About The MPM480GH Pressure Transmitter

The MPM480GH pressure transmitter is purpose-built for hydrogen measurement in gas industry applications. Featuring a gold-plated stainless steel diaphragm, it effectively prevents hydrogen permeation, ensuring long-term stability and reliability. The all-welded stainless steel construction delivers robustness and durability, while accuracy levels reach up to ±0.25% FS for critical applications.

Usage conditions

Engineered for demanding environments, the MPM480GH provides:

  • Pressure ranges from 250 mbar to 70 bar
  • Overpressure tolerance up to 1.5x FS
  • Operating temperature: -30°C to +85°C (depending on connection type and cable material)
  • Shock resistance: 20 g / 11 ms and vibration resistance: 20 g (20–2000 Hz)
  • IP65 protection rating for harsh conditions

Possible applications

  • Hydrogen production plants
  • Hydrogen storage facilities
  • Fuel cell systems
  • Industrial gas handling and process control

Advantages of choosing this product

The MPM480GH combines intrinsic safety certification with long-term stability (±0.2% FS/year), making it ideal for hazardous areas. It offers a wide range of electrical outputs including 4–20 mA, 0–10 V, 1–5 V, and ratiometric signals. Multiple electrical connection options – Hirschmann 4-pin, M12x1 circular connector, or cable – ensure flexibility for OEM and integration projects.

Other important features

  • Wetted parts: SS 316L diaphragm (gold plated), SS 304/316L port
  • Housing: stainless steel 304/316L
  • Cable materials: PE, PUR, or PVC
  • Response time ≤1 ms
  • Insulation resistance ≥100 MΩ @ 500 VDC
