PFD121 Miniature Pressure Sensor

Model EFE PFD121 pressure sensor is designed with a flush stainless steel diaphragm, in direct contact with process media and without dead volume. It is equipped with four active bonded strain gages arranged in a Wheatstone-bridge configuration. The PFD121, available on standard with unamplified output (mV/V), is able to measure dynamic pressure spikes. On option, it can be set up with a remote amplifier (AMP310). Available pressure ranges span from 15 to 700 bar. The PFD121 can be used in corrosive fluid environments.

Features

  • Flush diaphragm sensor
  • Sub miniature pressure transducer
  • High natural frequency
  • Operating from -40 to +90°C

Applications

  • Military
  • Chimie
  • Instrumentation
  • Pharmaceuticals applications

The EFE Engineering Department is responsible for designing all our sensors, from sensing elements to state of the art PCBs. To meet the customer’s high requirements, EFE decided very early on to develop its propriety sensing technology for pressure transducers. This technology, thin film, is manufactured mainly using a physical vapour deposit, and more precisely sputtering process on a metal diaphragm (stainless steel, titanium, inconel, hastelloy, etc.). This film is used by EFE is the only technology which does not require any intermediary between the sensing element and the fluid to be measured as with an oil separator for silicon based sensors or O-rings for ceramic technology.
