PNA160 Miniature Pressure Sensor

Description

The EFE PNA160 Miniature Pressure sensor for nuclear environments. The PNA160 has been designed to operate in applications involving high gamma radiations.

The PNA161 is manufactured with the ruggedised and EFE proprietary sensing technology, it has been tested with gamma doses above 1000kGy. Its Wheatstone bridge which is sputtered on a metal diaphragm delivers an unamplified output which can be conditioned by standard amplifiers. We can set up PNA161 with out AMP320, a signal conditioning device, totally analogue and without any software of firmware. To deliver a 0-10V or 4-20mA output. We can also supply the adapted cable assembly qualified for nuclear environments. Being all stainless steel, PNA161 is compatible with most of the fluids. ITs small package and low mass makes it very adaptable to applications where space is a priority and generates less waste to be processed. Its manufacturing process, including traceable controls and special burn-in, gives the best assurance of high performance and stability.

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.
