Aircraft Pressure Transducers - 7414 T

his bulletin describes the capabilities of Kulite and the wide range of Solid State Pressure Transducers used in numerous aircraft applications that require high performance and reliability. All Kulite Aircraft Transducers have evolved from over four decades of having pioneered the development of miniature static and dynamic pressure measurement devices. This technology has long been accepted in the aerospace community as the "State of the Art". The pressure sensor portion of the device utilizes Piezoresistive Technology consisting of a silicon on silicon sensor diaphragm with a fully active four-arm Wheatstone Bridge. The high natural frequency, low hysteresis and superior thermal characteristics enable outstanding pressure measurement performance in any aircraft environment. Kulite recognizes the severe demands of an aircraft environment which require ruggedized packaging. The Kulite design approach offers small size, light weight and all-welded construction which provides a hermetic product and a protective barrier for the sensor. For many years Kulite has worked closely with airframe engineers to continually improve design and performance. This interface has resulted in many different applications some of which are identified in this bulletin. All Kulite Aircraft Transducers are designed for each application. Transducer documentation includes a Design Package, Qualification, FAA Approval, Acceptance Test Data and rigid Quality Control. Since 1960 Kulite has focused on producing the industry's most accurate and reliable pressure measurement instrumentation. Kulite continues to expand this technology and welcomes the challenge to meet new requirements for the future.
