These unique leaf style surface probes are designed for instant measurement of temperature on flat surfaces and offer special surface temperature probe capabilities. Their ultra low thermal mass and flexible construction make them ideal for rugged industrial applications. Their Type K thermocouple is compatible with all standard handheld digital thermometers.

In addition to the combination outfits for agricultural and turf soils, a selection of single parameter test kits is available for soil nutrients that may be of particular interest or a problem to the grower.

All OMEGA® soil test kits measure the portion of soil nutrients available for the plant to use. Since extraction not complete, the amount that is measured is relative and is dependent on the extraction procedure. Pounds per acre represents the number of pounds of soil in an acre down to the depth of 6-7 inches, and is = 2,000,000 lb.

Conversion from pounds per acre to parts per million is accomplished with the following formulas:

• ppm x 2 = lb/acre
• lb/acre x 0.5 = ppm

A number of variables must be considered when interpreting soil test results in addition to the values obtained. These variables include the composition of the soil, drainage, climate, previous fertilizer programs, and the type of plant to be grown. Samples must also be truly representative of the area being studied and must be carefully selected.

Penetration Probes with new “T”-style 304 stainless steel handle is ideal for industry use or frozen food applications. The probe’s 304SS thick wall tube ensures strong and rigid performance. Each probe comes with .3 m (1′) of RSC cable that stretches to 1.5 m (5′) and a male miniature connector.

The probe features a 6.4 mm (0.25″) dia., with a 250 mm (10″) insertion length from the tip to handle. The handle is 75 mm (3″) in length.

Maximum temp rating: 480°C (900°F) for type K, 425°C (800°F) for type E.

The OM-21 data logger is for use in cold chain applications to monitor the transportation of pharmaceuticals, food and other temperature sensitive products. The data logger is completely user-programmable including language selection, sampling interval, start delay, alarm delay, temperature units, alarm range, alarm type, password and user name.

The unit’s compact, lightweight, waterproof and flat design allows it to fit inside any package. No special software or driver is required for set-up or download of data. On completion of data logging a PDF report is automatically generated containing data summary, graph and tabular results. The data logger appears as a mass storage device when connected to the PC. User manual, set-up utility and PDF report are all stored in the data logger.

The PX709GW Series submersible level/depth transducers and transmitters are designed to make precision level or depth measurements in fresh water or liquids compatible with 316 SS reliably for years in harsh industrial environments. They are also ideal for environmental monitoring of job sites and field locations. their 25mm (1.0″) dia. fits most down hole well applications.

The PX709GW series has the proven Omega MicroMachined silicon technology as its core sensor. The Piezoresistive technology uses precision solid state strain gauges molecularly embedded into a highly stable silicon wafer. The silicon is mounted in a sealed chamber and protected from the environmental fluids by a pressure sensitive stainless steel diaphragm. A very small volume of silicone oil transfers the pressure from the diaphragm to the silicon sensor. The cable is molded onto the case using a unique high pressure, high temperature system to assure the best possible quality seal for long life and durability. This technology produces a very rugged, high stability sensor with exceptional accuracy, minimal thermal effects and long term reliability.

Weatherproof enclosures are also available to easily terminate your transmitter at your control location. The enclosures have fittings to hold the desiccant and locations to make all your connections. They are also available with Lightning/Surge protection to protect your wiring and instruments. Protected models are available for 4-20 mA outputs or the amplified 0-5 or 0-10 Vdc outputs. 

Omega has developed a Modular Manufacturing System so we can deliver almost any combination of pressure type, electrical output, pressure range and cable length with or without internal lightning/surge protection in 1-2 Weeks!
