 MPT50 Pressure & Temp. Transducer:

GENERAL

Model MPT50 is a threaded mount, miniature, general use low cost,  pressure/temperature transducer. This transducer is 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 MPT50 Threaded Mount Pressure Transducer


Pressure on the diaphragm is applied through the hole in the 10-32 threaded nose which is then converted to an electric signal proportional to the pressure.

Titanium hermetic headers permit offering the MPT50 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.
