Pressure sensor gives fail-safe protection
July 1st 2005

Anon-intrusive pressure sensor from Robbins & Myers protects pumps both from dry-running conditions and high pressure situations.

The RMz pressure sensor is fitted at the pump outlet which the company regards as the most effective way of preventing dry running. The sensor consists of three basic components: sensor, pressure switch and control box. It is easy to install and fits between two standard pipe flanges, allowing complete fluid flow without obstruction. Pressure detection over the entire pipe circumference ensures that coating, settled material, or bridging does not affect pressure readings.

A liquid filled gauge allows visual monitoring of pressure conditions within the pumping system.
