HM Series — Ceramic Sensor Technology
HM23Y Oilfield & Mining Well Pressure Transmitter
Ceramic sensor technology rated to 220 MPa and 120°C, with anti-clogging flush diaphragm design — purpose-built for viscous media, slurry environments, and high-vibration oilfield well measurement applications.
Product Overview
The HM23Y is specifically engineered for the extreme conditions encountered in oilfield drilling, well measurement, and mining operations. Unlike conventional pressure transmitters that can clog in slurry-laden environments, the HM23Y uses European-manufactured ceramic pressure sensor technology (AL2O3 or 17-4PH membrane) to provide reliable measurement even with viscous, particulate-heavy media.
With a measurement range extending to 220 MPa and operating temperature up to 120°C, the HM23Y handles the high-pressure, high-temperature conditions typical of deep well operations. Its fully stainless steel cylindrical construction withstands intense vibration and shock, while the compact 250 g form factor enables direct process installation in space-constrained downhole tooling.
Technical Specifications
Key Features
Anti-Clogging Ceramic Sensor
European-manufactured AL2O3 ceramic or 17-4PH membrane withstands viscous, slurry-laden media without clogging — critical for oilfield drilling mud and mining slurry measurement.
Ultra-High Pressure Range
Measurement up to 220 MPa covers even the deepest high-pressure well operations, with 2× overload protection for field safety.
Extended Temperature Range
Operates from -40°C to +120°C with low temperature drift (±0.02% FS/°C), ensuring stable readings in hot downhole environments.
Rugged Cylindrical Design
Fully stainless steel construction withstands extreme vibration (25 g sine) and shock common in drilling and well operations. Compact 250 g for direct process installation.
High Accuracy
Up to ±0.1% FS overall accuracy with ±0.02% FS thermal hysteresis, delivering reliable data for critical well pressure monitoring decisions.
Hazardous Area Certified
Optional Ex ia II CT5 intrinsically safe certification for deployment in explosive atmospheres typical of petroleum and mining environments.
