VEGA VEGABAR 82 Process Pressure Transmitter
Overview
The VEGA VEGABAR 82 is a robust, all-round pressure transmitter built around an innovative flush-mounted ceramic measuring cell manufactured in-house by VEGA. Its thermal-shock-resistant CERTEC ceramic sensor covers roughly 80% of applications in the process industry, from gases and vapors to liquids and abrasive slurries such as sand.
Backed by genuine manufacturer documentation, Seven Star LLC proudly supplies the VEGA VEGABAR 82 to process plants and industrial facilities across the Sultanate of Oman and the wider GCC, backed by genuine factory calibration, full documentation, and local technical support.
Measurement Principle
The VEGA VEGABAR 82 measures pressure using VEGA’s proprietary CERTEC oil-free ceramic measuring cell. Process pressure acts directly on the flush-mounted ceramic diaphragm, and the resulting deflection is measured capacitively and converted into a precise pressure signal with no fill fluid required, eliminating the leak risk associated with oil-filled metallic cells.
Because the ceramic cell is thermal-shock resistant and has an extremely high overload factor of 200, the VEGABAR 82 tolerates sudden pressure spikes and temperature swings that would damage conventional sensors. The abrasion-resistant ceramic surface also handles particulate-laden media such as sand or paper pulp without degradation, giving the VEGABAR 82 exceptional versatility across process industries.
Engineering Design of the VEGA VEGABAR 82
The transmitter covers pressure measuring ranges from –1 to +100 bar, with process temperatures up to +150°C and accuracy of ±0.05%. Process connections include threads from G1/4, flanges from DN15, and an extensive range of hygienic fittings including Tri-Clamp, DIN 11851, and Varivent, with wetted materials spanning PVDF, 316L, Alloy C22, Duplex, and Titanium Grade 2.
The housing is available in plastic, aluminum, or stainless steel with protection ratings up to IP69, and the VEGABAR 82 can be combined with any other VEGABAR Series 80 sensor for electronic differential pressure measurement, opening additional possibilities without a dedicated dp transmitter. Communication is available via 4–20 mA, HART, PROFIBUS PA, FOUNDATION Fieldbus, or Modbus.
Key Features
The VEGA VEGABAR 82 is engineered as a versatile, wear-free pressure transmitter, and the VEGA VEGABAR 82 is trusted across the process industry for its low maintenance and high reliability:
- Delivers measurement accuracy of ±0.05% with a wear-free ceramic measuring cell.
- Handles process temperatures up to +150°C with resistance to sudden thermal shock.
- Achieves an overload factor of 200, unique in the market for a standard pressure instrument.
- Covers pressure measuring ranges from –1 to +100 bar including full vacuum service.
- Handles abrasive media such as sand and paper pulp thanks to its abrasion-resistant ceramic surface.
- Can be combined with another VEGABAR Series 80 sensor for electronic differential pressure measurement.
- Offers extensive hygienic connection options for food, beverage, and pharmaceutical applications.
- Is certified to SIL2 for use in safety-instrumented pressure loops.
Industrial Applications
The VEGA VEGABAR 82 is specified for feed pressure monitoring in sewage pipelines, overload-resistant level and gauge pressure measurement in pressurized batch vessels, paper pulp level monitoring in bleaching towers, and vacuum monitoring in distillation columns. Its versatility across gases, vapors, and liquids makes it a default choice for general process pressure duty.
Working closely with plant engineers in the region, Seven Star LLC supplies the VEGABAR 82 to industrial and process facilities throughout Oman and the GCC, including projects in the Sohar and Salalah economic zones, water and wastewater treatment plants, and chemical processing sites, with lead time confirmed at quotation and technical support with selection.

Why Choose Seven Star LLC for VEGA Ceramic Pressure Transmitters
The VEGABAR 82’s ceramic measuring cell handles an unusually wide range of media — gases, liquids, and abrasive slurries like sand — but getting real value from that versatility depends on matching the wetted material and process connection to your actual application, whether that is a hygienic Tri-Clamp fitting for food processing or a Duplex or Titanium option for aggressive chemical service. Seven Star LLC works with your process engineers to confirm the correct VEGABAR 82 configuration, including whether a combined electronic differential pressure setup with a second Series 80 sensor makes sense for your measurement point, before order confirmation, drawing on our trusted VEGA suppliership across Oman and the wider GCC. We also help facilities plan SIL2-rated pressure loops for safety-instrumented service, and coordinate delivery and calibration documentation for process plants across Muscat, Sohar, and Salalah so pressure instrumentation stays traceable from commissioning through routine maintenance, and our technical staff remain available for follow-up support as process conditions or media handling requirements evolve over the installation’s service life.

Where VEGA sensors and transmitters are used
VEGA level transmitters are common on crude and product tanks, separators, chemical storage, water and wastewater basins, and cement or aggregate silos across the GCC. Vibrating switches serve as overfill and dry-run protection on pumps and vessels. VEGA pressure transmitters measure process pressure and hydrostatic level in liquids and gases.Ordering VEGA instruments: what we need
A VEGA device is fully described by its order code and serial number. A code such as FX81.ICEAIFAXKMAM starts with the device type (FX81 is a VEGAFLEX 81, PS64 a VEGAPULS 64, B82 a VEGABAR 82) and continues with letters for approval, process fitting, seal, electronics and housing. Send that code, or the serial number from the type label, and we can check the exact build in VEGA documentation. For a new point, add the medium, vessel height, nozzle size, pressure, temperature and area classification.Browse VEGA products by category: Level Transmitter, Pressure Instrumentation.
