TEK-SUB 4800A SERIES PTFE SUBMERSIBLE LEVEL TRANSMITTER - OVERVIEW
by Tek-Trol
Designed for continuous submersion in aggressive fluids, it uses a rugged ceramic pressure sensor encased in PTFE (aka Teflon) housing that provides excellent corrosion resistance in most fluids. You can choose between two internal O-ring seals: FKM (also known as Viton) for applications below 200°C and FFKM (perfluoroelastomer) for applications from 200°C to 325°C/617°F. The FFKM seals offer improved chemical resistance and nearly universal chemical compatibility.
The sensor facilitates simple installation, easy cleaning, and years of trouble-free service with almost no maintenance. The device guarantees stability and reliability in harsh environments. The Tek-Sub 4800A operates on 12-36 VDC power, with available outputs of 4-20 mA, 0.5–4.5 VDC, or RS-485.
Wetted Materials:
- Ceramic pressure sensor design with PTFE (Teflon) housing
- Choice of O-ring seals:
- FKM: Fluorinated, carbon-based synthetic rubber, commonly known as fluoroelastomer. Its impressive heat resistance allows FKM seals to withstand temperatures greater than 200°C. FKM also exhibits extraordinary levels of resistance to high pressures, chemicals, and other fluids—including several fuels.
- FFKM: Perfluoroelastomer, contains higher amounts of fluorine than standard FKM, resulting in higher temperature ratings (up to approximately 325°C/617°F) and improved chemical resistance with nearly universal chemical compatibility. This combination of high-performance capabilities makes FFKM seals the premium choice for the industry’s most demanding applications.
