AST47HP Series Sensors

 The AST47HP Series meets the growing need for pressure sensors with ratings to 60,000 psig (4,000 bar) for applications such as high-pressure wells, hydraulics, injection molding equipment, water jets and downhole instrumentation. These sensors are also suitable for water-jetting applications used in food processing, concrete and tile cutting and metal fabrication. They incorporate a one-piece stainless-steel sensing element that is free of silicone oil, welds or O-rings. The absence of these characteristics eliminates the chance of contamination from outside media, particularly in food processing applications. The sensing element features a thick diaphragm that eliminates the long-term drift associated with high-pressure and high-cycle applications. Stainless steel housing is welded to the sensing element for optimum protection of the sensor’s electronics. Units are rated for over 100-million pressure cycles and operation over a temperature range of –40 to 85°C (–40 to 185°F).
