Huba Control Type 520 — High-Pressure Transmitter, Up to 1000 bar

The Type 520 is built on Huba Control's thick-film sensing technology inside a hermetically welded, seal-free stainless steel measuring cell — eliminating the O-ring or profile-seal leak path found in many transmitter designs. It covers relative pressure from -1 to 1000 bar, is compatible with liquids, gases and refrigerants including ammonia, and carries EN 50155 / EN 45545-2 railway approval alongside ATEX, IECEx and UL certifications — making it suited to industrial, HVAC/refrigeration and safety-critical railway applications.

Why a Hermetically Welded Cell Matters

Conventional pressure transmitters seal the sensing element to the process connection with an O-ring or profile seal — a joint that can degrade over time, especially with aggressive media, high cycling, or extreme temperatures, creating a potential leak path. The Type 520's measuring cell is instead hermetically welded shut, removing that seal entirely. Combined with a thick-film sensing element rated to 1000 bar, this makes it a strong fit for high-pressure hydraulic systems, refrigerant circuits (including ammonia, which is aggressive toward many elastomer seals), and any application where seal failure is not an acceptable risk.

FAQs

Type 520 — Frequently Asked Questions

Why is a hermetically welded design better for high pressure?

A welded, seal-free measuring cell removes the O-ring or profile-seal joint that can degrade under repeated pressure cycling or aggressive media — reducing the risk of leakage over the transmitter's service life, which matters more as pressure and duty cycle increase.

Is the Type 520 suitable for ammonia refrigeration systems?

Yes, the Type 520 is compatible with common refrigerants including ammonia, making it suitable for industrial refrigeration and cold-storage applications — confirm your specific medium with us during consultation.

What does EN 45545-2 railway approval mean?

EN 45545-2 is the European fire protection standard for railway vehicles; a component holding this approval, alongside EN 50155, has been assessed as suitable for use in railway rolling-stock applications.
