Product catalog summary
Overview
The 1800 Series by Druck includes the PDCR 1800 transducer and the PTX 1800 transmitter, designed for hydrostatic liquid level measurement. These sensors are fully submersible and constructed from titanium, offering high performance and durability.

Features
  • Measurement ranges from 0.75 mH2O to 600 mH2O.
  • Accuracy of ±0.10% full scale (FS) best straight line (BSL).
  • Constructed with a 17.5 mm diameter titanium body.
  • Resistant to polyurethane and hydrocarbon.

Applications
  • Potable water level measurement in various water bodies.
  • Wastewater and remediation monitoring.
  • Tank level monitoring in storage vessels and ships.
  • Marine applications including tide gauging and flood protection.

Reliability and Data Quality
The sensors use advanced technology for reliable and accurate measurements. They feature a micromachined silicon element sealed in a titanium module, ensuring isolation from pressure media.
