Piezoresistive Silicon

• Overview
  Contain sensing elements that consist of four piezoresistors buried in the face of a thin, chemically-etched silicon diaphragm. A pressure change causes the diaphragm to flex, inducing a stress in the diaphragm and the buried resistors. The resistor values change in proportion to the stress applied and produce an electrical output. These sensors are small, low cost and reliable. They feature excellent repeatability, high accuracy and reliability under varying environmental conditions. In addition, they feature highly consistent operating characteristics from one sensor to the next, and interchangeability without recalibration.

• Best Used For:
  Medical and HVAC devices, data storage and gas chromatography equipment, process controls, industrial machinery, pumps and robotics.

Stainless Steel Media Isolated

• Overview
  Full line of sensors for use with media compatible with stainless steel. Most sensors use bonded strain gage technology, making them very resistant to the effects of shock, vibration and hostile environments. Measurement types include absolute, gage and sealed gage. A wide variety of pressure ranges, port styles, termination types and outputs is available. Package types range from miniature surface mount sensors to high-end stainless steel isolated transmitters used for stringent process control. All products are fully compensated and tested to meet specifications before shipment.

• Best Used For:
  Compressors, hydraulic controls, transportation, aerospace, agriculture, refrigeration and general industrial
