P51-15-A-U-P-4.5V-000-000

Pressure Sensors and Transducers are one of the most versatile sensing technologies available today, with applications spanning a variety of fields and industries. The P51-15-A-U-P-4.5V-000-000 is an example of a pressure transducer that is suitable for many applications. In this article, we will explore the application field and working principle of the P51 transducer in detail.

Application Field

The P51 transducer is a robust and reliable solution for measuring and converting pressure into electrical signals. It is able to detect pressure ranges between -15 to 15 bars (negative and positive) and is suitable for a wide range of applications. Some of these include oil and gas systems, medical, and automotive industries.

With a flexible construction, this pressure transducer is well-suited for applications that require a flush-mounting, such as offshore rigs. The stainless steel connection heads allow for convenient installation, while the robust production ensures resistance against vibration, shock, and extreme temperatures.

Working Principle

The P51-15-A-U-P-4.5V-000-000 pressure transducer utilizes a Wheatstone-bridge cable circuit. A Wheatstone-bridge cable is a four-terminal network made up of four resistors that are connected in a bridge formation. When a pressure is applied to the transducer, it causes two resistors in the bridge (known as ‘woofer’ resistors) to change in resistance. This change in resistance modifies the output voltage of the cable circuit.

The voltage output of the bridge depends on the applied pressure, as well as the resistors used in the circuit. This allows for flexibility in calibrating the transducer to measure specific pressure ranges. This is done by changing the values of the woofer resistors or by using a ‘potentionmeter’ to modify the voltage output.

The P51 transducer is also able to measure temperature, thanks to the use of special components. By integrating a temperature compensation tempco, the transducer can accurately measure and compensate for any changes in temperature that may affect the measurements. This ensures that the readings from the pressure transducer are precise and accurate, in any temperature range.

Conclusion

The P51-15-A-U-P-4.5V-000-000 pressure transducer offers a wide range of features that make it suitable for a variety of applications. It has a robust construction and is able to resist extreme temperatures and shock, making it ideal for many industries. The Wheatstone-bridge circuit used by the transducer allows for flexibility in calibrating the readings, while the inclusion of a temperature compensation component provides accuracy in temperature-sensitive applications.
