This durable housing protects internal sensor components from moisture, dust, and debris common in industrial settings, ensuring measurement accuracy even in the most challenging environments. Its wide operating temperature range makes it suitable for installations in both cryogenic and high-heat applications.

Precision engineering: Designed with tight tolerances, the 330100-90-00 maintains optimal alignment between the sensor element and measured surface, critical for accurate proximity measurements. The threaded mounting system with locknut allows for precise positioning and secure fixation, preventing measurement drift due to vibration or thermal expansion. This precision ensures consistent gap settings and reliable data output for machinery protection systems.

Seamless system integration: The 330100-90-00 is engineered to work seamlessly with other components of the 3300 XL system, including the 330180-90-00 sensor elements and 330190 series extension cables. This compatibility ensures easy system assembly and interchangeability of components, simplifying installation and maintenance procedures. The housing’s 1/2 inch NPT conduit connection facilitates proper cable management and environmental sealing.

Compliance and reliability: Meeting API 670 standards, the 330100-90-00 ensures compliance with industry requirements for machinery protection systems in critical applications. Its vibration resistance up to 10 g peak and pressure rating up to 1034 kPa (150 psi) demonstrate its ability to maintain performance under extreme operational conditions, providing plant operators with confidence in their machinery monitoring systems.

Typical application scenarios

The 330100-90-00 is widely deployed in power generation facilities, where it protects proximitor sensors monitoring turbine shafts, generators, and auxiliary rotating equipment. In coal, gas, and nuclear power plants, the housing’s ability to withstand high temperatures and vibration ensures reliable measurement of shaft position and vibration, critical parameters for early fault detection and prevention of catastrophic failures.

In the oil and gas industry, the 330100-90-00 provides essential protection for proximity sensors installed on compressors, pumps, and turbines in both onshore processing facilities and offshore platforms. Its corrosion-resistant stainless steel construction withstands exposure to hydrocarbons, saltwater, and harsh weather conditions, maintaining measurement integrity in these demanding environments.

Chemical processing plants and refineries rely on the 330100-90-00 to protect sensors monitoring rotating equipment in corrosive atmospheres. The housing’s robust design prevents chemical contamination of sensor elements, ensuring accurate measurement of bearing clearance, shaft movement, and vibration in pumps, mixers, and agitators. In all these applications, the 330100-90-00 ensures the reliability of critical machinery protection data, supporting safe and efficient operations.
