Deltabar FMD78 - Differential Pressure
The Deltabar FMD78 differential pressure transmitter with metal sensor uses two capillary diaphragm seals.
Typically used in process and hygiene applications for continuous measurement of pressure differences in liquids,
vapors, gases and dusts. The integrated HistoROM data module makes the management of process and device
parameters easy. Designed according to IEC 61508 for use in SIL3 safety applications.
