Blast Pressure Sensors offer resonant frequencies to 500 kHz.
November 4, 2010 -
Series 137B quartz ICP® blast pressure pencil probes, featuring micro-second response time, offer high-level 5 V output signal capable of driving long cable runs hundreds of feet long to safe zone for data acquisition. Probe sensors can capture both peak pressure and total impulse calculations. Designed for range of explosion, blast, and shock wave testing, units are suited for applications like measuring blast pressure in free-field or closed bunker arenas.

PCB Offers Improved Explosion & Blast Pressure Sensors
Depew, NY - The Series 137B quartz, free-field, ICP® blast pressure pencil probes from PCB Piezotronics (PCB®) have been improved for durability and alignment by lowering the parts count by 40% and internal connections by 50%. The pencil probes continue to feature an extremely fast micro-second response time, with resonant frequencies to 500k Hz. The new Series 137B quartz, free-field, ICP® blast pressure pencil probes are designed for a broad range of explosion, blast, and shock wave testing. Applications include measuring blast pressure in free-field or closed bunker arenas to obtain peak pressure, total impulse, shock wave and time-of-arrival measurements often used to study blast effects on structures, vehicles, and humans.
ICP® technology features integral microelectronics that provides a high signal-to-noise ratio compared to silicon semiconductor sensing technologies, which require external amplification. The high-level 5 volt output signal is capable of driving long cable runs hundreds of feet in length, to a safe zone for data acquisition. Sensors are frequency tailored to capture both peak pressure and total impulse calculations.
