SENSVISION PTS 400 – An Equivalent to the BD Sensors DMP 457
The BD Sensors DMP 457 is a stainless steel pressure transmitter developed for marine, shipbuilding, and offshore applications. It provides dependable pressure measurement across nominal pressure ranges from 100 mbar to 600 bar and is suitable for gaseous and liquid media compatible with stainless steel.
The SENSVISION PTS 400 offers equivalent stainless steel piezoresistive sensor technology, marine approvals, pressure range coverage, flush process connection capability, and robust performance as the BD Sensors DMP 457, making it an ideal alternative for both new installations and existing vessel or offshore systems.
The DMP 457 was designed for demanding environments where vibration, temperature changes, corrosion exposure, and strict classification requirements make dependable instrumentation essential. The SENSVISION PTS 400 is engineered to meet these same conditions, delivering excellent thermal behaviour, strong long-term stability, and reliable pressure measurement across a broad range of shipbuilding and offshore applications.
Like the BD Sensors DMP 457, the SENSVISION PTS 400 is certified by leading marine classification societies, including Lloyd’s Register, DNV, ABS, and CCS. These approvals make it suitable for regulated marine and offshore installations requiring recognised certification support.
The SENSVISION PTS 400 features a robust stainless steel 316L housing and pressure port, with a flush G 1/2-inch process connection available from 100 mbar to help support reliable measurement where process media or installation conditions require a flush connection. Welded pressure-port versions are also available for specialised applications.
Standard output is 2-wire 4–20 mA, enabling straightforward integration with existing marine control, monitoring, and automation systems. Ex ia intrinsically safe versions are available for hazardous gas and dust environments.
Whether you are replacing an existing BD Sensors DMP 457 or specifying a transmitter for a new marine or offshore application, the SENSVISION PTS 400 provides a dependable, cost-effective solution that delivers the performance, approvals, and durability required in demanding maritime environments.
