Remote Seals
Remote seals are used with Foxboro pressure transmitters when it is necessary to keep the transmitter isolated from the process. A sealed system is used for a process fluid that is corrosive, viscous, subject to extreme temperature, toxic, sanitary or tends to collect and solidify.
Key Benefits
- For use with absolute, gauge and differential pressure transmitters
- Wide choice of measurement ranges
- Direct or remote mounting
- Sizes 1 to 4 inch
- Flush or extended diaphragm
Temperature Transmitters
Our high-quality sensors feature rugged construction for maximum accuracy and longevity, and our temperature transmitters are used across the oil & gas, pharmaceutical and biotech, chemical, power, and pulp & paper industries.
Our temperature transmitters provide highly reliable, stable and accurate temperature measurements. Foxboro microprocessor-based transmitters are fully user-configurable and available with a choice of 4-20 mA/HART, Foundation Fieldbus, FoxCom or PROFIBUS communications.
These reliable transmitters increase the availability of your plant while reducing the cost of ownership through diagnostics, easy configuration tools and unmatched performance.
Key Benefits
- Long-term temperature measurement stability
- Self-diagnostics and self-calibration
- One unit configurable for all T/C/RTD, mV and Ω inputs
- Wide range of communications protocols
