Monitor Gas Pipeline Vibration with 4-20 mA Transmitters

December 31, 2010 By Randy Frank 2 Comments

Monitoring machinery health is common in many industrial applications to reduce downtown and avoid catastrophic failures. When a hazardous environment such as a gas pipeline is involved, special packaging is required.   IMI Sensors newest Series 640 (hazardous area-approved versions) transmitters are manufactured to meet specific natural gas industry design requirements, including certification in accordance with ATEX and CSA for use in hazardous areas.

The two-wire, loop-powered 4-20 mA vibration sensors are enclosed in welded, hermetically sealed, stainless steel housings. With power from a 12-30 Vdc source, the 4-20 mA output can be connected to existing PLC, DCS, and SCADA systems.

For more information on the hazardous area-approved versions of IMI Sensors’ Series 640 industrial vibration transmitters, click here.
