Hampton, VA, August 1999 -- Pressure Systems, Inc. has announced the development of an improved, self-sealing cable for use with its KPSI line of submersible water level sensors. The new cable prevents damage as a result of water incursion due to inadvertent cuts in the cable jacket.
 The new cable is now standard with all KPSI water level sensors. It provides several benefits over previous vented cables. The new cable has a self-sealing water block layer that, in the event of a cut in the jacket, prevents water from migrating beneath the jacket into the transducer housing. The new cable also incorporates a 50% increase in the jacket thickness, greatly decreasing vulnerability to cutting in the first place. In addition, the new cable features a spiral-wrapped shield layer which increases cable flexibility; this is especially important in applications where the cable is pulled through conduit. The new cable is 100% purged with dry nitrogen prior to installation onto the transducer. This extra step removes any water vapor that may have been trapped within the cable during manufacture. All KPSI water level transducers are shipped with a desiccant-filled vent filter already installed.
