Two Versatile Pressure Transmitters for Industrial and OEM Applications: Meet the GS4600 and GS4700

Not every pressure measurement application calls for the same solution. Some systems need flexibility and a choice of configurations, while others need a compact transmitter that can fit neatly into an OEM design. From monitoring machinery and pneumatic equipment to integrating pressure sensing into OEM products, the right pressure transmitter needs to be accurate, reliable and practical.

Among ESI Technology’s range of pressure measurement solutions are the GS4600 and GS4700, two versatile transmitters designed for a variety of industrial and OEM applications.

Both transmitters provide dependable pressure measurement for a wide range of applications. However, each has its own strengths. The GS4600 offers flexibility for general industrial applications, while the compact GS4700 is particularly well suited to OEM equipment and applications where space is limited.

Let’s take a closer look at what makes each one useful.

GS4600: Flexible Pressure Measurement for Industry

The GS4600 General Industrial Pressure Transmitter is designed to provide reliable pressure measurement across a broad range of industrial applications.

It can measure absolute, gauge and vacuum pressure, with pressure ranges from 0.5 to 100 bar. Its piezoresistive silicon sensor technology provides dependable performance, while an accuracy of up to ±0.30% of span BFSL makes it suitable for many general industrial measurement requirements.

One of the GS4600’s biggest strengths is its flexibility.

The transmitter is available with a choice of output signals, including 4-20 mA, 0-5 VDC and 0-10 VDC. A range of electrical connection options is also available, including DIN, M12 and cable outlet configurations.

This makes it easier to specify a GS4600 to suit the requirements of an existing system or new installation.

Where can the GS4600 be used?

The GS4600 is a practical choice for applications where dependable pressure measurement and configuration flexibility are important.

Potential applications include:

• Industrial process monitoring
• Machine engineering
• Pneumatic systems
• Environmental engineering
• Wastewater management
• Recycling and renewable energy systems
• OEM equipment
• General pressure monitoring

Its ability to measure vacuum as well as positive pressure also makes the GS4600 useful in systems where pressure conditions can vary significantly.

For engineers looking for a versatile pressure transmitter that can adapt to different installation and signal requirements, the GS4600 provides a straightforward solution.

GS4700: Compact Pressure Measurement for OEM Applications

The GS4700 Compact OEM Pressure Transmitter has been developed with a slightly different priority: delivering reliable pressure measurement in a compact package.

With pressure ranges from 0.5 to 100 bar, the GS4700 is suitable for measuring both absolute and gauge pressure. Like the GS4600, it uses piezoresistive silicon sensor technology and is designed for use with fluids and gases compatible with stainless steel.

Its compact, lightweight construction makes it particularly useful when pressure measurement needs to be integrated into a machine or piece of equipment without taking up unnecessary space.

For OEM manufacturers, that can be a significant advantage.

When a pressure transmitter is being designed into a larger product, available space can be limited. The GS4700 provides pressure measurement without demanding a large installation footprint, making it a useful option for equipment manufacturers and machine builders.

Where can the GS4700 be used?

The GS4700 is well suited to applications where compact design and straightforward integration are important.

Potential applications include:

• OEM equipment
• Industrial automation
• Machine building
• Hydraulic systems
• Pneumatic equipment
• Mobile machinery
• Automotive applications
• General industrial pressure monitoring

Its combination of compact construction, configurable options and reliable pressure measurement makes it a particularly useful choice for manufacturers developing their own equipment.

Choosing the Right Pressure Transmitter for the Application

The GS4600 and GS4700 demonstrate that there is no single approach to pressure measurement.

Sometimes an application needs a highly flexible general-purpose pressure transmitter that can accommodate different pressure references, outputs and connections. In these situations, the GS4600 can provide the versatility required.

Other applications place greater emphasis on compact integration, particularly when a transmitter needs to become part of an OEM machine or product. Here, the GS4700 offers a practical solution where space is at a premium.

Neither approach is better than the other. The important thing is matching the transmitter to the requirements of the application.

Reliable Pressure Measurement from ESI Technology

Both the GS4600 and GS4700 are part of ESI Technology’s range of pressure measurement solutions, designed to provide dependable performance across a wide variety of industries and applications.

With pressure ranges extending to 100 bar, stainless steel construction and piezoresistive silicon sensing technology, they offer reliable options for engineers looking for straightforward industrial pressure measurement.

Whether you are monitoring pressure within an existing industrial system or designing pressure measurement into a new piece of equipment, the GS4600 and GS4700 offer two practical routes to reliable results.
