Precision Pressure Sensing and Filtration Upgrade in Steel Works Application


Industry: Metal & Metallurgy Processing


Customer Background: A high-pressure cooling and lubrication system upgrade project for a large-scale steel manufacturing plant in India.


Customer Pain Points: Standard transmitters suffered from short service lives in the harsh, high-temperature, and dusty environment, while impurities in the hydraulic oil frequently clogged precision valves.


Solution (Utilizing United Supply Hub components):


Deployed HYDAC (HDA 4800 series) high-precision pressure transmitters—specifically designed for steel mills—to accurately monitor real-time system pressure.


Installed HYDAC (RFD series) duplex inline filters to enable filter element replacement without system downtime.


Project Results: Achieved improved hydraulic oil cleanliness levels and more than doubled the service life of sensors operating in the high-temperature environment.
