Application Note: P-30 Pressure Transmitter — Precise, Fast & Compact

 

The new WIKA P-30 precision pressure transmitter offers precise measurement for critical applications.

 

The electronic pressure measurement line offers pressure transmitters and pressure transducers specifically designed to meet the increasing design demands of industrial and OEM applications and integrated electronic systems.

 

During the development of the new P-30 pressure transmitter, WIKA evaluated the requirements for test bench technology in the automotive industry. Data analysis plays an important role in test benches for optimizing power train performance. These instruments must meet high demands for accuracy and measuring rate.

 

The size of the new P-30 pressure transmitter has been reduced by 30% compared to the previous Model P-10. Thanks to its compact and robust design, the P-30 pressure transmitter can be easily integrated into standard 19” test racks or cabinets with limited space. Furthermore, it can be connected to the USB interface of any PC and calibrated and adjusted using the optional “EasyCom” configuration software. This software also provides for zero and span point adjustments.

 

Active temperature compensation of the P-30 pressure transmitter is provided by microprocessor-controlled digital signal processing and internal temperature measurements. There is no additional temperature error between 50…140°F (10…60°C). The advanced digital processing circuitry provides a measuring rate of up to 1 ms and is comparable to analog output pressure transmitters. The P-30 pressure transmitter also provides non-linearity of up to 0.04% of span (B.F.S.L.).

 

Special Features

  • 0.1% accuracy with no additional temperature error between 50…140°F (10…60°C) 
  • 0.05% accuracy available 
  • 1 kHz measuring rate for fast data acquisition 
  • Space saving, compact design 
  • Internal USB interface connection for calibration and adjustment

Optional Features


Pressure ranges are available from 100 INWC to 15,000 PSI. Vacuum, absolute, compound and other engineering units are available to meet specific requirements. A variety of electrical process connections and signal outputs are also available.

 

The P-31 pressure transmitter features a flat, non-clogging flush diaphragm for use with slurries or crystallizing media that may clog the orifice of the P-30 pressure transmitter.
