Rugged and reliable, the Argus Pressure Switch provides effective on / off pump enhancing environmental protection, personnel safety and reducing pump damage.
Argus Pressure Switches are built to provide reliable, effective on/off control of artificial lift pumps supporting environmental protection, personnel safety, and reduced pump damage. Each spring range covers a broad spectrum of pressure settings, while an Inconel® diaphragm helps withstand sour and corrosive media in oil, gas, and steam applications.
Argus Pressure Switches provide reliable on/off control and shutdown for artificial-lift and production facilities in harsh wellsite conditions.
