Dresser Instrument Division combines the proven polysilicon thin film transmitter technology with its longtime know-how of diaphragm seals to create the Ashcroft® KS Sanitary Pressure Transmitter. This all-welded stainless steel construction meets the 3A Sanitary Standard 74-02.

The KS Sanitary Pressure Transmitter introduces the benefits of polysilicon thin film performance at an affordable price. Modern low-pressure chemical vapor disposition methods provide simple, stable, molecular bonds between a proven metal diaphragm and polysilicon strain gage bridge. There are no epoxies or bonding agents to contribute to signal instability or drift.

The integral metal diaphragm and polysilicon bridge are virtually unaffected by shock, vibration or mounting position.
