Product Help
FKM seal in seawater
Are the fluoroelastomer FKM seals resistant to seawater?
Yes the option for FKM seals used in the construction of the DMK457 are compatible with seawater.
TS0 vs TT0 cable gland options
What is the difference between the TR0 and TS0 submersible options?
TR0 is a IP68 rated cable gland but it is not intended for deep permanent submersible applications, but more for cleaning & flood protection.
The TS0 is a more robust IP68 cable gland suitable for continuous submersible applications to a depth of 250 metres.
Vibration
Can the DMK457 withstand vibration?
Yes the DMK457 is designed to withstand 4g level of vibration as part of the marine approval according to GL: curve 2, according to DNV: Class B and basis: IEC 60068-2-6.

Difference between TTO and TRO IP68 cable gland
The DMK457 marine approved pressure transmitter has two types of IP68 rated cable gland TRO and TTO? what is the difference between these two types?
The TRO version is designed for temporary submersion to protect from flooding or wash down and has been test to 4 bar over 24 hours.
The TT0 version is designed for permanent submersion and is suitable to install in depths down to at least 250 mH2O ~ 25 bar.
Dredger suction monitoring
We are looking for a pressure sensor for dredger suction monitoring. It will be mounted on a 50mm branch pipe off the main dredge suction pipe. The sensor will be subject to vibration and there will be sand and gravel in the dredge pipe?
The DMK 457 has the option to measure suction pressure with a 0 to minus 1 bar gauge, and a open pressure port design to prevent clogging whilst protecting the diaphragm from direct abrasion due perpendicular flow.

Mooring connection depth
We have a mooring connection that is underwater all the time. We want to know the position of this mooring connection within the range it moves vertically from the sea bed to the surface where it connects. The depth we will be working in is 50 metres and the idea is to install this sensor somewhere on the mooring connection to measure this. The sensor body will be located inside the mooring connection in a dry environment, just the sensing part will be exposed to seawater all the time. What would be a suitable spec for us to use?
The DMK 457 can be manufactured so that the whole construction is compatible with seawater, so it will be protected from seawater on the inside and the outside of the mooring connection, which maybe useful if there is a risk of seawater leaks or flooding.
