DP3-80

Pressure sensors and transducers are devices used to measure pressure and in turn convert the physical phenomenon of pressure into an electric signal. One such pressure transducer is the DP3-80, a pressure transducer manufactured by Micro-Epsilon.

The DP3-80 is a robust, high-performance pressure transducer which is capable of measuring pressure over a wide range. It has a pressure measuring range of 0-10 bar and is available with either analog or digital outputs. The DP3-80 utilizes a piezoresistive strain gauge sensor as the sensing element, which is integrated into a stainless steel diaphragm. The sensor is mounted in a housing which is machined from AISI 304 stainless steel or PEEK.

The DP3-80 is suitable for a wide range of industrial applications, including pressure measurement in hydraulics, pneumatics, and electronics. It can also be used for precise measurements of low pressures, such as in medical diagnostic equipment. In addition, it can be used for absolute, relative, and differential measurements in air pressure, gas pressure, liquid pressure, static and dynamic pressure measurements, and more.

In order to use the DP3-80, it must be connected to a suitable power source and properly mounted on the sensing surface. Once powered, the signal is then amplified and converted to the required measurement signal. The output signal can either be 4-20mA or 0-10V depending on the type of output desired. The DP3-80 is also equipped with a temperature-compensated pressure element, which allows for accurate pressure measurements in extreme temperatures.

The working principle of the DP3-80 is simple yet effective. As the pressure changes, it is converted into electrical signals by the strain gage element. The signal is then further amplified and converted into the corresponding output signal. This output signal can then be used to trigger valves, alarms or used to provide feedback to a control system.

In conclusion, the DP3-80 is an excellent choice for a wide range of industrial and medical applications. It is a robust device with a wide pressure measuring range and multiple output options, making it suitable for a large number of applications. Additionally, its temperature-compensated feature allows it to deliver accurate measurements in extreme temperatures. Its simple yet effective working principle makes it an ideal choice for both novices and experts.
