CPC100GC

Pressure sensors are widely used in industrial and commercial applications for a variety of purposes. The CPC100GC, a general-purpose capacitive pressure transducer manufactured by General Electric, is specifically designed for applications requiring long-term accuracy and reliable measurements in environmental conditions that range from the extreme to the very simple. The device has no moving parts, making it ideal for applications that require low maintenance and long-term performance.

The CPC100GC operates on the principles of capacitive sensing. It uses two ceramic plates, an upper and a lower, that are separated by a gap. The upper plate is capacitively coupled to the outside world and the lower plate has its voltage reference set to a level. As the outside pressure increases, the pressure causes a displacement of the upper plate. This displacement changes the gap between the plates and, consequently, changes the capacitance. This change in capacitance is sensed by the processor inside the transducer and is converted into a digital signal, which is then sent to the processor.

The CPC100GC is rated for pressure ranges up to -14 psi to +14 psi and is designed for operation in temperatures between -20 °C and +50 °C. It is available in multiple sizes and configurations, making it ideal for use in a wide range of applications, including air, fuel and gas gauge pressure monitoring. It is also suitable for use in many other industrial applications, such as pumps, compressors, hydraulic systems, and pressure tanks.

The CPC100GC is a reliable and accurate pressure transducer, offering long-term performance even in extreme conditions. It is versatile and easy to install, making it the perfect choice for a variety of industrial and commercial applications. It is also cost-effective, offering excellent value for money when compared to other pressure transducers available on the market.
