XP2i digital test gauge

11-08-2009

The XP2i is weatherproof and corrosion resistant, making it an ideal solution for challenging environments. XP2i gauges include ATEX certification along with CSA and IECEx intrinsic safety certificates, standard and at no extra cost.

The XP2i has a 0.1% of reading accuracy specification - like a deadweight tester - but unlike a deadweight tester, it is not affected by ambient temperature (or local gravity). Because the rating is "of reading" - down to 20% of the range, one XP2i can replace three or more comparable gauges, and even more mechanical gauges of any rating.

All XP2i gauges are CE certified and are manufactured under a ISO 9001 registered quality system. Crystal Engineering is an ISO/IEC 17025:2005 accredited calibration laboratory, and all gauges are supplied with internationally accepted calibration reports.

Since XP2i gauges are calibrated in test fixtures inside of environmental chambers, calibration reports include test data at 5 temperatures, proving that each and every gauge meets or exceeds specifications, not only at room temperature, but throughout the operating temperature range.

The XP2i is one of the most popular digital pressure gauges for natural gas transmission and distribution, at nuclear power stations, refineries, offshore platforms, and on-board ships. 

One of the critical factors offshore is moisture penetration and corrosion. The new XP2i is designed with a new nickel-plated aluminum enclosure that is sealed to IP 67, making it capable of immersion in 1 meter of water for up to 30 minutes. Corrosion resistance is significantly improved, outperforming the previous stainless steel case in salt spray tests.

Another challenge with field installations is display readability. New features have been incorporated in the design of the new XP2i to address that. The new LCD window is 10% larger and the backlight is twice as bright (without using more battery power). The 2nd generation XP2i can still run for 1500 hours on only 3 AA batteries.
