Ultra High Purity Flow Through Pressure Sensor

Setra's Model 224 224 ultra-high purity pressure transducer is designed for the most demanding specialty gas monitoring and control applications, where construction integrity, purity and performance cannot be sacrificed.
The 224 has a small, streamlined sensor chamber for easy purgeability. The sensor is designed to provide superior mechanical and thermal stability, especially in transient temperature conditions resulting from flowing gases. Isolation of the sensing element from the pressure fitting virtually eliminates any torque effects.
The superior mechanical and thermal stability is achieved through Setra's patented variable capacitance sensor. Its fundamentally simple design features VAR 316L SS wetted parts, passivated to 5 Ra (7 Ra. max.) fi nish for system continuity, and an insulated electrode plate fastened to the center of the sensor diaphragm, which forms a variable capacitor. As pressure increases or decreases, the capacitance changes. This change in capacitance is detected and converted to a linear analog signal by Setra’s unique electronic circuit.
