Description

The EFE PDC160 High Accuracy Pressure Sensor with digital correction features the latest technological innovation developed by EFE.
The PDC160 High Accuracy Pressure Sensor has an all stainless steel thin film pressure sensing element and makes it compatible with most industrial fluids, including the most corrosive fluids. The built-in electronics deliver a high level signal 0.5-4.5V. This smart module allows a correction of the sensor’s measurements in pressure and temperature over the compensation range. It is thus endowed with extreme precision: the total error band is ±0.5% for the entire range from -55 to +125°C. This precision does not limit the dynamics of the sensor. The bandwidth of the signal being as standard 1kHz @ -3dB. Miniature and robust, the PDC167 is particularly suitable for embedded use combining temperature, vibrations, shocks and where size and mass are a priority.

EFE pressure sensor have been developing and manufacturing a complete range of pressure sensors since 1973. They have designed their proprietary advanced sensing technologies and created a unique range of high performance and miniature pressure transducers.

With over 35 years of experience, EFE have developed a unique range of miniature and sub-miniature pressure transducers. This complete range includes:
– Low pressure (from 100 mbar), high pressure (up to 3000 bar) and negative/positive pressure ranges (from –1 bar).
– Unamplified sensors,
– Transducers with analogue or digital built-in electronics
– Standard or high accuracy with digitally corrected transducers offering ultimate total error band including all errors in the compensated temperature range (0.1% fs).
– Large temperature capability: from –60°C to 260°C for unamplified sensors and –55°C to +175°C for amplified transducers.
– High dynamic capability with semi-flush diaphragms
– High performance built-in electronics adapted to on-board applications (8-16V or 8-30V power supply), high bandwidth capability (up to 5 or 10 kHz), low noise, low consumption (<10 mA) and related protection.
– All stainless steel, titanium or inconel construction allowing compatibility with corrosive media
– Robust construction proven in the harshest environments

Applications where space is limited and weight critical : gear box & engine development, satellite, missile, aerospace, motorsport.
