ME 506 Ceramic Pressure Transducer Notable Product Features

The ME506 Pressure Sensor is a highly versatile and reliable device designed to measure pressure in various applications. Its pressure range options in bar include 1, 2, 5, 10, and 20, while in psi, the options are 7, 14, 29, 72, 145, and 290. This wide range of options allows for precise pressure measurements across different scenarios. The sensor supports three pressure types: Absolute, Gauge, and Sealed Gauge, catering to different measurement requirements. 

Utilising Piezoresistive technology, the sensor ensures accurate and consistent readings. It’s compact 18.00 mm diameter and flush mount structure make it suitable for space-constrained environments and promote seamless integration. The ME506 Pressure Sensor provides a differential mV/V signal output, enabling easy data processing and integration into various systems, making it an ideal choice for pressure sensing applications.

Features

The ME 506 Pressure Sensor stands out for its excellent resistance to corrosion and abrasion, thanks to its ceramic diaphragm construction. This feature makes the sensor highly suitable for harsh environments where it may encounter aggressive chemicals, salty water, or abrasive fluids. As a result, industries such as chemical processing, wastewater treatment, and marine applications can rely on the ME 506 for long-term accuracy and durability, even under challenging conditions.

Another key advantage of the ME 506 is its small diameter, which allows for easy installation in applications where space is limited. This compact design is particularly beneficial in process control systems, laboratory equipment, and machinery with tight installation constraints. The small form factor also facilitates integration into existing setups without the need for significant modifications.

The sensor also offers absolute measurement available, enabling it to measure pressure relative to a perfect vacuum. This capability is crucial in scenarios where precise, true pressure readings are required, regardless of atmospheric changes. Applications such as vacuum systems, altitude measurement, and certain industrial processes benefit from this feature, ensuring safety and quality control.

Finally, the ME 506 is thermally compensated, which means it maintains accurate readings across a wide temperature range. This is especially important in environments subject to temperature fluctuations, such as outdoor installations or industrial settings. With thermal compensation, the sensor delivers reliable performance for applications like HVAC systems, environmental monitoring, and process automation, where consistent accuracy is essential.
