I/P Converters
I/P converters are used to convert an analog signal (4 to 20 mA) to a proportional linear pneumatic output (3 to 15 psig). This type of device is called I/P converter since it converts a current signal (I) to a pressure signal (P).
An IP converter is used for control applications when reliability and repeatability is required at a low cost. An integral volume booster provides high flow capacity and increasing control speed in critical applications. I/P converters are available in several different models and ranges, typical 0,2-1 bar output but also an extended range up to 10 bar for higher pressure.

How I/P converters work
An IP converter is used in control applications where reliability and repeatability are desired at a low cost. An integrated volume amplifier provides high flow capacity and increases control speed in critical applications. I/P transducers come in several different models and ranges, typically with a 0.2–1 bar output. However, there are also converters with up to 10 bar for high-pressure pneumatics.
Installation of I/P converter
The I/P converter is usually mounted on standard model pneumatic actuators or in cabinets. They are available in standard models for wall, panel or pipe mounting, as well as for DIN rail and manifold kits (optional). Multifunctional manifolds have common supply valves and individual shut-off valves.
