Frequently asked questions about Low pressure sensors
Answers to the most important technical questions
What low measuring ranges are available for low-pressure transducers?
Low-pressure transducers from Althen are available for very small pressure ranges in the mbar and Pa range. Depending on the model, the measuring ranges start as low as 0–0.1 mbar and extend up to 0–1,000 mbar or 0–1 bar. The DPS series, for example, is suitable for gauge, vacuum and differential pressure measurements of non-aggressive gases in ranges from 0.1 mbar to 1,000 mbar.
For low gauge or absolute pressure measurements, sensors such as the ALP1000 from 0–50 mbar and the APR3110 from 0–100 mbar are also available. These transducers are suitable for applications such as filter monitoring, room pressure measurement, air and gas pressure monitoring, leak testing, medical technology or HVAC applications.
The suitable measuring range depends on the medium, pressure type, required accuracy, output signal and ambient conditions. Althen supports you in selecting the right low-pressure transducer for your application.
What accuracies do low-pressure transducers provide?
The accuracy of low-pressure transducers from Althen depends on the specific sensor type, measuring range and output signal. Depending on the model, accuracies in the range of approximately ±0.2% to ±1% of full scale are possible.
For particularly precise low-pressure measurements, sensors with high resolution and stable signal processing are available. In very small pressure ranges in the mbar or Pa range, factors such as mounting position, temperature, zero-point stability, medium and ambient conditions play an important role in addition to sensor accuracy.
The required accuracy depends on the application, for example filter monitoring, room pressure measurement, leak testing, laboratory applications or process monitoring. Althen supports you in selecting a low-pressure transducer with the right accuracy for your measurement task.
For which media are low-pressure transducers suitable?
Low-pressure transducers from Althen are suitable, depending on the model, for air, non-aggressive gases and certain liquids. Typical applications include the monitoring of room pressure, filters, air flows, leaks or low process pressures in laboratory, HVAC, medical and industrial applications.
For pure air and gas pressure measurements, highly sensitive sensors for very low pressure ranges are available. For applications involving liquids, more aggressive media or humid environments, material compatibility, seal, process connection and protection class must be selected accordingly.
The suitable low-pressure transducer depends on the medium, pressure range, measuring principle and environmental conditions. Althen supports you in selecting a sensor that reliably matches the specific application.
