UK-based sensor and instrumentation specialist Impress Sensors and Systems has become an official distributor of Ashdown Control products.
Ashdown Control's product portfolio strengthens Impress Sensors and Systems's range of instrumentation and sensor products, which includes: sensors for pressure, temperature, level and distance measurement; process controllers; process indicators; data logging and recording systems; calibration equipment; and SIL2- and ATEX-approved products.
Ashdown Control - a pressure instrumentation specialist based in Folkestone, Kent - designs and manufactures a range of linear variable differential transformer (LVDT)-based pressure instrumentation products for the measurement of pressure, level and flow.
These sensors are used in nuclear installations, submersible applications and hygienic environments, as well as standard industrial installations and applications for leak detection.
Sam Drury, sales and marketing director at Impress Sensors and Systems, said: 'Becoming an agent for Ashdown products means that Impress can now offer its customers LVDT-based pressure sensors for process, heavy industrial and nuclear applications as a complement to our existing product range.
'Ashdown Control sensors offer excellent long-term stability and repeatability and are designed to withstand exposure to radiation, high temperatures and extremely high over-pressures.' As well as offering Ashdown Control's range of standard pressure transmitters, Impress can also supply flush-diaphragm pressure transmitters for hygienic applications that have no oil fill, such as food processing.
A range of differential transmitters is also available, from 0.2mbar up to 16bar.
This range includes wet/wet and dry types in both flange mount and a round housing.
There is also a large range of submersible-level transmitters for standard applications, as well as flush-diaphragm types for dirty and viscous liquids.
A rigid-pole version is also provided for fixed installations, such as liquid-level measurement in tanks, where a standard cable suspended device is not suitable.
Pressure, differential pressure and level transducers are also available for applications where the measurement sensor has to be mounted remotely from the signal-conditioning electronics.
Smart electronics are available on all product types, which means that the sensors can offer up to 10:1 turndown ratios on the instrument maximum range.
The customer can adjust the zero and full-scale output setting without affecting the performance of the sensor.
Drury said: 'Custom designs include the use of exotic materials such as titanium and Hastelloy for the wetted materials, the design of special flanges and coated diaphragms.'.
