Fast response from pressure transducer
RDP Electronic's CIP-Ultra pressure transducer range delivers high accuracy and fast response in conditions where rapid temperature changes defeat most compensation techniques.
RDP Electronic's CIP-Ultra pressure transducer range delivers high accuracy and fast response in conditions where rapid temperature changes defeat most compensation techniques By combining basic sensor technology with an innovative mechanical design, CIP-Ultra tracks temperature changes of 100C/min while maintaining an accuracy to 0.1% FS without resorting to costly electronic compensation

RDP chosen to capture kelp data
The National Institute for Water and Atmospheric Research of New Zealand is studying the effect that tidal waves have on the kelps found in the country's coastal waters.
Variable operating temperatures of typically 100-200C and steam cleaning cycles required in hygienic process industries can produce rapid temperature changes and broad temperature gradients within transducers, and this can, in turn, seriously impair sensor accuracy and response.
Slow response to temperature changes rule out some transducers for time-related tasks.
The CIP-Ultra sensor's flush-mounted, smooth surfaced diaphragm is able to respond quickly to temperature and pressure changes to 0.1% accuracy, with a response time of only 500 microseconds.
Its stainless steel construction and use of water resistant fittings ensure that the unit meets all the demands of pressure sensing and cleaning procedures for liquid processing and handling tasks.
The CIP-Ultra range is suitable for pressures of 0-70bar (0-1 to 0-1000psi) offering high accuracy, a 500us response time and an orientation sensitivity of only 0.03psi/g. Request a free brochure from RDP Electronics ...
