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

cable.A difference in pressure between liquid and reference pressures will slightly deflect the diaphragm.
The deflection of the diaphragm is measured by a built‐in microprocessor that provides greater linearity

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,
