EPR 8283

RAILWAY PRESSURE
TRANSMITTER
Swiss based Trafag is a leading international supplier of high quality
sensors and monitoring instruments for measurement of pressure
and temperature. The EPR pressure transmitter was specifically de-
signed for the high demand of the railway industry and offers reliable
and accurate pressure measurement over a wide temperature range.
Its excellent long-term stability is based on the leading thin-film-on-
steel sensor technology from Trafag.
