Pro-Range PR15-PA-016 Pressure Transducer 0-1.6MPa, 4-20mA Output, G1/4" Thread

This is a two-wire 4-20mA loop-powered transducer. It requires a DC power supply typically between 12V and 36V to be connected in series with the loop. The current draw will vary from 4mA (at zero pressure) to 20mA (at full scale, 1.6 MPa), with the power supply voltage dropping across the transducer.

Yes, the stainless steel pressure port is compatible with a wide range of non-corrosive gases and liquids, including air, water, and hydraulic oil. Always verify the chemical compatibility of the media with 316 stainless steel for your specific application to ensure long-term sensor integrity.

To read the 4-20mA signal with a microcontroller, you need a precision resistor (e.g., 250 ohms) to convert the current to a voltage (1-5V). Connect the sensor in series with the resistor and your power supply. Then measure the voltage drop across the resistor using an analog input pin on your Arduino or PLC analog input module.

Yes, G1/4" is a standard British Pipe Parallel (BSPP) thread, widely used in hydraulic and pneumatic systems worldwide. You will need a mating port with a G1/4" female thread and an appropriate seal (typically an O-ring or a bonded seal/washer) to ensure a pressure-tight connection.
