Ultra-high-temperature pressure sensor
02/02/2024
PCB Piezotronics Inc has announced the release of a new ultra-high-temperature pressure sensor for combustion testing and thermoacoustic pressure measurements with a unique design element that eliminates the need for water cooling. The new model 176A33 pressure sensor features a temperature rating of 760°C.
This new pressure sensor measures combustion dynamics as well as gas turbine measurements, thermoacoustic measurements, rocket motor combustion instability or any high-temperature dynamic gas pressure measurement. In these demanding test environments, PCB’s UHT-12 sensing element uses a crystal designed for more accurate measurements with lower noise during large temperature variations.
The 176A33 single-ended pressure sensor has a high sensitivity of 6 pC/psi, a measurement range of 3000 psi (207 bar) and a maximum pressure rating of 5200 psi (359 bar), with a 1 m hardline cable terminating in a double isolated 10-32 connector.
The new 176A33 pressure sensor is said to be an excellent choice for research facilities that perform thermodynamic and acoustic measurements during combustion research.
