Latest transducer meets high pressure challenges

The latest P2V compact high pressure transducers from HBM have excellent measuring properties at up to 5 000 bar that are needed, for example, in water-jet cutting systems.

The P2V is suitable for measuring both static and dynamic pressures with a measurement accuracy at 0.3 per cent at 5,000 bar and 0.2 per cent in lower range models. Dynamic pressure characteristics can be very precisely defined because of the high measuring frequency of 4.5 kHz.

The P2V’s precision can markedly improve the dimensional accuracy of work pieces. The measuring body is finished from a continuous piece of steel with no welded seams making the transducers extremely robust and reliable with a long service life. The P2V pressure transducers are available for nominal (rated) pressures of 0...100 bar up to 0...5,000 bar.

A high-quality, low-noise DC amplifier is directly integrated in the transducer, available either with a voltage output (0.5...10 V) or a current output (4...20 mA). The P2V supports Transducer Electronic Data Sheet (TEDS) information to store all essential transducer data ensuring the user can save significant time and costs when configuring a measurement system.

Typical applications for the P2V are found throughout general mechanical engineering sectors where very high pressures need to be measured.
