2 refers to the ANSI/ISA 12.12.01 standard. This standard was previously UL1604 until UL recommended the newer ANSI/ISA standard be used and that all hazardous location products be certified under this standa

FUSE SIZING CONSIDERATIONS FOR HIGHER EFFICIENCY MOTORS

Image
When selecting the proper fuse for short circuit protection in motor starting applications, it is important to not only ensure that the fuse will not nuisance open during motor start up times, but also that the fuse will coordinate as required with overload relays. When sizing fuses between 125% and 150% of the motor nameplate current, several advantages, including ease of coordination with an overload device, a smaller disconnect, and increased short circuit protection from a lower fuse rating, can be achieved. However, if sizing at this level prevents the motor from starting, it may then be necessary to increase the fuse ampere rating and it then becomes important to know the NEC sizing limitations. As of June 1, 2016, the US Department of Energy has mandated that newly manufactured electric motors will need to meet NEMA Premium® efficiency standards. As motor efficiencies increase, motor locked rotor currents can also be expected to increase. In addition to this, with across-the-lin

7/8 16UN Connectors that Provide 600 Volts and 15 Amps

TURCK announces new A-Size 3 and 4-pin 7/8 16UN powerfast™ connectors that provide up to 600 Volts and 15 Amps of power. These IP67 rated connectors provide a modular wiring system designed to handle high current applications for machine power distribution, while providing resistance to vibration commonly associated with conveyors, motors and material handling applications. The cordsets are available with a tray rated, exposed run PVC flexlife ® cable, with or without STOOW rating, and 14 AWG wires that allow you to replace hard wiring with a robust, quick disconnect system that saves the time and money spent installing a conduit system. The A-Size powerfast line offers male and female, straight connectors, standard and custom lengths, and pigtails or extensions. To make the system complete, fully encapsulated mating receptacles, with 1/2”-14 NPT mounting threads are available.
