PSS
Ultra-Small and Lightweight Design with Small Rated Capacities and Suitable for Gas Pressure Measurement
PSS series pressure transducers have a bridge of strain gages inside, achieving ultra-thin compact structure. A thin-film strain gage is directly formed on a diaphragm by sputtering and photo lithography. PSS transducers are installed by adhesives and developed mainly for gas pressure measurement.
Note
(1) Copper alloy is used for sensing element. Avoid measuring corresive liquids or gases.
(2) An epoxy adhesive is used to assemble the sensing element. Therefore, avoid using the sensor
to measure organic solvents (toluene, ketone, etc.)
(3) It should not be used under high temperature and high humidity environments for a long time.
(4) It should not be used under water.
