CS54 Series
Compact wet/wet differential pressure transducer for Class I, Division 2 applications from 14″ water column DP (0.5 PSID) featuring 4-20mA or voltage outputs.
**Disclaimer: Unless otherwise agreed in writing, Core Sensors products are not authorized for use in applications including medical devices, life support systems, in-flight aerospace, nuclear or any other application where the product failure could result in personal injury or death.
Wet / Wet – From 0.5 to 1,000 PSID
The CS54 Non-Incendive Differential Pressure Transducer is a high strength sensor designed for differential pressure measurements of liquids and gases in Class I, Division 2 hazardous locations. A 316L SS oil-filled sensor element provides excellent stability over a wide operating temperature range while offering corrosion resistance against various liquids and gases. Differential pressure ranges from less than 1 PSI and up to 1,000 PSI are available with 1/4″ MNPT or FNPT process connections.
Caution must be taken when installing and operating the CS54 in known Class I, Division 2 hazardous locations. Please review the Non-Incendive Operating Instructions prior to installation.
No Conduit Installation Required!
In an effort to simplify installation in Class I, Division 2 hazardous locations, the CS54 Non-Incendive Differential Pressure Transducer is offered with an integral Turck Minifast electrical connection.
When combined with a CSA Division 2 approved Turck cordset and a Turck Lokfast Guard, there is no requirement for conduit to be installed over the cable*. This not only makes installation easy but also makes switching out sensors less cumbersome. Core Sensors can supply all components as a complete package.

* Core Sensors recommends confirming hazardous location installation requirements with your local inspector as each installation is unique.

Standard lead time is typically two to three weeks with expedites available. Contact us with the pressure range, output and cable length required.
Operates from a 3–5VDC unregulated supply consuming ≤3mA. Ideal for IoT, remote monitoring, and battery-powered systems. Use Output Signal option “8” when creating a model number.
*Accuracy includes non-linearity, hysteresis and non-repeatability
**Max line pressure is the highest common mode pressure that can be applied to the sensor without damage.
***Overpressure and burst pressure are the maximum differential pressure that can be applied to the high or low side before damage to the sensor will occur.
*IP Rating is dependent on electrical termination selected. Contact factory for more information.

The following accessories are recommended for use with the CS54 Non-Incendive Differential Pressure Transducer.

Turck Minifast Cordset
The Turck Minifast cordset connects the sensor to the display/data acquisition instrumentation and transmits the output signal.

Minifast Lockfast Lockout Device
Part No. 00818-00
The Lokfast guard is placed over the connection between the pressure transducer and the Turck Minifast cordset, locking the connection in place.

1/4″ SAE Female Schrader to NPT Adapter
Part No. 01534-00
The 1/4” SAE Female Schrader to NPT Adapter is a versatile adapter enabling the installation of a pressure transducer onto a process line with a male 1/4″ SAE 45° Flare Schrader valve connection without the need for a depressor pin to be previously installed in the process port of the transducer.

Cooling Adapter / Finned Siphon
Part No. 00449-00
For applications with extreme media temperatures that exceed the rating of the pressure transducer, Core Sensors offers an all 316L SS pressure sensor cooling adapter.
View Accessory →Core Sensors offers flexible payment options for both new and established customers.
A non-incendive device is designed so that, under normal operating conditions, it cannot generate enough electrical energy (arcing or thermal) to ignite a surrounding flammable atmosphere. Non-incendive ratings are only valid for Division 2 (or Zone 2) locations, where a hazardous atmosphere is present only under abnormal conditions — not for Division 1/Zone 1 areas where it's present continuously or intermittently. For intrinsically safe and explosion-proof differential pressure measurement, view the CS84 and CS64 respectively.
The Minifast electrical connection allows plug-and-play installation in non-incendive environments when installed with an approved cordset and lockout device. The sensor's mechanical installation and the wiring can be installed independently and then plugged together. This type of connection also simplifies removal of the differential pressure transducer during any maintenance.
The lockout device provides a warning to not disconnect the electrical connection when the sensor is powered/energized. It can be removed with a flathead screwdriver.
316L is compatible with a variety of liquids and gases from potable water to oil and natural gas. It is a common sensor material with excellent mechanical properties and chemical compatibility. The CS54 is designed for the measurement of liquids and gases and is configured as a wet/wet differential pressure transducer. Core Sensors does offer Hastelloy C276 material for more corrosive liquids and gases that have chlorides or high H2S content.
Both — filtration DP monitoring (tracking a filter's pressure drop to know when it needs servicing) and flow-related differential measurement are the two primary use cases the CS54 is built around. The combination of low-differential pressure accuracy and high static line pressure tolerance is what makes it work for both.
