MPTW500 values are taken from the DABEY MPTW500 datasheet. For XTL-100-190 replacement, the S1 and S2 millivolt output variants are the closest match.
- Low-end range coverage differs. The XTL-100-190 range list starts at 10 PSI; MPTW500 standard ranges start at 0–2 MPa (300 PSI). Ranges below 300 PSI require customization.
- High-temperature limit differs. XTL-100-190 is rated to +175 °C; MPTW500 to +150 °C. Verify if your process runs above 150 °C.
- Weight and electrical interface differ. 6 g against ≤ 13 g, and a Comtronic connector against a 4-wire cable by default.

Kulite XTL-100-190 Replacement: What to Check
Pressure range
Check whether your range falls at or above 300 PSI. Below that, the MPTW500 requires a customized range — confirm with our applications engineers first.
Sealing geometry
Threads match (10-32 UNF, M5×0.8), but O-ring dimensions and fitting lengths vary by option. Verify the sealing face against your drawing.
Temperature
XTL-100-190 is rated to +175 °C, MPTW500 to +150 °C. If your process runs above 150 °C, confirm suitability before ordering.
Media and connection
Confirm your media against 316L / 17-4PH, and decide between the standard 4-wire cable and a connector option.
