Ultra EnergyIndustriesNuclear PowerSensor Offering for Nuclear PowerPressure Transmitters for Nuclear PowerDTC3 – Absolute and Gauge Pressure Transmitter

DTC3 – Absolute and Gauge Pressure Transmitter

The DTC3® is the latest analog pressure transmitter designed for non-safety nuclear applications and manufactured by Ultra Energy.  The Ultra Model DTC3® Analog Gauge and Absolute Pressure Transmitters provide precision pressure measurements in non-safety nuclear applications requiring reliable performance and functional safety. The DTC3® transmitter contains only analog electronics utilizing a diaphragm isolated direct-coupled strain gauge pressure sensor capsule. The DTC3® transmitter has been designed to replace the Rosemount™ 1151 Analog Pressure which was discontinued in 2011.
