Application Field

PPTE3000AP5VDC pressure transducer can be used in many different applications including air conditioning systems, laboratory pressure monitoring, automotive propulsion systems, as well as in the fields of oil and gas, power plants, water treatment, aerospace, building automation, medical, and food and beverage. In general, these pressure transducers can be found in any type of pressure measurement application where low-cost and reliable measurements are necessary.

Working Principle

PPTE3000AP5VDC pressure transducers are designed to convert pressure into a voltage signal. This is accomplished by taking advantage of a Wheatstone bridge circuit, which utilizes a strain gauge as the sensing element. The strain gauge will expand or contract depending on the amount of pressure applied, which will then cause a corresponding electrical signal to be generated.

The applied pressure is distributed evenly throughout the strain gauge, which will cause the resistance of the gauge to vary according to the pressure. The voltage output is then calculated using the bridge’s four resistors and, based on the standard Wheatstone bridge equation, is proportional to the pressure that has been applied. This voltage output is then used to monitor and control the pressure as required.

Conclusion

PPTE3000AP5VDC pressure transducer is a precision device that can be used for a wide range of applications from air-conditioning to aerospace. The sensor’s measurement accuracy is ensured by using a Wheatstone bridge technology and a thin-film Bulk Metal Foil strain gauge that provides a reliable and cost-effective solution for measuring pressure.
