Schaevitz® P1600 Series Strain Gauge Pressure Transducers are sensors that provide highly precise measurement of wet/dry differential pressures over wide temperature ranges. Standard versions of this transducer use a 17-4 pH stainless steel diaphragm to sense pressure. The deflection of the diaphragm is transferred to a double cantilever beam by a force transfer rod. Strain in the beam, and therefore, input pressure is measured by four foil strain gauges. An all-welded construction provides high reliablility and stability. Capable of sensing extremely small changes of applied pressure, the transducers are relatively insensitive to vibration, altitude and shock.
