P51-15-S-UCA-D-5V-000-000

Pressure Sensors and Transducers are used to measure pressure, force and other forms of physical parameters within a wide range of industries. While pressure sensors and transducers are very similar, they provide different types of measurements. A pressure sensor is used to measure a change in pressure over time, while a transducer is used to measure static pressures by converting them into an electrical signal. The P51-15-S-UCA-D-5V-000-000 Pressure Sensor is an example of a top-of-the-line pressure sensor designed to provide precise measurements over a wide range of temperature and pressure ranges.

This device can measure pressure from -14 psi to 248 psi, temperature up to 250°F, and a 2-wire current loop output of 4-20mA. It is constructed of stainless steel, aluminum, and plastic with an o-ring seal, which ensures a robust design that is resistant to corrosion and vibration. It features a reliable diffusion diaphragm technology based on a Wheatstone bridge circuit, which has excellent pressure resolution and repeatability. The device is highly accurate and has a very high signal-to-noise ratio for maximum resolution. The circuitry uses a passive bridge design, so no external power is required for operation.

The P51-15-S-UCA-D-5V-000-000 Pressure Sensor is used in a range of applications including automotive, construction, medical devices, and machine tools. In automotive applications, the pressure sensor can be used to measure fuel pressure, intake manifold pressure, and exhaust pressure. In construction projects, the pressure sensor can be used to measure the pressure of hydraulic systems, such as on excavators or other heavy equipment. In medical devices, the pressure sensor can be used to monitor a patient’s vital signs. In machine tools, the pressure sensor can be used to measure the pressure of the cutting oil or lubricant, allowing the machinist to modify the pressure of the tooling to achieve the desired results.

The P51-15-S-UCA-D-5V-000-000 Pressure Sensor works based on the Wheatstone bridge method, which measures pressure by calculating the resistance of a Wheatstone bridge. A Wheatstone bridge is a circuit consisting of four resistors, where two opposite arms of the circuit are connected to the pressure sensor. When the sensor is exposed to changes in pressure, the resistance of each arm changes, and the bridge balances the changes in resistance of the arms. The Wheatstone bridge is an analog sensing device, which means the signal output is in the form of a voltage (AC or DC). This voltage is then converted to an analog or digital signal according to the application’s requirements.

The P51-15-S-UCA-D-5V-000-000 Pressure Sensor is well suited for use in demanding environments, due to its stainless steel construction and durable o-ring seal. It features a high signal-to-noise ratio, which provides maximum resolution and accuracy. The device is easy to install and configure with the available accessories. Its large operating range and high accuracy make it ideal for a wide range of applications.
