Overview: The document describes a Bonded Strain Gage Oceanographic
Pressure Transducer, highlighting its specifications, performance characteristics, and operational parameters.
Specifications:- Constructed with entirely welded 17-4 PH stainless steel pressure media cavity.
- Standard 4-20 mA two-wire output, unaffected by power supply reversal.
- Features a rigid-edge-supported diaphragm sensing element with four active foil strain gages, offering ultra-low hysteresis and non-repeatability errors.
- Special electrical connections and cables are provided.
Pressure Ranges:- Available from 0-100 to 0-10,000 PSI, corresponding to depths between 225 and 22,400 feet of seawater (68 to 6788 meters).
Performance Characteristics:- Full Scale Output: 4-20 mAdc corresponding to zero to full-scale pressure.
- Accuracy: Within ±0.20% of span, measured by the best fit straight line method.
- Resolution: Infinite.
- Natural Frequency: Varies with pressure range, from 8 kHz at 0-100 PSI to 194 kHz at 0-10,000 PSI.
- Proof Pressure: Can withstand 3 times full-scale pressure without performance change.
- Burst Pressure: Greater than 4.5 times full-scale pressure.
Environmental Specifications:- Compensated Temperature Range: -30°F to +170°F (-34°C to +77°C).
- Operating Temperature Range: -65°F to +200°F (-54°C to +93°C).
- Thermal Sensitivity Shift: Less than ±0.010% FSO per °F over the compensated temperature range.
- Thermal Zero Shift: Less than ±0.010% FSO per °F over the compensated temperature range.
- Triaxial Mechanical Shock: 100 G's for 11 milliseconds without performance change.
Electrical Specifications:- Excitation: 15-40 Vdc unregulated, with performance unaffected by power supply reversal.
- Insulation Resistance: Greater than 1000 megohms at 50 Vdc.
Mechanical Specifications:- Pressure Fitting: 1/2 NPT female, with options available.
- Electrical Receptacle: VSG-2BCL bulkhead connector, supplied with VMG-2FS mating connector and 2 ft. neoprene cable.
