Pressure Sensor M/02
1.5nC/bar nom. • Case Isolated • 500°C max
For more technical information
500°C operating, piezo-electric compression mode dynamic pressure transducer; application areas include turbulence and cavitation measurement of high temperature fluid media without recourse to the added complexity of thermal barriers with the possible resultant loss of data. This type of acoustic sensor is suitable for operation where static background pressure up to 200bar may exist.
Piezoelectric Pressure Sensors, sometimes referred to as pressure microphones are primarily designed for measuring pressure transients, dynamic pressure pulsations in liquids or gases, dynamic blasts and rapid pressure variation & surges. Piezoelectric Pressure Sensors allow for high accuracy, highly stable measurements in harsh environments, and can also be used to indirectly measure other variables such as fluid/gas flow, speed and water level.
The M/02 range of pressure transducers offer high sensitivities, in temperatures of up to 500ºC. This range of transducer is particularly suited to high intensity acoustics, turbulence and cavitation measurements, particularly where these phenomena may be superimposed upon high static pressure fluid media
Piezoelectric Pressure Sensors have applications in oil, energy and marine industries to name but a few, due to their ability to measure highly dynamic pressure changes.
Charge Amplifier
This type of precision dynamic pressure transducer will require a charge amplifier, we recommend the CA/04 for this.
Environmental
Signal outlet is vis integral hardline cable. There is a welded cable seal with additional crimped cable support. Leak testing (up to 500bar) is available where reliability must be assured.
Leak testing is carried out in pressurised water at ambient temperature, and includes that portion of the cable exposed to service pressure.
Calibration
Dynamic pressure calibration is carried out at ambient pressure and temperature. Elevated temperature (to 500°C) pressure calibration, and pressure sensitivity linearity measurement up to 300bar @ ambient temperature are available.
