Features
Models designed for use in oil or gas space
100% tested for pressure rate release point
Protection and detection of dangerous sudden pressure changes
Devices calibrated to quickly alarm or trip during rapid pressure rise changes
Actuation only occurs based on rate of pressure rise and will not occur under normal pressure variations caused by temperature change and vibration
Can be subjected to full vacuum or 20 psi positive pressure without damage
Standard operation from -40 to 180°F ( -40 to 82°C)
Special units available for operation at -67°F (-55°C)
100% factory calibrated and tested to ensure performance
Units are serialized and calibration records maintained
Factory tested for switch (contact) performance and response
Field test kit available for simple GO/NO-GO test to assure proper functionality of the device
Multiple mounting and calibration options for gas or oil applications
Flange or thread mounting options available for vertical or horizontal mounting
Models calibrated for proper response in gas or oil space applications
From the original creator of mechanical rapid pressure rise relays
Original creator of patented bellows technology for mechanical rapid pressure rise detection
Over 25 years of experience and refinement in rapid pressure rise protection with greater than 100000 units installed

Applications
For transformer and other electrical apparatus protection. Device sends an alarm when a dangerous sudden pressure rise condition has occurred. This alarm can be used to trip the transformer offline preventing further damage or purely as an indicator of an event.
