Description

The PR18-A13C pressure transducer operates on the piezoresistive sensing principle, where an internal strain gauge bridge deforms proportionally to applied pressure, generating a corresponding electrical signal. This signal is conditioned and converted into a standardized 4-20mA current loop output, providing excellent noise immunity and suitability for long-distance transmission to PLCs, DCS, or data acquisition systems.

Constructed with industrial-grade materials, the transducer is designed for reliable operation in demanding environments involving gases or compatible liquids. Its G1/4″ threaded port ensures a leak-proof seal and facilitates straightforward integration into existing hydraulic or pneumatic circuits.

Key Features

  • High-Accuracy Sensing: Delivers precise and repeatable pressure readings across the full 0-1 MPa range.
  • 4-20mA Current Loop Output: Provides inherent noise rejection and allows for signal transmission over extended cable lengths without significant signal degradation.
  • Robust Mechanical Construction: Features a durable housing and G1/4" industrial thread for reliable, long-term installation.
  • Wide Compatibility: Interfaces directly with standard industrial controllers, PLC analog input modules, and data loggers accepting 4-20mA signals.
  • Optimized Performance-to-Cost Ratio: Offers a high-value build for cost-effective integration into automation and monitoring projects.

Applications

  • Industrial hydraulic and pneumatic system pressure monitoring and control.
  • Fluid level measurement in tanks via hydrostatic pressure calculation.
  • Process control in water treatment, chemical dosing, and filtration systems.
  • Compressed air line pressure monitoring in manufacturing and automation.
  • Integration into Building Management Systems (BMS) for HVAC fluid pressure sensing.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the required power supply for this 4-20mA pressure transducer?

The PR18-A13C is a 2-wire, loop-powered device. It requires a DC power supply, typically between 12-24V, to be connected in series with the loop. The transducer regulates the 4-20mA signal based on the measured pressure, drawing its operating power from the same loop.

What type of fluids or media is this pressure sensor compatible with?

This transducer is designed for use with non-corrosive gases and compatible liquids such as water, air, or hydraulic oils. The specific wetted materials are not detailed in the provided specs; for aggressive media, confirming material compatibility (e.g., stainless steel diaphragm) with the supplier is recommended prior to installation.

How do I interface the 4-20mA output with an Arduino or Raspberry Pi?

To connect to a microcontroller, you need a signal conditioning circuit. A precision resistor (e.g., 250Ω) converts the 4-20mA current to a 1-5V voltage signal. This voltage can then be read by the analog-to-digital converter (ADC) pin of an Arduino or through an external ADC module for a Raspberry Pi.

What is the accuracy and response time of this transducer?

While specific accuracy class and response time are not provided in the basic specs, typical industrial pressure transducers in this range offer an accuracy of ±0.5% to ±1.0% Full Scale (FS) and a response time in the millisecond range. Refer to the official Pro-Range datasheet for precise performance figures.
