Dynamic sensors from PCB Piezotronics perform under pressure
PCB Piezotronics,
Inc. a designer, manufacturer, and global supplier of accelerometers,
microphones, force, torque, load, and strain sensors also offers
a comprehensive range of dynamic pressure sensors capable of
providing measurement solutions in a wide range of applications
where transient pressures are encountered.
Our Platinum Stock Sensors programme ensures fast shipment of
over 10,000 sensors. With a support team of Customer Service
Representatives and Application Engineers, PCB® proudly stands
behind their products with the services you value most, including
24-hour technical support, a global distribution network, and
the industry's only commitment to Total Customer Satisfaction
(TCS).
The most cost-effective range maintained in stock for fast delivery
is the general purpose high frequency 113 series comprising eight
models with pressure measurement capabilities ranging 50psi up
to 15,000psi and sensitivity ranging from 0.5 up to 100mV/psi.
Seven of the 113 series are ICP® sensors requiring no signal
conditioning with model 113B03 offering charge output for the
highest measuring range to 15,000psi and sensitivity of 0.39pC/psi
(±15%). All 113 series sensors feature industry standard
10-32 coaxial jack connectors for ease of set up.
Based on piezoelectric crystal technology, PCB®'s pressure
sensors are ideal for measuring dynamic pressure changes being
able to detect the smallest of pressure fluctuations even in
the presence of high static pressures. This makes them perfect
for transient measurements due to their high frequency responses
and fast rise times.
Applications include detection of pressure fluctuations in fuel
lines and pipelines and cavitation from ship propellers. Dynamic
pressure sensors can also be used in very loud acoustic applications,
for example, when measuring close to a F1 car as microphones
are limited to a maximum of 174dB. Model 106B features a range
of 8.3psi which is equivalent to 189dB and the company has other
models that can exceed these levels.
For applications in fracking, PCB® offers a range of intrinsically
safe pressure sensors compatible with the long cables typically
encountered in such environments. Additional applications include
air blast and underwater explosion measurements, peak and total
impulse, explosives research and structural loading, shock tube
or closed bomb testing, wave velocity and/or time of arrival
determinations and explosive testing.
Model 105C02 is a subminiature ICP® pressure sensor offering
measurement range of 100psi with 50mV/psi sensitivity. This tiny
sensor features a 17-4 2.5mm diameter diaphragm and is ideal
for use in space restricted applications.
PCB Piezotronics' wide range of dynamic pressure sensors is backed
by the company's guarantee of Total Customer Satisfaction (TCS)
and supported with a field-proven precision-engineered range
of accessories including mounting adaptors to ensure best practice
for a quality installation and avoidance of time consuming errors.
Many of the most popular pressure sensors and accessories in
the range are available from stock for delivery within five working
days.
