Designed for oily and wet gauging applications, the new IP 68 sealed probes from Solartron Metrology are sealed at all points of ingress and offer improved sealing compared with IP 67 or IP 65 sensors.
Solartron IP 68 sealed probes are also tested for a 100% seal before being delivered to customers. 
Source: Solartron Metrology With the sealing verified by a third party, there is no loss of performance with the IP 68 sealed probes, with up to 0.05% full-scale accuracy, 0.15 µm repeatability and 0.01 µm resolution.
High-Quality Gaiters
The protective gaiters supplied with the IP 68 sealed probes conform to the highest-quality standards.
The gaiter material, fluoroelastomer, has a high temperature tolerance and chemical resistance rating. It has a synthetic rubber that resists many hydrocarbons, biodiesel and petrochemicals. However, it is not compatible with ketones.
Please note that the gaiter on the IP 68 sealed probes cannot be replaced in the field. If the gaiter is torn, the probe should be returned to Solartron for repair.
Full Sealing Available for Most Gauging Sensors
The IP 68 sealing is available for most standard orbit digital measuring spring and pneumatic probes. It is available on TTL , as well as on the 12 mm diameter rugged gauging sensors. IP 68 is also standard on Solartron DUSM probes, which are excellent for bore gauging and low profile applications.
More information on the compatibility of IP 68 sealing can be found on the IP 68 sealed probes datasheet. Find out more about Solartron Metrology’s products, including the new IP 68 sealed probes by contacting a Solartron expert.
