Details

The PGA220 series is a general purpose aerospace pressure sensor. The sensing element is an advanced piezo-resistive pressure module which together with the latest compensation techniques provides high performance measurements. It is available with unamplified (mV/V) or amplified (Vdc, mA) outputs. Wetted parts being all stainless steel (other materials are available on request), the sensor is compatible with most media used in the Aerospace industry, especially corrosive ones (Skydrol, Kerosene…). A high-accuracy pressure measurement on a test bench is one of the main applications for the PGA220. Thanks to compact dimensions and a large choice in mechanical and electrical connections, installation is easier.

Mechanical Fittings and Connections EFE pressure sensors, including the PGA220 series, offer a range of optional mechanical fittings designed to meet diverse application needs. These fittings are designed for high reliability in aerospace and other demanding applications. They ensure secure and robust connections, essential for maintaining integrity and performance in challenging environments. Options include:

  • 1/2 VCR and 1/4 VCR: Optimal for high-purity applications requiring robust sealing against corrosive fluids.
  • Double-ring fitting for 6mm tube: Offers maintenance-free operation with metal-to-metal sealing, suitable for permanent setups.
  • 1/4 HP: Designed for high-pressure systems, ensuring safety and reliability up to 4000 bar.
  • Common aerospace fittings: 7/16-20 UNF and 3/8-24 UNF, providing dependable metal-to-metal sealing.
  • Industrial fittings: M10x1, M8x1 for reliable O-ring connections, and M5x0.8 for compact spaces, ensuring minimal intrusion.
