The CS12 Submersible Pressure Transducer is the ideal solution for continuous liquid level measurement. This transducer is engineered using 304 or 316L stainless steel construction, corrosion resistant ETFE cable jacket, and a Nylon strain relief for maximum versatility in a wide range of applications. The CS12 can also be utilised for non-submersible applications where flooding is a concern. 100 PSI is the maximum pressure rating for submersion however for non-submersible applications, the CS12 can be configured above 100 PSI, ensuring continuous pressure measurement even during flooding events. This pressure transducer is available with various outputs, an accuracy of โ‰คยฑ0.25% BFSL and an operating temperature range of -40ยฐC to +85ยฐC.
