Features:
- High-Temperature Survivability for Harsh Turbine Environments
- Moisture-Proof Front and Rear Seals with FluidLoc Cable
- Long 12.7 mm Linear Range for Differential Expansion (DE) Monitoring
The Bently Nevada 330851-01-000-020-10-00-00 is built to endure extreme steam turbine conditions. It continuously operates and maintains accuracy at probe tip temperatures up to 200°C (392°F) and withstands intermittent spikes up to 250°C (482°F), thanks to its PEEK tip and high-temperature FluidLoc cable.
Prevents steam and oil ingress that commonly kills standard probes. This model integrates both front and rear seals plus a specialized FluidLoc cable, ensuring the sensing tip remains uncontaminated and reliable even in condensing, high-humidity environments inside turbine casings.
Unlike standard proximity probes, the Bently Nevada 330851-01-000-020-10-00-00 offers a full 12.7 mm (500 mils) linear range, making it specifically suitable for measuring differential expansion between the turbine rotor and casing. This range eliminates the need for multiple probe arrangements in many mid- to large-size steam turbines.
The 330851-01-000-020-10-00-00 Bently Nevada 3300 XL 25 mm Proximity Probe may still be available for purchase and support from Apter Power beyond End-Of-Life (EOL) by the manufacturer (OEM).

- Differential Expansion (DE) in Steam Turbines – Measures axial growth difference between rotor and casing in mid- to large-size turbine generators, preventing blade rub and casing contact.
- Large Compressor Shaft Displacement – Monitors axial position changes in centrifugal and axial compressors where long linear range (12.7 mm) is required.
- Generator Rotor Thermal Growth – Tracks rotor expansion during startup and load changes, enabling safe warm-up sequences.
- Upgrade Replacement for Legacy 7200 Systems – Direct physical and electrical replacement for old 25 mm DE integral probes, reducing downtime during retrofit projects.
- High-Temperature Turbine Casings – Continuous operation at probe tip up to 200°C with intermittent spikes to 250°C, suitable for HP and IP turbine sections.
- Condensing Steam Environments – FluidLoc cable and double-sealed tip prevent moisture ingress even when connectors are exposed to 100% condensing humidity (non-submerged).
- Oil and Chemical Exposure – PEEK probe tip resists turbine oil and mild chemicals, ensuring long-term measurement stability.
- Vibration and Mechanical Stress – AISI 304 stainless steel case withstands high vibration levels typical of turbine bearings and casings.
- Analog Voltage Output (0.787 V/mm) – Provides direct, real-time gap voltage to Bently Nevada 3500 racks or third-party PLCs for alarm and trip logic.
- Redundant Measurement Configuration – Supports two probes observing the same collar side for redundant DE monitoring, meeting API 670 recommendations.
- Complementary Input Arrangement – Allows two probes on opposite sides of a collar to double the measurable DE range for very high-growth machines.
- Periodic System Verification – Sliding bracket option (330853) enables quick in-situ verification of transducer linearity without disassembling the turbine casing.
