The Series 27, 28, and 30 non-submersible pressure transducers are specifically designed for demanding industrial applications where the primary criteria are reliability and economy. These units provide repeatable, precision measurements under the most hostile conditions. Capable of measuring vacuum to pressure as high as 2000 psi (13,790 kPa), these transducers can meet most any industrial pressure measurement requirement.

All KPSI Transducers utilize a highly accurate pressure sensor assembly specifically designed for hostile fluids and gases. The assembly is integrated with supporting electronics in a durable housing constructed of 316SS or Titanium. A wide variety of electrical and pressure connections are available to accommodate most any system interface.
These units are designed for installation in a Class I, Division 1, Groups A, B, C, and D, Class II, Division 1, Groups E, F and G, Class III, Division 1 hazardous location when connected to appropriate apparatus such as those manufactured by R. G. Stahl, Inc., and others. KPSI transducers are type approved by the American Bureau of Shipping (ABS) and are UL, CUL, and FM approved. The Series 27, 28, 30 are CE compliant to EN 61326-1:2006 and EN 61326-2-3:2006. All KPSI Transducer calibrations are traceable to the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST).

- For ranges > 100 psi (690 kPa), output is 4-20 mA only.
- Intermediate pressure ranges are available.
- Static accuracy includes the combined errors due to nonlinearity, hysteresis and nonrepeatability on a Best Fit Straight Line (BFSL) basis, at 25°C per ISA S51.1.
- Thermal error is the maximum allowable deviation from the Best Fit Straight Line due to a change in temperature, per ISA S51.1.
- For ranges < 5 psi (34 kPa), maximum thermal error is ±0.1% FSO/°C.
- Custom VDC output levels can be provided up to 2.5 VDC less than the excitation supply voltage. Contact Customer Service for VDC output availability.
- For ranges <=2 psi (14 kPa), zero offset is ±0.25 mA.
- For ranges < 2 psi (14 kPa), only 4-20 mA output is available.
- Intrinsic safety limits excitation to 28V.
- The power supply needs to be limited to 150 mA to avoid lock up of the gas tube after a supression event.
