UNIK5800-5900: The High-Performance Pressure Sensor Solution for Demanding Industrial Environments

Pressure is a fundamental parameter, the silent force dictating efficiency, safety, and product quality across countless industrial processes. From the depths of offshore drilling platforms to the sterile corridors of pharmaceutical cleanrooms, from the high-pressure hydraulics of manufacturing lines to the intricate piping of chemical plants, accurate and reliable pressure measurement isn’t just beneficial—it’s often mission-critical. Yet, achieving reliable readings in harsh, demanding environments poses significant challenges. This is where the UNIK5800-5900 series pressure sensors emerge as a robust and versatile solution, engineered specifically to excel where standard sensors falter.

Imagine a high-pressure hydraulic system powering heavy machinery. A sudden, undetected spike could lead to catastrophic failure. Envision a chemical reactor where pressure stability is paramount to the reaction kinetics and safety margins. Picture a food processing line where hygienic design is non-negotiable. In each scenario, the pressure transducer deployed must be more than just accurate; it must be rugged, dependable, and tailored to the specific rigors of its operating environment. The UNIK5800-5900 series is designed to be that dependable partner.

Engineered for Excellence Across the Spectrum

The core strength of the UNIK5800-5900 lies in its adaptability and resilience. Unlike many generic sensors, this series boasts a wide operating pressure range, typically starting from vacuum capabilities up to an impressive 100 bar (approximately 1450 psi). This flexibility makes it suitable for diverse applications, from monitoring low-pressure air systems to controlling high-pressure fluid power.

Key to its industrial pedigree is its robust construction:

• All-Welded, Stainless Steel Construction: This ensures exceptional durability and long-term integrity. The hermetically sealed design prevents internal contamination and protects the sensitive sensing element from corrosive process media and challenging atmospheric conditions prevalent in factories, offshore installations, or outdoor settings.
• Advanced Sensing Technology: Utilizing a high-stability sensing element, the UNIK5800-5900 delivers high accuracy and low hysteresis, meaning measurements are consistent and repeatable even during fluctuating pressure cycles. This precision is vital for process control and quality assurance.
• Superior Environmental Protection: With ingress protection ratings typically reaching IP67 or IP69K, these sensors are built to withstand dust, high-pressure water jets, and even temporary submersion. They shrug off the challenges posed by washdown procedures in food & beverage or pharmaceutical applications or the relentless exposure found on marine vessels or mining equipment.
• Electrical Reliability: Options for various electrical connections, including rugged M12 connectors, and a range of electrical outputs (commonly voltage 0-5/10V or 4-20mA current loop) ensure seamless and robust integration into diverse control and monitoring systems. The 4-20mA output is particularly valued for its noise immunity over long cable runs common in industrial plants.
• Temperature Compensation: Sophisticated compensation circuitry ensures stable and accurate readings across a broad operating temperature range (-40°C to +125°C / -40°F to +257°F is typical), minimizing errors caused by ambient or process temperature variations.

Addressing Real-World Industrial Challenges

The UNIK5800-5900 pressure transducer isn’t just about specs; it solves tangible problems:

1. Harsh Environment Survival: In offshore oil & gas, exposure to salt spray, extreme temperatures, and high vibration is relentless. The sensor’s stainless steel housing, robust seals, and protected electronics ensure dependable operation under these punishing conditions. Similarly, in mining or construction equipment, resistance to shock and vibration is paramount.
2. Hygienic Processing: Industries like food, beverage, pharmaceuticals, and biotechnology demand the highest levels of cleanliness. The UNIK5800-5900’s polished, crevice-minimized stainless steel housing (often 316L grade) and smooth surfaces meet sanitary requirements. Its all-welded design eliminates potential leak paths inherent in sensors using O-rings or elastomeric seals, crucial for processes involving steam cleaning (CIP/SIP) or aggressive cleaning chemicals.
3. Chemical Compatibility: Processing aggressive fluids, solvents, or acids requires materials that won’t corrode or contaminate the process. The sensor’s wetted parts, typically 316L stainless steel, offer excellent resistance to a wide range of corrosive media, safeguarding both the sensor and the process integrity.
4. Reliable Process Control: Precise pressure control is essential for optimizing reaction yields in chemical plants, ensuring consistent filling levels in packaging lines, or maintaining correct lubrication pressures in heavy machinery. The high accuracy and long-term stability of the UNIK5800-5900 provide the reliable data needed for sophisticated automation systems to function optimally.
5. Reduced Downtime: Sensor failure often means unexpected process shutdowns and costly maintenance interventions. The inherent robustness and reliability of the UNIK5800-5900 series translate directly into increased uptime and lower total cost of ownership (TCO).
