PA-100-100D-W

Pressure sensors and transducers are devices that measure and convert pressure into an electrical signal for further processing. They are used in all sorts of applications, from aerospace and automotive to the medical and manufacturing industries. The PA-100-100D-W pressure sensor is a high-accuracy barometric pressure transducer. It is characterized by good reproducibility, small total error (TE) and small transport lag (TS).

Application field

The PA-100-100D-W transducer can be used for measuring atmospheric pressure, barometric pressure or differential pressure (if the barometric pressure is known). Furthermore, it can also be used to monitor and measure water levels in oceans, rivers or lakes, and for weather forecasting and climate research.

The PA-100-100D-W transducer is widely used in medical, automotive and aerospace industries. In the automotive industry, it is mainly used in engines and fuel tanks to measure and monitor the fuel pressure and ensure proper combustion and performance of the engine. In the aerospace industry, it is used in both on-board systems and on-ground systems. On-board systems measure and monitor pressure levels inside the aircraft, while on-ground systems measure pressure parameters on the ground or in the atmosphere.

Working principle

The PA-100-100D-W transducer works on a capacitive transduction principle. This means that the transducer consists of two electrodes, one fixed and one movable. The fixed electrode is connected to electrical presure signal sources (e.g., the engine or atmosphere). The movable electrode is connected to the pressure being measured. When the pressure increases, the movable electrode moves closer to the fixed one. This changes the capacitance between the two electrodes, and the electrical signal is generated through conversion of this capacitance. The transducer then sends the electrical signal to be processed and interpreted.

The PA-100-100D-W transducer is a reliable and accurate device, capable of measuring pressure from 0 to 100 psi. It is temperature compensated, which means that the accuracy of the device is maintained over a wide temperature range (32°F to 400°F). The device also has a small total error, and a small transport lag, which ensures fast response and accurate measurements.

In conclusion, the PA-100-100D-W transducer is a versatile device used for measuring and monitoring pressure in various industrial applications. It has a high accuracy and is temperature compensated, making it a reliable and accurate device for a wide range of applications.
