Sensor Measures Pressures up to 6,000 BAR (87,000 psi)

March 22, 2012 By Randy Frank Leave a Comment

Kistler’s Type 6215 pressure sensor uses a quartz crystal sensing element packaged with a front-sealed diaphragm in a rugged, stainless steel housing. Design for internal ballistics, closed bomb testing, weapons discharge and cartridge chamber testing, and other extreme high-pressure measurement requirements, the Type 6125 sensor has measurement range from 0 to 6,000 bar (0 to 87,000 psi). In addition to high pressure, the units have a high-impedance output and sensitivity of -1.4 pC/bar (-0.1 pC/psi) with a natural frequency of >240 kHz. The sensors can withstand 25,000 g shock and have a 1µ rise time and <±1% FSO linearity across all pressure ranges.
