PT20-5000PSIG-1-13-2-8-ST8

Overview

The NOSHOK PT20-5000PSIG-1-13-2-8-ST8 is a general-purpose fixed-range pressure transmitter designed for industrial applications. It features a gauge pressure range of 5000 PSIG and utilizes a 4-20 mA output signal with HART communication protocol. The unit incorporates an isolated stainless steel diaphragm and a ceramic capacitor sensing element to ensure stability and accuracy. Electrical connections are facilitated via a standard M12 connector, while the process interface is defined by a 1/4 NPT male connection. The device is housed in a robust aluminum case with a stainless steel diaphragm, providing reliable performance across various fluid and gas media.

Feature Summary

• Features an isolated stainless steel diaphragm and ceramic capacitor sensing element for high stability and long-term reliability.
• Supports HART communication protocol over a 4-20 mA analog output signal for advanced diagnostics and configuration.
• Constructed with a durable aluminum housing and stainless steel wetted parts to withstand harsh industrial environments.
• Equipped with a standard M12 electrical connector for secure and convenient wiring integration.

Applications

• Industrial process control systems requiring precise pressure monitoring
• Hydraulic and pneumatic machinery feedback loops
• Compressed air and gas distribution network monitoring
• Fluid power system diagnostics and automation

Procurement Notes

Verify that the specific model suffixes align with your required process connection type and electrical interface standards. Confirm the operating temperature range and media compatibility with the installed fluid or gas to ensure sensor integrity. Ensure the power supply voltage matches the transmitter's specifications before installation. Cross-reference the calibration certificate requirements with your quality assurance protocols to maintain compliance with industry standards.

Selection Notes

Select this model when a fixed gauge pressure range up to 5000 PSIG is required with digital communication capabilities. Consider the M12 connector preference over traditional screw terminals for vibration resistance and ease of maintenance. Evaluate the need for HART protocol support for remote diagnostics versus basic analog-only applications. Ensure the physical dimensions and mounting options fit within the available space constraints of the target equipment or panel.

Part Context

The PT20 series represents NOSHOK's general-purpose line of pressure transmitters, offering a balance of performance and cost-effectiveness for standard industrial tasks. This specific part number denotes a variant optimized for higher pressure ranges within the gauge category. The series is widely used in sectors such as manufacturing, energy, and transportation where reliable pressure data acquisition is critical for operational safety and efficiency.

Replacement Considerations

Direct replacement requires matching the 5000 PSIG gauge range, 4-20 mA + HART output, and 1/4 NPT connection. Verify that the M12 connector pinout is compatible with existing cabling or adapters. Check if the ambient temperature rating meets the installation environment requirements. Consult NOSHOK documentation for any updated series revisions that may offer improved specifications or connectivity options.
