The Challenge Today
Potable water remains one of our largest challenges globally. Providing reliable and sustainable sources of clean water is critical. Treatment and distribution are driving newer and more efficient processing technologies to address the challenges of water scarcity.
Barksdale's Customized Solutions
Extended pressure, temperature ranges
Barksdale can customize their instruments to operate beyond standard specifications, allowing them to function reliably in extreme pressure or temperature conditions that typical off-the-shelf products cannot handle.
Product certification
The company can obtain specific regulatory approvals and certifications (such as explosion-proof, intrinsically safe, or industry-specific standards) required for your particular application or geographic region.
Custom outputs; Communication protocols
Instruments can be configured with specialized output signals (analog, digital, or fieldbus) and communication protocols (HART, Modbus, IO-Link, etc.) to seamlessly integrate with your existing control systems.
Electrical connection; Wire cable, color and length
The electrical interface can be customized with specific connector types, cable materials, wire color coding, and exact cable lengths to match your installation requirements and wiring standards.
Process connection; Port size and location
The physical connection points where the instrument interfaces with your piping or vessels can be customized with specific thread types, fitting sizes, and port positions to match your system design.
Design and validation for specific media compatibility
Instruments can be engineered and tested to ensure reliable operation with aggressive, corrosive, or unusual process fluids that might damage standard materials.
Wetted material (fitting, diaphragm, O-ring)
All components that contact the process media can be constructed from specialized materials (exotic alloys, specific elastomers, etc.) to ensure chemical compatibility and longevity in your specific application.
Factory setpoints for pressure and temperature switches
Switch activation points can be precisely calibrated and locked at the factory to your exact specifications, eliminating field adjustment time and ensuring consistent operation.
Level or temperature custom probe lengths
Sensing probes can be manufactured to exact insertion depths or lengths required for your specific tanks, vessels, or piping configurations.
