Pressure Transducers

If Machine Pressure is Important to you, We’ve Got Your Sensor System

GE supplies special-purpose pressure transducer solutions for use in applications such as combustor instability ("humming") detection on gas turbines, cylinder performance characteristics (P-V curves, rod compression/tension, suction/discharge pressure, etc.) on reciprocating compressors, and early warning of seal failures on process pumps by monitoring pressure across the seal face. These applications requires a transducer specifically designed for the pressures, temperatures, and cyclic stresses encountered in such harsh environments while delivering reliable machinery information.

	165855 Cylinder Pressure Transducer Intended specifically for use with the Bently Nevada 3500/77M Recip Cylinder Pressure Monitor when real-time, continuous monitoring of cylinder performance is required on reciprocating compressors. It is able to withstand the extreme temperatures and pressure cycling of reciprocating compressor cylinders while providing reliable measurements. It also incorporates innovative materials and construction techniques that allow it to survive in the harsh chemical environments typically encountered in reciprocating compressor applications, such as hydrogen sulfide (H2S). The transducer has undergone extensive testing and is unique in the industry, carrying a 3-year warranty. It is available with a number of adapters, allowing it to be used with many existing pressure indicator valves (e.g., Kiene* valves). Datasheet (251KB PDF)
	200132 Pressure Transducer The 200132 pressure transducer is intended for general purpose, static pressure measurements made with our Trendmaster® Pro data acquisition hardware. It interfaces to the 200130 flexiTIM, features robust, stainless steel construction, and is available in a variety of pressure ranges. Datasheet (265KB PDF)
	200136 Seal-Leak Detection (SLD) Transducer The 200136 SLD transducer incorporates highly reliable proximity probe technology observing a moving diaphragm to detect static pressure changes on the non-pressurized end of single or double seals or between tandem or dual seals. Changes in pressure indicate failing seals. The transducer is specifically designed for use with our 200135 TIM as part of a Trendmaster® Pro system for continuous monitoring of process pumps handling toxic or flammable materials in the chemical and hydrocarbon processing industries. Datasheet (403KB PDF)
	Gas Turbine Combustion Instability Transducers The Bently Nevada 3500/64M Dynamic Pressure Monitor is specifically designed to monitor combustor pressure pulsations indicative of combustion instabilities ("humming") in gas turbines. Through the use of our 350500 interface module, a variety of pressure transducers* designed for these applications can be used with the 3500/64M. Datasheet (307KB PDF)
	* Note: GE offers the 145664 pressure transducer and associated extension cable for applications up to 500F (260C), which is generally adequate when a standoff tube is used to mount the sensor off the combustor. When the sensor will be directly mounted on the combustor, higher temperature ranges will generally be required and a variety of third-party transducers and cables are available which are also compatible with the 350500 charge amplifier and 3500/64M monitor module.
