SmartLine STA800 – Absolute Pressure

SmartLine® ST800 Absolute Pressure Transmitters are used in vacuum applications that require high accuracy. The transmitters are ideal for low-pressure measurement in vacuum distillation columns.

SmartLine ST800 Absolute Pressure Transmitters are available in two variants – In-line and Single Head – in the following ranges:

STA822/STA82L 0 to 780 mmHga 0 to 1,040 mbara

STA840/STA84L 0 to 500 psia 0 to 35 bara

STA87L 0 to 3000 psia 0-207 bara

Sensor Technology

High-performance piezoresistive sensor.

On-chip compensation for static pressure and temperature, which improves measurement accuracy and stability.

Features

  • Excellent for vacuum applications (e.g., vacuum distillation columns) because of its high-accuracy absolute pressure measurement.
  • Good for leak detection, since absolute pressure is independent of atmospheric changes.
  • Suitable for very precise processes that require stability over long life (e.g., research, advanced processing).
