Model 230

True Wet-to-Wet Differential

Pressure Transducer

The Model 230 is Setra’s highest accuracy solution for monitoring

differential pressure in wet-to-wet applications. Its single diaphragm
design enables a true wet-to-wet differential pressure measurement
with superior ±0.25% FS accuracy compared to competitive units
which calculate differential pressure using two single point pressure
sensors. The stainless steel capacitive sensor provides a highly accu-
rate, linear analog output proportional to the pressure over a wide
temperature range. The 230 is offered with an optional 3 or 5 valve
machined brass manifold for ease of installation and maintenance.

Avoid Line Pressure w/ Single Diaphragm Sensor

Unlike the competition, the 230 is a true wet-to-wet sensor with a
single diaphragm construction. The differential pressure range of a
single diaphragm is not impacted by line pressure whereas dual dif-
ferential pressure sensors require the individual sensors to measure n Single Diaphragm Design
gauge pressure, comparing the outputs to determine the differential
pressure. n All Stainless Steel Capacitive Sensor
n 3 or 5 Valve Manifold Assembly Options
Increase the Sensors Response Time
The 230 utilizes an all stainless steel capacitive sensor which responds
20x faster than oil filled sensors and provides conditioned electronic
