Neodyn 160P NEMA 4X, 7, 9 and 13 Differential Pressure Switch

Neodyn 160P NEMA 4X, 7, 9 and 13 Differential Pressure Switch is a mid-range, adjustable instrument engineered for critical monitoring in hazardous or explosive environments. This rugged switch features a hermetically sealed, explosion-proof electrical assembly, ensuring safe operation even in the most volatile atmospheres.

Description

Neodyn 160P NEMA 4X, 7, 9 and 13 Differential Pressure Switch delivers superior performance where safety and precision cannot be compromised. Designed to meet stringent industry standards, it combines a weather-proof and explosion-proof enclosure with a high-fidelity sensing element.

Nega-Rate® Sensing Technology The core advantage of the 160P is its use of the Nega-Rate® Belleville disc spring. This mechanism ensures that the switch actuates with a snap-action response, providing stable set points regardless of vibration or temperature fluctuations. It is specifically designed to maintain accuracy during dynamic system pressure changes, protecting your equipment from dangerous over-pressure or under-pressure conditions.

Hazardous Location Protection Engineered for extreme environments, the electrical assembly is hermetically sealed and explosion-proof. This design meets NEMA 4X, 7, 9, and 13 standards, offering comprehensive protection against corrosion, explosive gases, combustible dusts, and moisture ingress. This makes it suitable for installation in chemical plants, refineries, and offshore platforms.

Secure Field Adjustment To prevent unauthorized or accidental changes, the 160P features a concealed wrench flat adjustment mechanism. A clear range scale allows maintenance personnel to calibrate the switch precisely, ensuring the differential pressure limits are set exactly to process specifications.
