Premier Control Technologies Fluid Solutions
At PCT, we understand the challenges system integrators face — balancing performance, compatibility, and deadlines across complex projects. That’s why we offer a range of dependable, easy-to-integrate products designed to make your job simpler.
System integrators across the UK and Ireland deliver complex automation, skid packages, and turnkey process systems on tight timelines, with strict specification, commissioning, and documentation requirements. Success depends on selecting instrumentation that is easy to integrate, robust against electrical noise, and simple to maintain, while providing accurate data to PLC/SCADA and BMS platforms. PCT’s portfolio helps integrators reduce wiring and panel complexity, cut FAT/SAT time, and standardise on proven building blocks for flow, pressure, temperature, humidity, and gas mixing.
The products below are chosen for reliability, configurability, and clear communication options so integrators can deliver repeatable systems, faster. Where possible, we include options that support retrofit, clamp on installation, and wireless sensing to minimise site disruption.
Panel builders and OEM integrators routinely need to condition, isolate, split, and retransmit signals to match PLC or SCADA input requirements. Electrical noise, ground loops, and long cable runs can degrade measurement fidelity without robust isolation. Signal conditioning reduces commissioning complexity by allowing flexible scaling, linearisation, and conversion between voltage and current standards. Loop isolators and splitters also make it easier to feed multiple destinations (for example, a PLC and a local indicator) from the same sensor while maintaining measurement integrity. Selecting modular DIN rail devices speeds panel assembly and simplifies maintenance. Tools that offer USB/NFC configuration and clear tagging further reduce FAT/SAT time and support lifecycle documentation.
Local indication shortens diagnostics and speeds commissioning, especially when a laptop is not permitted on the shop floor. Integrators value meters that accept universal inputs, offer relay outputs, and provide totaliser/batch functions to run simple sequences without a PLC change. This approach de risks projects by enabling front panel control and alarm capability while the main control code matures. Universal displays also reduce the number of SKUs required across varied skids. Clear 1/8 DIN modules fit standard cutouts and support long term maintainability.
Temperature is a foundational measurement for blending, heating/cooling loops, and CIP verification. Many skids require custom probe lengths, diameters, and process connections to match mechanical designs. Robust thermowells protect sensors from mechanical stress and enable rapid replacement without process drain down. Integrators also need materials and construction appropriate for utilities or hygienic services. Standardising on a flexible sensor and thermowell family reduces design cycles and simplifies BOMs.
Retrofit sites and large plants often make cable runs impractical or costly. Wireless temperature links give integrators flexibility to add points quickly, reduce installation time, and preserve audit trails via central receivers. They are particularly useful for temporary projects, seasonal commissioning, or hard to reach assets. Selecting devices with reliable radio performance and straightforward pairing reduces risk and speeds deployment.
Accurate RH/T monitoring is essential for AHUs, controlled environments, and cleanrooms, impacting comfort, product quality, and energy use. Integrators prefer dual channel outputs to feed both humidity and temperature to the BMS, plus local indication during commissioning. Devices that support duct and wall mounting, with different stem lengths, simplify mechanical integration. USB/NFC configuration and optional data logging streamline setup, tagging, and documentation.
Non invasive ultrasonic metering lets integrators measure flow on live systems without cutting pipe or halting production. This is invaluable for retrofits, audits, and temporary balancing. Clamp on technology reduces risk, accelerates time on site, and enables repeatable measurement on a wide range of pipe sizes and materials. Pairing with temperature sensors supports energy calculation for chilled/hot water loops.
Differential pressure (DP) measurement is the fastest way to detect fouling, clogging, or hydraulic imbalance across filters and exchangers. Integrators prefer transmitters that are accurate, temperature compensated, and available with hygienic or industrial connections. Good DP telemetry supports predictive maintenance and reduces unplanned downtime. Selecting a consistent family allows one spare strategy across varied skids.
Stable pressure protects equipment, assures product quality, and keeps control loops within range. Integrators need compact regulators with fast response and predictable setpoint behaviour for liquids, steam, and gases. Differential regulators and sliding gate designs provide short stroke, low turbulence, and tight shutoff, useful in compact skid packages and burner atomisation circuits. Selecting proven regulators reduces commissioning time and supports documentation requirements.
Many test rigs and OEM processes require precise, repeatable gas blends, often with rapid step changes and digital logging. Integrators benefit from mixers that scale from lab setups to high flow industrial applications and offer web interfaces, rack/turnkey formats, and traceable calibration. Fast response keeps waste low, and built in data/logging simplifies validation and QA.
Site teams need to check flow and pressure quickly during FAT/SAT and handover, often without mains power or specialist tools. Portable kits reduce time to data, help diagnose issues, and provide confidence to end users. Integrators prefer rugged, easy to carry options that cover common ranges and can be reused across projects.
Integrators often need local data, retransmission, and digital comms to bridge instruments and control systems. A universal panel meter with Modbus and retransmission can act as a simple edge device, providing display, alarms, and data handoff. Using consistent devices shortens integration and simplifies spares. Front panel programming and optional communications help teams adapt as control architectures evolve.
