PPT0020DWW5VB

Pressure Sensors, Transducers

A pressure transducer, also known as a pressure sensor or pressure transmitter, is a device used to create an electrical signal in response to a pressure change. The PPT0020DWW5VB is a pressure transducer designed to provide a precise and repeatable measure of the fluid pressure of a given system under test. This transducer is designed to measure fluctuations up to 360 psi with a minimum accuracy of +/- 0.25% full scale.

Application Field

The PPT0020DWW5VB can be used in a variety of applications and measurement needs. These include but are not limited to process control, hydraulic/pneumatic systems, automatic/industrial measurements, aerospace/automotive tests, and industrial/automotive work environments. This transducer is also applicable to environmental monitoring and research.

Working Principle

The working principle of pressure transducers like the PPT0020DWW5VB is based on the use of a Wheatstone Bridge circuit. This circuit is a variable resistor network composed of two resistors in series and two resistors in parallel. When a strain gauge or other sensing element is connected into the network, a change of the sensed pressure results in a change of the resistance of the strain gauge, thus altering the output voltage of the bridge circuit. The output voltage is then amplified and digitized, allowing a digital signal of the pressure to be sent to the system.

Conclusion

The PPT0020DWW5VB is a powerful pressure transducer designed specifically to measure pressure for a range of industrial, research, and environmental uses. It is designed to accurately measure pressure from 0 to 360 psi with an excellent accuracy of +/- 0.25% full scale. The working principle of this transducer is based upon a Wheatstone Bridge circuit, with the output voltage being amplified and digitized to create a digital signal representative of the measured pressure.
