P500
Description
The P500 incorporates Kavlico’s 4th
generation ceramic capacitive sense
element with the latest state-of-the-art ASIC.
Available in brass or stainless steel housings,
this multi-purpose sensor is rugged by
design. Highly reliable, the P500 is ideal for
measuring a broad range of process media
including hydrocarbon based fluids, air, and
gases.
The P500 package has a built-in Metri-Pack
150 series sealed
electrical connector and is
available with popular pressure connection
thread options. The sensor is offered
with seal materials suitable for diverse
applications. Standard pressure ranges are
available in PSI or Bar.
