Dwyer Submersible Level Transmitters: Unmatched Precision for Harsh Environments

Blog

When it comes to measuring liquid levels in harsh industrial environments, Dwyer Instruments’ PBLT2 and PBLTX submersible level transmitters stand out as industry leaders. With their robust design and exceptional reliability, these transmitters have become the go-to choice for facilities requiring precise level measurement in challenging applications.

The Heart of Durability: Advanced Design Features

What sets Dwyer submersible level transmitters apart is their thoughtful engineering. The piezoresistive sensing element is protected by a 316 SS housing with a large-diameter 316 SS diaphragm seal. This cage design isn’t just another feature – it’s a crucial defense against floating solids that could otherwise compromise measurement accuracy or damage the sensor.

The PBLT2 series showcases Dwyer’s commitment to longevity with its dual arrestor technology for lightning and surge protection. This demonstrates Dwyer’s understanding of real-world challenges where power surges and lightning strikes can threaten sensitive instrumentation.

Precision Meets Performance

With an impressive accuracy rating of ±0.25% full scale (including linearity, hysteresis, and repeatability), these transmitters deliver the precision that modern industrial processes demand. The fast 50ms response time ensures real-time monitoring, while the wide operating temperature range (-18 to 93°C for PBLT2) makes them suitable for diverse applications.

Built for Demanding Applications

Dwyer submersible level transmitters excel in some of industry’s most challenging environments:

  • Wastewater treatment facilities
  • Sludge pits and digesters
  • Chemical storage tanks
  • Oil storage applications
  • Lime slurry processing
  • Industrial sumps and reservoirs

The transmitters’ polyether polyurethane or ETFE cables boast a 270-pound tensile strength, providing exceptional durability. A maintenance-free filter prevents particulate and water droplet infiltration, ensuring consistent performance even in the harshest conditions.

Safety and Compliance

The PBLTX series carries impressive safety credentials, including cULus intrinsically safe certification for hazardous locations. With ATEX certification (II 1 G Ex ia IIC T4 Ga and II 1 D Ex ia IIIC T135C Da), these transmitters meet stringent international safety standards for explosive environments.

Installation Flexibility

Installation versatility is another hallmark of Dwyer’s design philosophy. Users can choose between rigid NPT connection mounting or utilize the A-625 hanging loop with chain attachment for easy removal and maintenance. This flexibility, combined with a standard 72-hour lead time, minimizes downtime and installation challenges.

Cost of Ownership Advantage

The combination of durable construction, chemical compatibility, and minimal maintenance requirements translates to an exceptionally low total cost of ownership. The robust design elements – from the non-clogging diaphragm seal to the shielded and vented cable – work together to maximize service life and reduce maintenance intervals.

Quality You Can Trust

For decades, Dwyer Instruments has maintained its position as a leading manufacturer of precision instrumentation. Their submersible level transmitters reflect this heritage of quality, backed by rigorous testing and comprehensive certification. Every unit undergoes thorough quality control to ensure consistent performance and reliability.
