Burster 8270

The Burster 8270 pressure transducer has been designed and built for the reliable measurement of high pressures. Itis used to measure very high pressures in industry and research. t is robust and accurate. Special stainless steels allow its use even in corrosive liquid or gaseous media. The transducer can be customised with various options at specific request, such as built-in instrumentation amplifiers or extended temperature-compensated ranges In the event of a pressure overload of the sensor element, a safety valve (a hole in the outer body wall having a defined resistance) reduces the pressure in a controlled manner. This prevents the body from bursting. Four film strain gauges connected in a Wheatstone bridge are applied to the sensor element to convert the physical variable (pressure) into an electrical variable. A double-ended sealing cone seals the transducer at its pressure connection. The screw connection must be tightened to the specified torque.
