MPT40 pressure / temperature transducer

GENERAL

Micron's Model MPT40 is a flush mountable, miniature, low cost, general use pressure/temperature transducer made of corrosive resistant titanium (6AL4V). It utilizes high reliability bulk type semi-conductor strain gages and temperature sensors bonded directly to the inside surface of the machined diaphragm.

Model MPT40 Constant Voltage Excited Pressure / Temperature Transducer


Titanium hermetic headers permit offering the MPT40 series with absolute or seal reference options. The hermetic header is located just behind the strain gage diaphragm section of the sensor. Sealing the sensitive gages to an inert environment dramatically increases stability and reliability.

Long term stability versions are available. High vibration options are also available.
