Taylor 506TB Electronic Pressure Transmitter 2500 PSIG MWP

The Taylor 506TB is an industrial-grade electronic pressure transmitter designed for measuring pressure in various industrial processes. It converts the pressure measurement into an electrical signal, which is then transmitted to control systems, displays, or monitoring equipment for further analysis. The transmitter uses a sensor (typically a piezo-resistive or capacitive sensor) to detect pressure changes, and this signal is then processed electronically for precise output.

Key Features and Specifications:

1. Pressure Range:

   • The 506TB model is designed for high-pressure applications, with a maximum working pressure (MWP) of 2500 PSIG (Pounds per Square Inch Gauge). This means it can handle pressure levels up to 2500 PSI (gauge pressure) without being damaged or compromised.

2. Accuracy:

   • Taylor’s transmitters are known for their high accuracy in providing pressure readings. The accuracy of the 506TB is typically within 0.1% to 0.25% of full-scale range, depending on the exact model and configuration. This allows for reliable performance in critical applications.

3. Output Signal:

   • The transmitter usually provides an analog output, such as 4-20 mA, which is a standard in industrial control systems. Some models may also have digital outputs like HART protocol, Modbus, or Fieldbus for advanced communication with PLCs (Programmable Logic Controllers) or other automation systems.

4. Media Compatibility:

   • The Taylor 506TB is designed to work with a wide range of fluids and gases, but it’s important to choose the right materials for compatibility with the process media (e.g., chemical resistance, high-temperature tolerance). Common applications include water, steam, oils, chemicals, or gases in industrial processes.

5. Material Construction:

   • The materials used in the construction of the 506TB transmitter typically include stainless steel or other corrosion-resistant alloys, ensuring durability and reliability in harsh environments. The wetted parts (those that come in contact with the process fluid) are made from materials suitable for the specific application and media.

6. Temperature Range:

   • The operating temperature range of the Taylor 506TB is typically around -40°F to 185°F (-40°C to 85°C), but this can vary depending on the specific configuration and sensor used. Some models may be designed for higher or lower temperature ranges, which is important in applications with extreme conditions.

7. Environmental Protection:

   • The 506TB pressure transmitter often has IP67 or higher ingress protection (IP) ratings, which means it is dust-tight and can withstand submersion in water up to a certain depth. This makes it suitable for outdoor, wet, or hazardous environments.

8. Electrical Connections:

   • The transmitter typically uses cable or conduit connections, with options like 1/2-inch NPT threads for easy integration into piping systems. The electrical connections will usually support 24 VDC for the operation of the transmitter.

9. Applications:

   • The 506TB transmitter is used in a variety of industries, including:
     • Oil and gas
     • Water treatment
     • Pharmaceuticals
     • Chemical processing
     • HVAC systems
     • Power plants
   • It is ideal for applications where high pressure monitoring and control are crucial, such as in hydraulic systems, pressure vessels, pipelines, and boilers.

10. Calibration and Configuration:

    • The Taylor 506TB may come with field calibration options or remote calibration via digital communication (for models with HART or other digital protocols). This allows for easy adjustments to ensure the transmitter remains accurate and reliable throughout its lifespan.
