Mercury Free Series

Vertex - Mercury-free melt pressure sensor in a different type of construction.

Vertex Series

Dynisco’s Vertex melt pressure sensor innovation matches or exceeds the performance of the traditional sensor. The big differences are that Vertex is more robust, much faster, and significantly friendlier to the environment. The direct measurement tip is a simple and elegant design with a more robust diaphragm. Direct measurement of the process reduces errors that are transferred by complicated internal support structures, transmission fill materials, or moving pushrods. The diaphragm thickness is pressure range dependent and can be up to 7.5 times thicker than a traditional sensor. Add to these features, a diaphragm composition of Inconel 718 coated with the corrosion and abrasion resistant properties of Dymax® and experience the true definition of a robust sensor that has proven to increase the life of the sensor and significantly lowers the cost of ownership. Vertex design innovation also extends to the speed of response of the sensor. Faster processes and controls demand faster sensing measurements. Vertex is many times faster than traditional sensors improving real-time production.

Environmental regulations and community conscientiousness are driving sustainability policies and programs in large and small companies. Waste stream reduction and longer life cycles are good for the environment and the budget. There is no mercury, no NaK, no oil, no Gallium, no fill material what-soever. Vertex is also RoHS compliant. Vertex sensors are designed to work with universal pressure indicators. HART digital communication is available for more extensive diagnostics and remote configuration. An optional Type J or K thermocouple is available to provide a melt temperature signal as well as a 4-20 mA temperature output. Vertex is equipped with a 1/2-20 UNF for installation in standard transducer mounting holes. An adapter is also available to install 1/2-20 UNF units into a Button Seal application. A sealed welded shell and electrical connection are available if washdown capability is needed for food or medical applications (not available if thermocouple option TCx is selected).
