PGA220 General Purpose Aerospace Pressure Sensor

The PGA220 series is a general purpose aerospace pressure sensor. The sensing element is an advanced piezo-resistive pressure module which together with the latest compensation techniques, provides high performance measurements. It is available with unamplified (mV/V) or amplified (Vdc, mA) outputs. Wetted parts being all stainless steel (other materials are available on request), the sensor is compatible with most media used in Aerospace industry, especially corrosive ones (Skydrol, Kerosene…). High accuracy pressure measurements on test bench is one of the main application for the PGA220. Thanks to compact dimensions and a large choice in mechanical and electrical connections, installation is easier.

FEATURES

  • Robust and reliable sensor
  • Available with Built in Electronic
  • Large Bandwidth
  • All Stainless steel

Applications

  • Aerospace
  • Military
  • Test benches
  • OEM

 

Description

EFE PGA220 series is a general purpose aerospace pressure sensor. The sensing element is an advanced piezo-resistive pressure module which together with the latest compensation techniques, provides high performance measurements. It is available with unamplified (mV/V) or amplified (Vdc, mA) outputs. Wetted parts being all stainless steel (other materials are available on request), the sensor is compatible with most media used in Aerospace industry, especially corrosive ones (Skydrol, Kerosene…). High accuracy pressure measurements on test bench is one of the main application for the PGA220 pressure sensor. Thanks to compact dimensions and a large choice in mechanical and electrical connections, installation is easier.

Our range of high performance pressure sensors and transducers offers a solution to most applications.
They are available from 0-50 mbar up to 0-3000 bar. We also propose negative and positive pressure from ± 50 mbar up to -1/+10 bar.

Analogue transducers offer standard outputs (2mV/V, 0.5-4.5V DC, 0-5V DC, 1-6V DC, 0-10V DC, 4-20mA) while digital sensors have RS485, CANbus, Modbus outputs.
Thanks to the latest linearisation and digital correction techniques, our transducers, both analogue and digital, have high accuracy at room temperature (up to 0.05% fs) as well as ultimate total error band (up to 0.1% FS) over compensated temperature range.

With our high performance transducers, accuracy does not limit other major specifications for our customers’ applications such as:

– bandwidth, available up to 5kHz with built-in electronics
– large temperature capability, from –55°C up to 125°C (150°C on option)
– robust construction, all Stainless Steel or Inconel
Some models, analogue or digital, offer software-controlled settings adjustments.

Applications : high accuracy test beds, flight test, oil exploration etc.
