Technical overview
The DPI differential-pressure transmitter from
Grundfos Direct Sensorsറ is designed for industrial
purposes.
The DPI transmitter is fully compatible with aqueous
media. The sensor is based on MEMS sensing
technology in combination with the corrosion-resistant
Silicoatp coating technology on the sensor chip.
This makes the DPI transmitter very robust and ideal
for pump integration and monitoring in harsh
environments.

Applications
