Pressure and temperature measurement combined

26 September 2015

Variohm EuroSensor has introduced a compact sensor for the simultaneous measurement of gas and liquid pressure up to 25bar and temperatures up to 150°C.

With no silicon oil, the new EPTTE3100 combined sensor features a well proven thin-film strain gauge pressure measuring cell for safe and reliable operation whilst the PT1000 platinum resistance element provides linear temperature measurement with proven reliability and long term stability.

The new sensor is fully sealed to IP67 and is housed in a high strength stainless steel for maximum durability. With a 22mm diameter and overall length around 60mm, the sensor’s compact dimensions are complemented with a choice of industry standard M10 or 1/8in NPT pressure port interfaces and a 600mm sheathed electrical connection cable for ease of installation.

Nine pressure measuring ranges between 0.6 and 25bar are available with a ratiometric output signal of 0.5-4.5V, whilst temperature measurement is from -50 to +150°C with Class B accuracy.

With an operating temperature range of -20 to +125°C, very low electrical noise emissions and high resilience to shock and vibration, the sensor will suit demanding applications throughout motorsports as well as medical and industrial equipment such as autoclaves and steam sterilizers.
