Low pressure sensor
Shock and vibration-resistant low-pressure transducer maintains accuracy at any orientation, and offers low physical size, due to patented capacitative technique
Two common problems in taking low-pressure measurements are the sensor's physical size, due to the large diaphragm required, and its inevitable sensitivity to position, vibration, shock and orientation RDP Electronics solves these problems through a novel patented capacitive technique
The MLP sensor, which is ideal for environmental applications, is suitable for wet/dry differential or gauge measurements.
It is also extremely compact and yet contains internal hybrid electronics to give a high output of +/-1.5V (nom) full-scale.
The MLP's robust stainless steel construction and high over-range capability ensure a long fatigue life.
The sensitive capacitive measurement technology makes the sensors tolerant of shock and independent of orientation.
RDP's MLP range accommodates pressures of up to 1 bar with an accuracy of +/-0.5%. Request a free brochure from RDP Electronics ...
