AST46SW Explosion-Proof Pressure Switch

Brand: American Sensor Technologies Inc
The Model 46SW is a high accuracy Explosion-proof Pressure Switch, designed for use in a variety of applications. 

Applying digital compensation, this product offers top performance over a wide temperature range. Utilizing Krystal Bond Technology™, the sensing element will measure pressure in the most extreme temperature conditions. 

Where other sensor technologies will freeze or boil, the AST46SW uses a one piece stainless steel sensor to offer continuous operation. If linearity and repeatability are critical for your application, this product will exceed your expectations at an affordable price.
