Built for accuracy andprecision, Druck pressure
sensors are one of theleading technologies in theworld of industrial testing.

2[ Our pressure sensors are oneof the leading technologies in
the world of industrial testing ]Pressure is a vital parameter in millions of industrial processes
and applications today. When it comes to pressure sensing,the Druck product range embodies over 40 years of experience
designing and manufacturing some of the most accurate andreliable pressure measurement solutions on the market. Druck’s
range of pressure technologies gives you peace of mind thatyou are getting the reliable data you need, to make the rightdecisions to keep your business and equipment running safely.

When it comes to data gathering in industrial
applications there are three key areas toconsider: test applications, on‑vehicle test
and engine test cells. As a result, our sensor
technology has been developed to support
some of the most rigorous, challenging andprecise applications. Our high accuracypressure sensors are highly suited for use inthese challenging industrial applications:

Test applications
To operate effectively in test applications you need
confidence in the reliability of your instrumentation,
which is critical to quality data collection. When facedwith rapidly changing conditions, potential unit failuresand extreme environments, durability and robust
design are key.

On-vehicle test
On-vehicle testing means dealing with limited space,
rapid changes in temperature and high vibration
environments. Managing your instrumentation
effectively in such conditions requires speed,
precision and accuracy.

Engine test cells
Engine test cells are challenging environments,
producing dust, dirt and corrosive chemicals.
When faced with an unpredictable operating
environment, robust construction is essential
to reliable data collection.

Our products are designed to be robust in challenging
environments. Features to cope with high shock andvibration environments include:

At Druck, we understand accurate data is required
across all testing conditions. As a result, our rangeof pressure sensors and transmitters give reliable
performance, unbeaten in the field, with excellent
stability and high-accuracy measurements better
than 0.01% FS.

Cost of ownership
Test applications are often expensive.
Consequently you need instrumentation which isefficient, reliable and cost effective. Our sensors
use proven Druck technology to offer fast response
times to changing pressures (approximately 1ms), designed to help you reduce downtime andoptimize processes. This combination of a hightechnology sensor, together with advanced signal
conditioning and packaging techniques, provides
an ideal long term solution for reliable, accurate
and economical measurements.

Process optimization

Test repetition

CANBus communications with less wiring
requirements reduces the time it takes to set-up
for testing and increases the speed data is transferred
to your computer systems, reducing downtime
and streamlining processes.

In this application, tests are often performed
repeatedly, rhythmically and quickly. Our sensors
offer a long operating life, designed to withstandfrequent use. Our silicon sensors can withstandmillions of pressure cycles without any degradationof performance. You can have confidence in yourinstrumentation, which will serve you for many years
and reduce your cost of ownership.

Variation in pressure
Testing can be on all types of pressure applications.
You need equipment that is made to withstandvariations in pressure. Analogue circuitry provides
faster response times (<1 ms), allowing rapid changes
in pressure to be recorded quickly and accurately.
Our products offer:• High pressure measurements up to 700 bar• 	Low pressure measurements with full scalesof 70 mbar
• Gauge, absolute and differential references
A wide selection of pressure connectors allows forsimple, secure and safe connections to the pressure
media in a style that suits your environment.

Inventory management
When working with large amounts of equipment,
managing and tracking your inventory can prove achallenging task. The integration of our Calibration
and Asset Management Software 4Sight2 into youroperations can help manage complex schedules,
provide consistent documentation and deliver valuable
insights into the use and wear of your equipment.
With software solutions, like 4Sight2, you can accessreal time insights into the status of your inventory andcalibration history, making operations more efficientand audits easier.

10Reliability when you
need it mostAll of our components are designed and built toperform in the most hostile of environments.

Limited spaceWith a sensor diameter as small as 12.5 mm,units can be deployed in narrow or confined spaces.
Use of the highest quality alloys allows small body
construction without compromising performanceor stability. Package sizes that are small (25 mm,17.5 mm, 12.5 mm) and light enough to be locatedon machines for testing eradicate the need for
additional expense and delayed readings associatedwith piping out pressure. In addition, our highquality screened cable and amplified or digital
signals are mechanically robust and immune fromelectro‑magnetic interference.

High vibration environments
Fully welded construction in high quality materials,
potted electronics and high quality cable sheathing
ensure both the highest IP rating and reduce the riskof damage, giving high shock and vibration protection,in addition to Industrial EMC protection to electricalnoise, providing many years of service in environmentswith high levels of:• Vibration• Shock• Humidity• Electrical noise• Temperature variation

Extreme temperatures
Digital compensation allows for overall accuracy of
0.1% that can be maintained over wide temperature
ranges. The use of high quality electronic components
give you a range of options to accurately measuretemperature ranges from -40°C to +175°C, while onchip thermal compensation ensures accurate data in
the face of extreme conditions and rapid changes intemperature to 0.01% full scale.
