Original equipment manufacturers need pressure transmitters that quietly do their job in the background: precise, repeatable and easy to integrate at scale. The Titan TPTd Digital Pressure Transmitter from Stork Solutions is built exactly with that in mind.
It combines a wide 0.5 to 600 bar range with digital I²C / SPI outputs, a corrosion-resistant ceramic sensing element and a modular mechanical design, making it particularly OEM‑friendly.
1. Wide 0.5 to 600 bar range on a single platform
From low pressure pneumatics up to high pressure hydraulics and test rigs, the Titan TPTd covers a very wide span:
- Pressure ranges: 0.5 to 600 bar as standard
- Available as gauge, sealed gauge or absolute via the wider Titan family.
This means an OEM can:
- Standardise on one digital transmitter platform across a large part of their product range
- Reduce qualification effort, approvals, documentation and stocking complexity
- Cover applications such as:
- Hydraulic and pneumatic testing
- Utility and process monitoring
- Automotive and aerospace test stands
- Lab and R&D rigs
By using one scalable family instead of multiple disparate transmitters, lifetime support and design maintenance become simpler.
2. High accuracy and stability for precise measurement
According to the product page, the Titan TPTd offers:
- Accuracy options of <±0.25% and <±0.10% full scale across its ranges.
This level of performance is more than sufficient for:
- Precision test and measurement applications
- Pressure surge detection, where you need confidence in peak values
- Calibration and validation work in labs and R&D
The Titan family is built around a high‑end 24‑bit sensor signal conditioner that allows detailed characterisation of the sensor over temperature and automates calibration and compensation. For OEMs, that translates into:
- Better linearity and thermal performance out of the box
- Consistent behaviour between production batches
- Reduced need for external correction in the host system
If you need analogue outputs instead, the closely related Titan TPTa Analogue Pressure Transmitter offers comparable accuracy with multiple analogue signal formats.
3. Ceramic sensing element for harsh media and long life
The TPTd uses a ceramic (96% aluminium oxide Al₂O₃) piezo‑resistive sensing element housed in a robust stainless steel body.
Key advantages of the ceramic diaphragm for OEMs:
- High corrosion resistance
- Ceramic offers excellent compatibility with many aggressive fluids and water‑based media.
- Combined with stainless steel or PVDF process connections and a choice of seal materials (Viton, EPDM, NBR, FFKM), the TPTd can be tailored to applications ranging from hydraulics to ultra‑pure water.
- Good long‑term stability
- Ceramic technology is well known for low drift, reducing recalibration requirements over time.
- High overload capability (through design)
- The Titan family is frequently used in demanding industrial environments and data logging scenarios where short-term overloads and transients are common.
For OEMs building equipment expected to run reliably for years, the combination of ceramic diaphragm and stainless steel housing is a strong foundation.
4. Native digital outputs (I²C / SPI) designed for embedded OEM use
The key differentiator of the Titan TPTd versus its analogue siblings is the digital output:
- Output signals: I²C and SPI
- Operates from a 2.7–5.5 V DC supply via an onboard microprocessor.
For OEMs designing embedded systems this matters because:
- I²C is a simple, multi‑node bus widely used for on‑board sensors:
- Minimal wiring (2 data lines plus power)
- Easy to integrate with MCUs, SBCs and data loggers
- Ideal for compact electronic modules and PCBs
- SPI offers:
- Higher data rates and very low latency
- Deterministic timing for fast control loops or transient capture
- Straightforward interfacing to most microcontrollers
By using a digital interface instead of an analogue voltage or current:
- There is no analogue drift, scaling error or noise pickup over cable runs within the machine
- Calibration and linearisation are handled inside the transmitter’s internal microprocessor, simplifying firmware
- Multiple sensors can share the same controller without needing separate analogue front‑ends
You can see how this is leveraged in products like the UPS‑GP USB Pressure Sensor, which integrates a TPTd‑based digital sensor with a USB interface and PC software for logging and visualisation.
5. Naturally high frequency response: up to 75 kHz
The Titan family is noted for its naturally high frequency response:
- 1 kHz up to 75 kHz depending on configuration.
For OEMs, this opens up applications beyond slow process monitoring, including:
- Hydraulic and pneumatic transient monitoring
- Pressure surge detection in pipelines, test rigs and safety systems
- Dynamic test stands in automotive or aerospace environments
- High‑speed data logging with products derived from the same technology, such as USB pressure logging solutions
Rather than artificially restricted bandwidth, you can exploit the sensor’s natural dynamics, then apply any necessary filtering digitally within your host system.
6. Low power consumption for modern, efficient equipment
The digital TPTd is designed with low power consumption electronics, which is useful in:
- Battery‑powered or portable instruments
- Systems where multiple sensors share limited power budgets
- Edge devices and IoT modules
The analogue Titan TPT transducer is already optimised for low power use (high resistance, low current draw). The TPTd extends this with a microprocessor‑based digital interface that still runs comfortably from 2.7–5.5 V DC at modest current levels.
For OEM design teams, that makes it easier to:
- Power sensors directly from existing 3.3 V or 5 V rails
- Avoid dedicated higher-voltage analogue loops where they are not required
- Simplify power supply design in compact electronics
7. Modular mechanical and electrical options for easy OEM integration
Like the rest of the Titan Series, the TPTd benefits from a modular design. Across the Titan family, Stork offers a large selection of:
Process connections
As summarised in the Titan series overview and detailed for Titan products:
- G 1/8, G 1/4, G 1/2 BSP male (DIN 3852)
- 1/4 and 1/2 NPT male
- 7/16 and 9/16 UNF (various SAE)
- M10, M12, M14, M20 metric threads
The SensorsONE specification for Titan TPTd lists options such as G1/4 male / female DIN 3852, 1/4 NPT, 1/2 NPT and 7/16‑20 UNF‑2A SAE #4 J514
Electrical interfaces
Stork’s Titan range supports:
- M12 x 1, 4‑pin A‑coded connectors (with compatible cordsets)
- IP65 cable gland with integral cable
- Over‑moulded cable outlets up to IP67/IP68
- DIN plug, MIL‑C, Packard and Deutsch automotive connectors
For an OEM, this means:
- You can match the TPTd’s process connection to your existing manifolds, pipework or block designs
- You can standardise on one connector style (for example M12) across your product line
- For volume projects, Stork can adapt mechanical and electrical interfaces to match your requirements, including custom cables and housings
This level of configurability is one of the reasons the Titan range is a go‑to solution for OEM pressure solutions
8. Suitable for a broad range of OEM and test applications
The Titan TPTd is specifically positioned for OEM use and demanding test / measurement roles. Typical applications listed for Titan digital and analogue models include:
- OEM installations in industrial equipment and control systems
- Laboratory and research testing
- Hydraulic and pneumatic testing
- Medical testing and prototyping
- Pressure surge detection
- Data logging (for example via USB‑based loggers such as UPS‑GP)
- Aerospace and automotive component testing
For OEMs, this breadth of proven use cases is important evidence that:
- The core design is field‑proven in many environments
- Accuracy, stability and communication are not theoretical, but validated by many existing applications
9. Part of a coherent Titan pressure platform
The TPTd is one member of a wider Titan product family:
- Titan TPTd Digital Pressure Transmitter – digital I²C / SPI output, 0.5–600 bar
- Titan TPTa Analogue Pressure Transmitter – analogue outputs (mV, V, mA) over the same pressure range
- Titan TPT Pressure Transducer – passive millivolt output for low‑power or fast-response needs
- Titan TPTLRd Low Range Digital Transducer – digital low‑range version from 50 mbar to 20 bar
- USB and data logging derivatives such as UPS‑GP that build directly on TPTd technology
The benefits of this to an OEM are:
- You can mix digital and analogue versions while retaining the same underlying performance and mechanical footprint
- It is easier to upgrade products later (for example from analogue to digital) without re‑engineering all mechanical interfaces
- Stork can support customisation across the family if your project demands it
