4.0 Pressure Sensor Installation:
The SciPres Disposable pressure sensors are flow-through devices, and are
available in 5 different sizes. Luer units ship with the FilterTec Plus under
normal situations, but they are available in 3/8” and 1/2” hose barb, as well
as 3/4” and 1.0” Ladish TC styles.
CAUTION: Make sure you have secured all of the connecting tubing for the pressure sensors
with Nylon cable ties. At least one of the pressure sensors and tubing are located at the high-
pressure side of your filtration system!
The SciPres Disposable Pressure Sensors plug into telephone jack connections on the rear
panel of the FilterTec Plus with the cables provided. The connections are labeled “P1”, “P2”
and “P3” for ease of use. When testing filter trains, all three sensors can be monitored at the
same time.
The SciPres Disposable pressure sensors are easy to change when the need arises, and are
readily available from Parker in packs of 5. They may be sanitized using several methods, CIP
with NaOH or alcohol, autoclaved up to twice, or gamma irradiated. (Only those with grey rings
around the connector are gamma stable.)
