XMP ci Process Pressure Transmitter with HART®-communication

The XMP ci Process Pressure Transmitter from BD|SENSORS is a high-precision instrument designed for reliable pressure measurement in industrial environments. Utilizing a specially developed capacitive ceramic sensor, the XMP ci offers outstanding media stability and high overpressure capability, making it ideal for challenging applications involving gases, steam, and fluids. With a nominal pressure range from 0.16 mbar up to 20 bar and an accuracy of up to 0.1% FSO (Full Scale Output), this transmitter ensures precise and consistent readings even in demanding conditions.

The XMP ci is engineered for versatility and durability, featuring a robust two-chamber aluminium die-cast or stainless steel field housing. It supports a wide variety of process connections, including threads, flanges, and DRD, and is equipped with HART®-communication as standard for seamless integration into process control systems. Optional features such as explosion protection (intrinsic safety or flameproof), integrated display modules, and various wetted material options further enhance its adaptability for aggressive media and hazardous environments.
