Sensors detect high-intensity, acoustic sound pressure.

Press Release Summary:



Models 106B51 and 106B52 ICP® Dynamic Pressure Sensors feature sensitivities of 1,000 and 5,000 mV/psi, respectively. Built-in signal conditioning microelectronics produce low-impedance voltage output signals. All-welded, SS units can monitor pulsations, turbulence, and noise in hydraulic and pneumatic systems; detect pressure fluctuations in exhaust systems, compressors, turbines, pumps and pipelines; and measure noise of jet engines, rocket motors, and weapons discharge.

High Sensitivity Pressure Sensors Detect High Intensity Acoustic Sound Pressure Levels


June 1, 2003, Depew, NY - Two new ICP® dynamic pressure sensors from the Pressure Division of PCB Piezotronics, Inc. offer the ability to measure low-level pressure and high-intensity sound pressure levels, both acoustic and ultrasonic. These sensors are designed for monitoring pulsations, turbulence, and noise in hydraulic and pneumatic systems; detecting pressure fluctuations in exhaust systems, compressors, turbines, pumps and pipelines; and measuring noise of jet engines, rocket motors, and weapons discharge.

ICP® sensors feature built-in signal conditioning microelectronics to produce clean, low-impedance voltage output signals. These new units have sensitivities of 1,000 mV/psi (Model 106B51) and 5,000 mV/psi (Model 106B52), and feature rugged solid-state, all-welded stainless steel construction for use in environments unsuitable for standard microphones.
