Kavlico Pressure Sensor Ideal for a Wide Variety of Industrial Applications

February 23, 2009

MOORPARK, Calif. – Kavlico, a global business unit of Custom Sensors & Technologies (CST) has designed a robust pressure sensor; the model P265, which utilizes a ceramic capacitive sense element that can withstand exposure to a wide array of compatible liquid and gaseous media. Housed in a 316 stainless steel package, the sensor is excited by 5Vdc and provides a linear amplified output of 0.5 to 4.5 Vdc that is proportional to pressure.

Specifically designed for pressure measurements of 0–15 through 0–1,000 PSIA/PSIG, the P265 has low power consumption, superior long-term stability, and excellent repeatability and hysteresis. Other significant features include over-voltage, reverse polarity, and short circuit protection. The P265 has an operating temperature range of -40° to +125°C.

The excellent shock and vibration tolerance of the P265 makes it an ideal fit for applications such as:

• Steam sterilizers
• Natural gas pressure
• CNG and propane engines
• Marine and agricultural chemical equipment
• Refrigeration and HVAC systems
• Hydraulic systems
• Diesel & gasoline engine pressures
• Coolant pressure
• Industrial compressors
• Other harsh environment industrial applications

The P265 pressure sensor is available in many standard off-the-shelf configurations or it can be adapted to fit unique OEM application specific requirements. A wide selection of pressure ports and electrical connectors may be chosen to fit the measurement criteria.
