KP125 Sensors, Transducers

Pressure Sensors & Transducers

Pressure sensors, such as the KP125, are a type of transducer which converts a pressure signal into an electrical signal. The variety of pressure transducers are used in a wide range of applications to measure, monitor and control a pressure or vacuum. This article will explore the KP125 application field and working principle.

KP125 Application Field

The KP125 is a corrosion resistant differential pressure sensor optimized for very low current consumption. It is resistant to acids, alkaline media, chemicals, petroleum products, solvents and hydraulic fluids, and is ideal for use in medical and dental equipment, laboratory equipment, air conditioning equipment, and other electrical devices. It also provides a wide range of pressures and accuracies.

This pressure transducer has a wide range of applications in manufacturing, medical, and industrial settings. The KP125 can be used in medical devices such as oxygenators, respirators and blood pressure monitors. It can also be used in surgeries and laboratories for measuring gases such as oxygen and nitrogen, and in air conditioning systems for measuring pressure changes. Additionally, it is used to measure the pressure of fluids in industrial applications such as energy and oil plants, pumps, and pipes.

KP125 Working Principle

The KP125 pressure transducer works using the principles of resistive sensing. It consists of a thin-film resistor on a substrate that is connected to two pressure ports. When the differential pressure between the two ports changes, the pressure is converted into an electrical signal by the resistance value of the thin-film resistor, and this electrical signal is then amplified and sent to an instrument for processing.

The KP125 pressure sensor is extremely precise and has a very low power consumption. It features a linearity of ±0.5% full-scale range and a thermal resistance accuracy of ±1.5% FS. It is powered by a single +3V voltage supply and consumes only 2mW of power. Additionally, it is extremely durable and is able to withstand vibrations, shocks, extreme temperatures and harsh environments.

Conclusion

The KP125 pressure transducer is an accurate and low power consuming device that can be used in a variety of applications. It is corrosion resistant and durable, and is ideal for measuring, monitoring, and controlling pressure or vacuum in medical, industrial, and laboratory settings. This article has provided an overview of the KP125 application field and working principle.
