Features:
- Environmental Protection Interface for LVDT Sensors in Harsh Industrial Conditions
- Integrates Weatherproof Housing Design with Precision Valve Position Measurement
- Functions Seamlessly with 3500/45 Position Monitor and 3300/70 Dual Valve Position Indicator
The Bently Nevada 27465-01 LVDT Weatherproof Housing serves as the protective enclosure for the 18639 Valve Position Transducer in steam turbine supervisory instrumentation systems, shielding the internal AC Linear Variable Differential Transformer (LVDT) from moisture, dust, and extreme temperature conditions that could compromise measurement accuracy. It continuously houses the nickel-iron core within a stainless steel casing containing primary and secondary coils, ensuring reliable electrical output based on core position to support precise governor valve opening measurement. Seamless environmental sealing is standard with the 27465-01, however proper installation of the weatherproof housing will allow continuous operation in outdoor or unprotected locations where standard unprotected sensors would fail.
The 27465-01 provides essential protective functions common to the entire valve position measurement path, and is a critical component of the turbine supervisory instrumentation system, directly affecting the proper, normal operation of overall valve monitoring and steam flow regulation. One 27465-01 weatherproof housing is required per LVDT transducer depending on the environmental conditions of the installation. The 27465-01 is mounted directly to the 18639 Valve Position Transducer and is always positioned to allow free movement of the internal core while maintaining complete environmental sealing at all cable entry points and connector interfaces.
For governor valve monitoring applications, the 27465-01 protected system requires connection to either the 3500/45 Position Monitor or the 3300/70 Dual Valve Position Indicator to measure valve position accurately. In addition to standard single transducer operation, the 27465-01 protected configuration also supports high temperature case expansion measurement. The 27465-01 protected system executes measurement using the internal LVDT circuitry specified in the transducer design.
The 27465-01 Bently Nevada Valve Position Transducer may still be available for purchase and support from Apter Power beyond End-Of-Life (EOL) by the manufacturer (OEM).

Important Notice: Other accessories, manuals, cables, calibration data, software, etc. are not included with this equipment unless listed in the above stock item description. All prices are shown in USD.
- Steam Turbine Valve Position: Monitors governor and control valve opening distances to optimize steam flow efficiency.
- Turbine Case Expansion: Measures the thermal growth profile of a turbine's outer shell during startup sequences.
- Sliding Foot Obstruction Tracking: Verifies that turbine structural sliding feet move freely rather than binding under hot operational load.
- Harsh Industrial Locations: Deploys directly onto exposed outdoor machinery decks, chemical processing facilities, or petrochemical fields.
- Hardware Integration: The AC LVDT wires directly into a dedicated tracking system like the Bently Nevada 3500/45 Position Monitor.
- Software Calibration: Users rely on Bently Nevada's configuration software to assign zero-stroke (null voltage) and full-scale physical span parameters.
- Linear Scaling: The system scales the sensor's analog voltage output curve into exact engineering units (inches or millimeters).
- Alarm Setpoints: Configures safety threshold alerts to warn control operators if machine casing growth exceeds predicted thermal rates.
- High Linear Accuracy: Features a low linearity tolerance limit of 0.25% across its entire 10-inch stroke field.
- Extreme Temperature Resilience: The internal electronics are rated to function flawlessly from -54 °C up to +149 °C (-65 °F to +300 °F).
- NEMA 4 / IP Protection: The exterior stainless steel casting prevents moisture, salt mist, grit, and dust from reaching internal transformer coils.
- Prevents Mechanical Rubs: Real-time displacement data helps prevent cataclysmic machine jams or internal rotor-to-stator contact during thermal cycles.
