Pressure Switches

Pressure switches are your first line of defense at oil well sites. As a safety device for effective on/off well control, they must be extremely durable and reliable.

Argus Pressure Switches are designed in accordance with NACE International, Canadian Standards Association (CSA), American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME) and Alberta Boilers Safety Association (ABSA) standards. We were also the first in the industry to meet the Dual Seal certification compliance in 2007.

  • Sealed pressure sensing capsule
  • Field replaceable micro-switch
  • Externally adjustable set point
  • Accurately repeats within +/- 1%
  • Automatic or manual reset
  • Nema 4 and 7 enclosure
  • CSA approved Class I Div.1 and 2, Group D for hazardous locations
  • Pressure rated from 20 to 5000 PSI
  • Continuous Process Operating temperature rated from:
    • -50⁰F to +400⁰F (-46⁰C to +204⁰C) for STANDARD switches
