PPT2-0002GWG5VE

Pressure Sensors, Transducers

The PPT2-0002GWG5VE is a pressure sensor, transducer used as a direct pressure measure transmitter in industrial and commercial applications. As transducers, they measure a physical quantity, such as pressure, and then convert this information into an electrical signal. This pressure sensor is reliable, robust, and easy to install, while being cost effective and having a long operating life. It is suitable for both process and discrete measurements in industrial, military, test and remote sensing applications.

Principle of operation

The PPT2-0002GWG5VE pressure sensor contains a pressure diaphragm which is sensitive to pressure variations. The pressure is then converted into an electrical signal. This is done by four strain gauges distributed in a Wheatstone bridge circuit. The circuit is designed to measure strain or pressure applied to the bridge circuit. The diaphragm is linked to the optical encoder (a potentiometer) whose output is connected to the bridge. As the pressure or strain changes, the optical encoder changes voltage in the bridge, resulting in a change in the bridge\'s output voltage (the output of the pressure sensor). The output signal is amplified, digitized and then outputted as a 4-20 mA signal or proprietary protocol.

Application fields and benefits

The PPT2-0002GWG5VE transducers are typically used in industrial pressure applications. These pressure sensors can measure pressure from 0.5 psig to 30 psig. It is used in various industrial fields such as, but not limited to, food processing and beverage production, water and wastewater, natural gas storage/transport, and compressed air systems.Other advantages of using this pressure sensor are that it is resistant to corrosive liquids, provides undistorted signals even in vibrations or pressure shocks, and it is cost effective and easy to install. Additionally, this pressure sensor is suitable for use in hazardous applications with both intrinsically safe and non-intrinsically safe options.

Conclusion

The PPT2-0002GWG5VE transducer is a reliable and versatile pressure measurement system. It is suitable for a wide range of industrial and military applications, providing high accuracy and cost-effectiveness. The pressure sensor is also robust and easy to install, with a long life expectancy, making it an ideal choice for any pressure measurement application.
