Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Q1: What is the primary function of the 330850-91-00 sensor?
A1: It monitors differential expansion in steam turbines by measuring the relative axial movement between the rotor and stator.
Q2: What is the linear measurement range of this system?
A2: The system provides a linear measurement range of 12.7 mm (500 mils).
Q3: Can it be used in high-temperature environments?
A3: Yes, the probe operates up to 200 °C continuously and 250 °C intermittently.
Q4: Is the 330850-91-00 backward compatible?
A4: Yes, it replaces 7200 and DE Integral 25 mm transducers without changes to monitor configuration.
Q5: What output does the Proximitor Sensor provide?
