New differential pressure sensors from Kistler Instruments

As a result, the sensor can be factory-configured to provide an electrical output to suit a variety of data acquisition systems. In addition, non-interactive zero and span calibration adjustments can be provided. The silicon sensing element exhibits high performance for stability and repeatability, important parameters for test applications.

A patented sealing method is used in the pressure sensing assembly, enabling the sensor to withstand multiple cycles without fatigue, a quality that is especially useful in cyclic applications. This design also enables flexibility in choice of pressure connections without the use of adaptors or "O' rings.

These new sensors are available in both uni-directional and bi-directional types with pressure ranges from 0.1 to 10bar differential, all with 300 per cent proof pressure. ATEX versions are available for use in hazardous areas. Accuracy of 0.05 per cent full scale (FS) and stability of 0.1 per cent of FS per year combined with a wide temperature-compensated range of -40 to +125degC make the new sensors suitable for R&D and product testing applications in automotive, aerospace and manufacturing industries, especially engine and power train oil and coolant filter pressure monitoring and leak testing.
