(NewTek: Pennsauken, NJ) -- NewTek has introduced the NT-HL-750 series of intrinsically safe LVDT position sensors, which are approved for use in hazardous and explosive environments. These displacement sensors are designed to operate safely and accurately in corrosive environments where flammable or ignitable gases and liquids are present.

The hazardous location position sensors are ideal for providing position feedback in pipeline monitoring, LNG storage tanks, oilfield equipment, petrochemical process control, gas turbines, and power generation.

The NT-HL-750 LVDTs are built with a stainless-steel construction and a welded, 3/4 in. hermetically sealed housing, making them rugged and robust as well as shock and vibration tolerant. Without onboard electronics that can fail in hostile conditions, these AC-operated LVDTs offer long-term and accurate operation in hard-to-access, hostile locations.

Sensors are approved by Intertek Testing Labs to carry the ETL hazardous-location markings for use in Class 1, Zone 0, and Zone 2 areas. Intrinsically safe position sensors can only be used in Zone 0 locations.
