Technology:A sealed pressure transmitter is placed near or on the bottom of the tank.A stainless steel
pressure diaphragm within the pressure transmitter is exposed on one side to the application liquid.The

MaterialCompatibility
The LD31 / LD32 series is made of 316 Stainless Steel (316 SS), 316L Stainless Steel (316L SS) with a
cable of Polyurethane or Ethylene Tetrafluoroethylene (ETFE).The LD31 series has a bullet nose of
PolyvinylChloride
(PVC).
Make sure that the switch is compatible with the application liquids.To determine the chemical
compatibility between the sensor and its application liquids, refer to the Compass Corrosion Guide,
