Piezoresistive pressure transmitter

Product catalog summary
Overview
The document provides comprehensive technical specifications and applications for the Kistler Type 4262A series piezoresistive pressure transmitters, which are designed for test and measurement applications. These transmitters are recognized for their high accuracy, long-term stability, and capability to operate in harsh environments.
Specifications
  • Pressure Range: 0.1 to 350 bar (1.5 to 5,000 psi)
  • Temperature Range: Compensated: -40 to 120°C (-40 to 250°F); Operating: -55 to 125°C (-67 to 255°F)
  • Accuracy: 0.1% FS
  • Stability: 0.1% FS per year
  • Proof Pressure: 300%
  • Output Options: mV, V, and mA
  • Certification: Hazardous area certification available
Design and Functionality
The Type 4262A series employs a silicon sensing element isolated by a stainless steel diaphragm. Pressure is transferred through silicone oil to a silicon strain gauge configured as a Wheatstone bridge, offering higher sensitivity, repeatability, and stability compared to metal-based sensors. Built-in electronics provide output conditioning, temperature compensation, and protection against electrical issues.
Applications
These transmitters are suitable for demanding applications in automotive, aerospace, and industrial sectors, including engine and powertrain testing, on-vehicle testing, and component/system testing.
Technical Data
  • Pressure Types: Gauge (vented and sealed) and bidirectional
  • Output Impedance: <200 Ω (V output)
  • Frequency Response: Up to 2 kHz
  • Environmental Protection: IP65
  • Material Compatibility: Stainless steel 316L
Electrical Specifications
  • Supply Voltage: mV versions: 5-15 VDC; mA versions: 9-28 VDC
  • Output Noise: <1 mVrms (V output), <0.1 mVrms (mA output)
  • Zero and Span Settings: mV versions: ±3% FS; V and mA versions: ±1% FS
Ordering Information
The document includes an ordering key for selecting various options such as output type, certification, electrical connector, cable length, and pressure units. It also provides information on pressure adaptors and mating connectors.
Additional Features
  • Cal-Adjust Feature: Allows for zero and span adjustments post-assembly, accessible via a blue rubber plug. Adjustments invalidate original calibration certificates.
  • Shunt Option: Allows for simulated output checks without actual pressure application.
  • Remote Supply Monitoring: Helps correct low output signals due to voltage drops over long cables.
Important Notes
Kistler reserves the right to make technical changes, and liability for consequential damages from product use is excluded.
Conclusion
The Kistler Type 4262A series pressure transmitters are versatile and robust, suitable for a wide range of test and measurement applications, offering high precision and reliability in challenging conditions.

Piezoresistive pressure transmitter-1

<ISTLER measure, analyze, innovate. The modular high performance pressure transmitters of the Type 4262A series are characterized by high accuracy and excellent long-term stability, even in harsh environments with high temperature extremes, high vibration and shock loads. • Gauge / relative pressure • Pressure ranges from 0.1 to 350 bar (1.5 to 5 000 psi) • Wide choice of pressure & electrical connections • Electrical output options mV, V and mA • Hazardous area certification (optional) Description The piezoresistive gauge pressure transmitters of the Type 4262A series can be used for a variety of applications where static as well as dynamic pressures up to 2 kHz need to be measured. At the core of the Type 4262A series there is a silicon sensing element mounted within a high integrity seal assembly that is fully isolated from the pressure media by a welded 316L stainless steel diaphragm. The pressure to be measured acts on the sensor's diaphragm and is transferred through incompressible silicone oil to a micro machined silicon strain gauge configured as a Wheatstone bridge. The advantages of silicon, compared with metal, based strain gauge pressure sensors is their higher sensitivity, better repeatability, higher signal to noise ratio, higher overload and a significantly higher long-term stability. The pressure sensing assembly features a unique sealing method (US Patent 7,373,827) that enables the sensor to withstand multiple cycles without fatigue. This design also enables flexibility in choice of pressure connections without the use of adaptors or O-rings. Built in electronics condition the output from the silicon sensing element, provide for temperature compensation, EMC protection, reverse polarity, power supply regulation, over voltage, short circuit protection and configure the electrical output for a wide choice of voltage or mA outputs. Finally, every Type 4262A transmitter is fully tested over both pressure and temperature to ensure compliance to the specifications. This data is available for each sensor and is traceable to ISO 17025 and NIST. This information corresponds to the current state of knowledge. Kistler reserves the right to make technical changes. Liability for consequential damage resulting from the use of Kistler products is excluded. Applications Type 4262A series from Kistler is well suited for demanding pressure applications in the R&D, engine test, road test, component test and other test applications supporting the automotive, aerospace and industrial markets.
