Pressure Transducers to Detect Surges
Pressure Transducers to Detect Surges
(OP)
I am seeking recommendations of pressure transducers for a hydrocarbons pipeline and facility to measure pressure surges. The transducer needs to be EX d for the hazardous environment.
The transducer needs to be fast acting in order to capture all surge pressures. In addition as the results will be used to validate modelling any spikes need to be captured.
If you have some suggestions could you please point to the appropriate website.

Check out a relatively new product from Ashcroft called the Model A2. It is available CL.1, DIV.1 and 2, Groups A,B,C,D. It has external zero and span adjustments, and a response time of less than 2 ms.

The need to put transducers in the system is to determine how long the transient event will last.
Data logger available measures 14000 events per second
Adding a check valve into a hydrocarbon line that is in service is not practical. This is not a water system and the operators are not poor men.
