SOR hermetically sealed pressure switch feature a sealed stainless steel capsule that isolates the switching mechanism from the elements and corrosive, environments or atmospheres. They virtually eliminate problems associated with these types of conditions.

Mini-Hermet – Hermetically Sealed Pressure/Compound Pressure Switch

Mini-Hermet – Hermetically Sealed Pressure/Compound Pressure Switch
Mini-Hermet Dims

Models: Mini-Hermet
Ranges: 30 in Hg VAC to 7000 psi, 1 bar VAC to 480 bar
Certifications: Unit: ATEX, GOST, INMETRO, RTN, SIL, UL/CSA; Snap Switch: ATEX, TestSafe (SAA), UL/CSA
Warranty: 3 Years

Like its big brother, the Big Hermet, the sensing assembly of the Mini-Hermet pressure/compound pressure switch is based on the conventional Static “O” Ring® type that SOR pioneered in the industry for more than 50 years. The pressure switching element assembly is hermetically sealed in a stainless steel capsule and the maximum explosion-proof rating is provided.

The small, compact size of the SOR Mini-Hermet sealed switch makes it extremely popular in offshore oil and gas fields because it is corrosion resistant and it doesn’t require much space on the skids.

  • Hermetically sealed snap switches
  • Ranges from 30 in Hg vacuum to 7000 psi
  • Setpoint adjustment without declassification of hazardous area

Pivot Seal – Hermetically Sealed Pressure Switch

Pivot Seal – Hermetically Sealed Pressure Switch

Models: Various
Ranges: 100 to 7000 psi (7 to 480 bar)
Certifications: Unit: ATEX, UL/CSA, INMETRO, RTN, SIL; Snap Switch: ATEX, TestSafe (SAA), UL/CSA
Warranty: 3 Years

The explosion proof SOR hermetically sealed pivot seal pressure switch makes sense when plant conditions contain flammable/combustible gases, vapors or dust that dictate UL, CSA or ATEX certifications. (According to the National Electrical Code, the definition of an explosion proof apparatus is a device enclosed in a case that is capable of withstanding a gas or vapor explosion. This means that, should an explosion occur, it will be contained within an enclosure).

The pressure-sensing element of the pivot seal pressure switch is a force-balanced, piston-actuated assembly sealed by an o-ring. As with all SOR pressure switches, the actual travel of the piston to actuate the micro switch is only several thousandths of an inch, resulting in minimal o-ring wear. Media pressure on the area of the piston counteracts the force of the range spring (adjustable by the adjusting nut screw) and moves the piston shaft and the force transmitter to directly actuate the electrical snap-action switching element.

  • Designed for fluid power or hydraulic services
  • Long lasting with minimal wear

Sub Mini-Hermet – Hermetically Sealed, Explosion Proof Pressure Switch

OEM Pressure Switches

Sub Mini-Hermet – Hermetically Sealed, Explosion Proof Pressure Switch

Models: Sub Mini-Hermet
Ranges: 8 to 200 psi, 0.5 to 14 bar
Certifications: Unit: RTN, SIL; Snap Switch: ATEX, TestSafe (SAA), UL/CSA
Warranty: 3 Years

Measuring approximately one-half the size of the standard Mini-Hermet, the Sub Mini-Hermet explosion-proof switch is the perfect size for OEM skids and equipment with tight spaces.

The Sub Mini-Hermet switch is available with adjustable set points or if you prefer to maintain the factory settings and not allow field adjustments, it can be configured for non-adjustable settings. (Field adjustable units may be externally adjusted without disconnecting electrical service). The SOR Sub Mini-Hermet switch is designed for use in hostile environments where space is at a premium.

  • Hermetically sealed snap switches
  • Ranges from 8 to 200 psi
  • Setpoint adjustment without declassification of hazardous area

Big Hermet – Explosion Proof, Hermetically Sealed, Pressure Switch

Big Hermet – Explosion Proof, Hermetically Sealed, Pressure Switch

Models: Big Hermet
Ranges: 30 in Hg VAC to 7000 psi, 1 bar VAC to 480 bar
Certifications: Unit: RTN, SIL, UL/CSA; Snap Switch: UL/CSA, TestSafe (SAA)
Warranty: 3 Years

The SOR hermetically sealed Big Hermet explosion-proof pressure switch is designed for mounting in a panel or on the wall when easy access is important. The pressure sensing assembly of the Big Hermet is identical to a conventional static o-ring type switch with the exception that the switching element assembly is hermetically sealed in a steel capsule. This versatile pressure snap switch works in a wide variety of environments and industrial applications and is available with the maximum explosion-proof rating.

  • Hermetically sealed snap switches
  • Ranges from 30 in Hg vacuum to 7000 psi

Dual Hi-Lo – Hermetically Sealed Pressure Switch

Dual Hi-Lo – Hermetically Sealed Pressure Switch

Models: V2
Ranges: 30 in Hg VAC to 4000 psi, 1 bar VAC to 275 bar
Certifications: Unit: CSA, RTN, SIL; Snap Switch: UL/CSA, ATEX, TestSafe (SAA)
Warranty: 3 Years

The SOR V2 pressure switch features two discrete sensing assemblies and 2 separate set points with 2 separate hermetically sealed switches in a single housing. It can be calibrated to the same actuation point or split to the full span of the adjustable range without interaction. It is ideal for use in hostile environments and an explosion proof rating is available.

The Dual Hi-Lo V2 is popular for use in alarm systems configured to signal at a minimum and/or maximum pressure.

  • Hermetically sealed snap switches
  • Ranges from 30 in Hg vacuum to 4000 psi
  • Set point adjustment with calibrated scale
  • Set point adjustment without declassification of hazardous area
