SIL 2 Pressure Sensors

SIL 2 stands for Safety Integrity Level 2, meaning the sensor can be used in functional safety that has a safety integrated level or performance level requirement such as PLd, ISO 13849-1, IEC 61508 or SIL2. 

Our SIL 2 Pressure Sensor is constructed of high quality stainless steel for use in measurement of gases or liquids.

Suitable Industries for SIL 2 Pressure Sensors 

SIL2 Pressure sensors can be used in many applications but are most well used within the following industries; 

• Mobile hydraulics
• Automotive
• Industrial equipment 
• Materials handling
• Construction
• Agricultural 
• Forestry 

Benefits of using SIL 2 Pressure Sensors 

SIL 2 rated sensors like our SMO3100PLd, have comprehensive diagnostic information for failure rates, reliability and lifecycle performance; they have the ability to monitor these aspects.

Tests have established both low and high diagnostic range values that can be used, with appropriate control evaluation algorithms, to interpret internal failures including both operational and non-operational connection, internal EEPROM and Watchdog errors.

Performance values are also available for MTTFd, Failure rate (λF), DC, and CCF as well as specific PL information.
