ME 504 Ceramic Pressure Transducer Overview of Key Features
The ME504 Pressure Sensor is a versatile and reliable device designed to accurately measure pressure in various applications. It offers an extensive pressure range with options from 0.5 to 800 bar (7 to 11600 psi), catering to a wide range of pressure measurement needs. The sensor supports different pressure types, including Absolute, Gauge, and Sealed Gauge, allowing it to be employed in diverse pressure sensing scenarios. Utilising Piezoresistive technology, the ME504 ensures precise and consistent measurements.
With a compact diameter of 18.00 mm and a flush mount structure, it is easily integrated into systems where space is limited. The sensor provides a Differential mV/V Signal output, ensuring compatibility with various data acquisition systems and offering a simple interface for data interpretation and analysis. Whether in industrial, automotive, or other applications, the ME504 Pressure Sensor proves to be a reliable and efficient choice for accurate pressure monitoring.
Features
The ME 504 Pressure Sensor stands out due to its excellent resistance to corrosion and abrasion, a feature made possible by its robust ceramic diaphragm. This construction allows the sensor to perform reliably in harsh environments where exposure to aggressive chemicals, saltwater, or abrasive substances is common. As a result, industries such as chemical processing, marine operations, and wastewater management can depend on the sensor for long-term durability and minimal maintenance.
Another key advantage is that absolute measurement is available with the ME 504. This means the sensor can measure pressure relative to a perfect vacuum, rather than just atmospheric pressure. Such capability is essential in applications like barometric monitoring, vacuum systems, and laboratory processes, where precise and consistent pressure readings are required regardless of changes in ambient atmospheric conditions.
The sensor is also thermally compensated, ensuring that its pressure readings remain accurate across a wide range of temperatures. This is particularly important in environments subject to frequent temperature fluctuations, such as outdoor installations or industrial settings. With thermal compensation, the sensor’s output remains stable and reliable, minimizing errors that could otherwise be caused by temperature changes.
Designed with integration in mind, the ME 504 is optimised for PCB mounting. Its compact size and electrical interface make it easy to embed directly onto printed circuit boards, which is especially beneficial for OEM applications. Manufacturers of instrumentation, control systems, and portable devices can take advantage of this feature to streamline assembly and create more compact, integrated products.
Finally, the ME 504 offers an extended choice of measuring ranges, allowing users to select the most suitable sensor for their specific needs. Whether the application requires low or high-pressure measurement, the sensor can be configured accordingly. This flexibility makes it ideal for a wide variety of uses, from medical devices and HVAC systems to industrial automation and hydraulic controls, where different pressure ranges are often necessary.
