WIKA Models UPT-20, UPT-21 Process transmitter

$120.00

The WIKA UPT-20 and UPT-21 are universal process pressure transmitters that provide high-quality, intelligent pressure measurement for industrial applications. With options for a standard pressure port (UPT-20) or a flush diaphragm connection (UPT-21), these transmitters deliver precise output and flexible integration into process control systems.

Typical Applications:
• Process control and automation in chemical, petrochemical and HVAC systems
• Machine building and plant construction
• Pharmaceutical and hygienic industries
• Food & beverage process monitoring
• General industrial pressure feedback for PLC/DCS/SCADA systems

Not Recommended For:
• Very simple local indication without digital communication
• Applications where basic pressure sensors suffice

Selection Notes

• Choose UPT-20 when a standard process connection is suitable
• Choose UPT-21 when hygienic or viscous media require a flush diaphragm
• Confirm signal output requirements (4–20 mA with HART® compatibility)
• Determine appropriate housing materials (conductive plastic, stainless steel or electropolished surface) based on environment and media
