Feature List: ME790 Ceramic Pressure Transducer

The ME790 Pressure Sensor is a versatile and reliable device designed to accurately measure pressure across a wide range of applications. Its pressure range spans from 3 to 400 bar (50 to 5000 psi), providing flexibility to suit various industrial needs. This sensor operates as a gauge-type pressure sensor and utilises advanced piezoresistive technology with surface-mounted signal conditioning, ensuring precise and consistent measurements. 

The monolithic structure of the sensor enhances its robustness and durability, making it suitable for challenging environments. The ME790 Pressure Sensor delivers its signal output in a ratiometric format of 0.5 to 4.5 V, enabling easy integration with other systems. With an 18.00 mm diameter, this compact and efficient pressure sensor is an ideal choice for applications that demand accurate and reliable pressure measurements.

Features

The ME 790 Ceramic Pressure Transducer is particularly valued for its excellent resistance to corrosion and abrasion, making it ideal for use in harsh environments where aggressive media or abrasive particles are present. This property allows the transducer to maintain accuracy and longevity in applications such as chemical processing, water treatment, and industrial fluid measurement, where exposure to corrosive substances or abrasive slurries is common.

Another key feature is its fully integrated signal conditioning, which simplifies installation and system integration. With built-in electronics that convert the sensor’s raw signal into a standardized output, the ME 790 can be easily interfaced with control systems, data loggers, or display units. This makes it suitable for OEM applications, process automation, and any scenario where reliable, ready-to-use pressure data is required.

The transducer is also EMC compliant, ensuring that it operates reliably even in environments with significant electromagnetic interference. This compliance is crucial in industrial settings, automotive applications, and areas with heavy electrical equipment, as it prevents signal disruption and maintains measurement integrity.

Additionally, the ME 790 is thermally compensated, which means it can deliver accurate pressure readings across a wide temperature range. This feature is essential for outdoor installations, HVAC systems, and industrial processes where temperature fluctuations could otherwise affect sensor performance.

Finally, the device benefits from zero stress mounting software, which minimizes mechanical stresses during installation. This design consideration helps preserve the sensor’s calibration and accuracy over time, making it a dependable choice for applications where long-term stability and minimal maintenance are priorities, such as in remote monitoring stations or critical process control systems.
