PNA160
Pressure sensor for nuclear environment

PNA161 has been designed to operate in applications involving high gamma radiations
  • Miniature pressure sensor
  • Operating from -40 to +125°C
  • Thin film technology
  • Qualified in gamma radiation environment
PNA161 has been designed to operate in applications involving high gamma radiations. Manufactured with the ruggedized and EFE proprietary sensing technology, it has been tested with gamma doses above 1000kGy. Its Wheastone bridge which is sputtered on a metal diaphragm delivers an unamplified output which can be conditionned by standard amplifiers. We can set up PNA161 with our AMP320, a signal conditionning device, totally analogue and without any software or firmware, to deliver a 0-10V or 4-20mA output. We can also supply the adapted cable assembly qualified for nuclear environments. Being all stainless steel, PNA161 is compatible with most of the fluids. Its small package and low mass make it very adapted to application where space is at a premium and generate less waste to be processed. Its manufacturing process, including traceable controls and special burn-in, gives the best insurance of high performance and stability.
