Criteria for selecting a nuclear pressure transmitter

The nuclear industry is a mature industry with well-known processes and reliability requirements.
These requirements are defined by customers, process producers and legal regulations governing all aspects of safety, in line with the safety requirements published by the French Nuclear Safety and Radiation Protection Authority (ASNR).

Pressure transmitters have guaranteed the performance of nuclear systems for decades.

In light of recent incidents around the world, we need to set standards that elevate the function of this device to an even higher level than before.
