Industrial Pressure Sensors - Introducing the UNIK 5000 Series

The UNIK 5000 pressure sensor series is a high performance configurable solution for pressure measurement. The Druck silicon technology and analogue circuitry enables best in class performance for stability, low power and frequency response. The use of modular design and lean manufacturing techniques allow users to design the product required to their unique application requirements.

All UNIK sensors are configured specifically to your application requirement. Using proven Druck components the modular design process offers over 10,000 configurations to meet your specific needs – bringing accuracy, productivity and safety to a wide range of applications.

Sensors Built To Suit You

Three grades of performance: Industrial (+/-0.2% FS BSL), Improved (+/- 0.1% FS BSL) and Premium (+/- 0.04% FS BSL).
UNIK 5000 configured sensors can be built for most environments with operating temperature ranges from -55 °C to +125 °C.
IP (Nema 4) ratings - including up to permanent full submersion in both water and hydrocarbons, and high-grade stainless steel construction with a new option of titanium for specialist applications.
Druck UNIK 5000 pressure sensor Configured options for intrinsically safe, and explosion-proof/flameproof, mining and marine certifications, through IECEx/ATEX and FM FMc and DNV.
Excellent, reliable and cost effective performance in the most hazardous environments, with the security of the right certification, for both the application and your region.
With broad pressure range operation from 70 mbar (1psi) to 700 bar (10,000 psi) UNIK 5000 is referenced to gauge, and absolute with both wet/dry and wet/wet differential options.
UNIK 5000 configured sensors can be built for most environments with operating over temperature ranges from -55°C to +125°C (-67°F to 257°F).

The UNIK 5000 has multiple options: voltage, millivolts, and milliamps. Choose the option for your application depending on what matters to you, be it; noise immunity, long cable runs, reduced power consumption, and a fully configurable option to exactly match your existing equipment.

UNIK 5600/5700 Marine Certified Pressure Sensing Platform

The UNIK 5600 is designed for use on all a ship’s power and process plant, and particularly for turbine engine monitoring of exhaust, lubricating oil and fuel pressure. It features a DIN-approved electrical connector to,ensure that contact with oil will not damage sealing and is IP65 rated to provide protection against the ingress of dust and splash water.

The UNIK 5700 has been designed for on-board tank-level measurement and control, for ballast, fresh water, sea gauge and fuel tanks. It is manufactured in high grade stainless steel for rust inhibition and is rated IP68 for protection against dust and water ingress down to 700m.

The new UNIK 5600/5700 carries marine certification for most zones on-board ship, as well as Intrinsically Safe certifications. Marine approval means UNIK 5000 complies with International standards, regulations and Marine Law.

UNIK 5600 Marine Certified Pressure Sensing PlatformFEATURES:

Ranges from 70 mbar (1 psi) to 700 bar (10,000 psi).
4-20 mA output.
