High Accuracy Pressure Transducer

High Accuracy Pressure Transducers at Mensor

Mensor manufactures high accuracy pressure transducers in several varieties. There are stand alone high accuracy pressure transducers (seen below) and specially designed high accuracy pressure transducers used in Mensor's pressure controlling calibrators and indicators. High accuracy barometric pressure transducers are also used independently or in Mensor controllers and indicators. Transducers with pressure ranges from 0-10 inches of water up to 15,000 psi are manufactured at Mensor in absolute, gauge, and bidirectional pressure types. Stand alone high accuracy pressure transducers come with RS232, RS485, and/or analog voltage outputs of 0-1, 0-5 or 0-10 VDC. Accuracy of 0.01% IS-50 (0.01% of reading down to 50% of FS and 0.005% of FS below 50%) is typical. They are all temperature compensated over a wide range, typically 15 to 45 deg. C.

Custom High Accuracy Pressure Transducer Packages

In addition to the standard selection of transducers seen below, Mensor can also supply custom configured banks of transducers in calibration test carts, racks or benches to fulfill a specific need for flexibility in pressure range and temperature compensation. custom systems can contain a variety of components including manifolds, switching valves, controlling software, tubing, pressure controllers, indicators, digital multi meters and any customer specified ancillary equipment necessary. Find the appropriate high accuracy pressure transducer below, or we will be happy to advise you in your selection and can discuss individual solutions.

How is Barometric Pressure Measured in Aviation?

It uses barometric pressure to deliver an altitude reading. To convert the pressure (P) reading to altitude (A), a mathematical function is used, A = f (P), where "f" is derived from the International Standard Atmosphere (ISA), which is a model of how pressure changes over a wide range of altitude.

How is Barometric Pressure Measured in Meteorology?

Meteorologists measure the strength and gradient of pressure changes using isobars. Isobars are lines on a map connecting points having the same atmospheric pressure. For standardized isobar lines, the pressure should be adjusted to the mean sea level or the altitude where the pressure is measured will skew the results when comparing it to the entire system.

What is a Digital Pressure Transducer?

A digital pressure transducer converts pressure into a digital signal. It has a sensor that measures the pressure, while a signal conditioner converts the output into a digital reading that is transmitted to a computer or other device for processing.
