UNIK 5800/5900
Flameproof/Explosion-Proof
Pressure Sensing Platform
The 5800 and 5900 are compact and rugged
versions of the high performance UNIK 5000
pressure sensing platform offering both flameproof/
explosion-proof or dust ignition protection by
enclosure capability as required. They provide a
lightweight and cost effective alternative to pressure
gauges and switches in process and in oil and gas
industry applications.

High Quality Features

With 35 years of pressure measurement experience,
• Ranges from 3.5 bar (51 psi) to 700 bar (10,000 psi)
our field-proven Druck silicon technology is at the
heart of the new platform, resulting in a range of
• Accuracy to ±0.04% Full Scale (FS) Best Straight
high quality, high stability pressure sensors.
Line (BSL)

Bespoke as Standard • Stainless Steel construction

Custom-built from standard components, • Integrated terminal compartment with long or

manufacturing sensors to your requirement is fast short body (5900)
and simple; each UNIK 5000 is a “bespoke” pressure
sensing solution, but with the short lead times and • Frequency response to 3.5 kHz
competitive pricing you would expect from standard
products. • High over pressure capability

Expertise • Hazardous Area certifications

We have the people and the knowledge to support • mV, mA and voltage outputs
your needs for accurate and reliable product
performance; our team of experts can help you
make the right sensor selection, guiding you
and providing the help and tools you need. It is
important that you ensure that the sensor materials
and performance selected are suitable for your
application.
