David Pasmore
Technical Sales Support

The harsh, rugged environment of a wellhead site can be problematic for some pressure transmitters, so Dave recommended a low-cost, durable solution. The SOR 805PT Pressure Transmitter is hermetically sealed, explosion proof and made of cast stainless steel. Dave knows something about durability – he’s been at SOR since 1997.

Jack Stockton
Technical Sales Support

In a coal-fired power plant, there are hazards everywhere – dust, steam, pulverizers, turbines, and more. Jack recommended the SOR line of hermetically sealed Mechanical Pressure products to overcome the unique problems a coal-fired power plant presents. Jack understands pressure. He’s also an expert at qualifying the level product you need for your application.

Lance Cooper
Project Engineer

When an Oil and Gas production company was struggling with their SCADA service provider and better access to their own data, Lance was able to work with them to coordinate an Engineered Solution. He was able to connect them with over 70 years of SOR internal instrument data, operational experience and our in-house Engineering team to create a custom system that not only simplified their SCADA system, but it reduced their costs!

Linda Coutts
Technical Sales Support

Nuclear reactors require a pressure switch that can identify when the flow of water is below minimum and then shut off when normal system flow is achieved. To solve this problem, Linda recommended the SOR Series 141 Differential Pressure Switch. When it comes to solving the demands of the nuclear power industry, Linda is our in-house expert. 

Roy Stumbough
Technical Sales Support

Roy worked with a textile manufacturer to provide a safety interlock switch that detects when the pressure is safe to open textile dying vessels. When the operator shuts the lid and pressurizes the vessel, an SOR Pressure Switch makes certain the pressure is correct. Roy is very well-rounded with expertise in level, temperature and flow instruments as well. 

Vicky Hogue
Technical Sales Support

Vicky worked with SOR engineers to provide BP Exploration with SOR 802 Level Switches that measure the high pressure mud used to move natural gas back into the ground and seal the gas from coming back up. This process generally involves several thousand pounds of pressure. In addition to pressure devices, Vicky is also a specialist in the field of mechanical level instrumentation.
