WECO “Hammer” Union Pressure Transmitters for Demanding Oilfield Environments

GP:50 Corporation LTD , an AS9100C and ISO9001 certified manufacturer of reliable pressure sensing instrumentation, has introduced its Model 170/270/370/570 WECO “Hammer” Union Series. This family of rugged pressure transmitters is designed and engineered to effectively address the demanding shock and vibration and installation challenges of the oilfield, as well as other harsh industrial environments. They further offer seamless mechanical compatibility with WECO 2” 1502, 2002, 2202, and 602 wing union fittings.
Series pressure transmitters are available in standard ranges from 0 to 1000 thru 0 to 20K PSI (69 thru 1,379 BAR), with standard accuracies of < ±0.25% FSO and an optional improved accuracy specification of < ±0.10% FSO. Their stainless steel housings and corrosion-resistant, high-strength fasteners provide years of reliable operation in tough environments. These pressure transmitters also incorporate a specialty case design that reduces the bothersome zero offset changes that can occur during installation. A unique “Connector Guard” recesses the connector and eliminates breakage risks. Typical applications include mud pump monitoring (measure while drilling), wellhead measurements, cementing, coiling tubing, fracking, choke and kill manifolds, and standpipe pressure measurements.
