Pressure Sensor Suitable for High Vibration and Shock Applications

The IMP Industrial pressure transmitter is a low cost pressure sensor with flexibility to work in many applications.  The body of the pressure sensor as well as the connections, are made of 303 stainless steel.  A digitally compensated amplifier provides the signal conditioning with a choice of three commonly used analogue output signals that are compatible with ADC cards, PLCs,  controllers, and panel displays.  It can handle pressure ranges from 0-10 bars, and an output signal of 4-20 milliamps, 0 to 5 volts, or 0 to 10 volts.

This industrial pressure transmitter, IMP, has a piezo-resistive ceramic pressure sensor giving it excellent media compatibility.  Every device is temperature compensated and calibrated and supplied with a traceable serial number and calibration certificate.  Incorporated in the electronics is a microprocessor based amplifier, this means there are no adjusting posts and therefore the electronics are very stable, especially in high vibration and shock applications.

Some of the options that are available are the following:

  • Pressure range and engineering units
  • Pressure reference (G, SG or Abs)
  • Output
  • Accuracy (Non-linearity & hysteresis)
  • Thermal accuracy
  • O-ring seal material

Some of the suitable applications for the pressure sensor are:

  • Hydraulics
  • Pneumatics
  • Autoclave and Sterilization
  • Agricultural machinery
  • Laboratory testing
  • Mechanical engineering
  • Environmental engineering
  • Automotive testing
  • Tank gauging
  • Pumps and compressors
  • HVAC
