About Us

Micron Instruments Corporate OfficeWelcome to Micron Instruments

Just as our products have always been the standard for the industry, our Web site had to keep pace with our reputation for outstanding service and innovation. We made sure this site maintains these high standards by doing what we've always done; Listen to our Customers.

MICRON INSTRUMENTS has been supplying high-quality semiconductor strain gages, pressure transducers and temperature sensors for more than a quarter century.

Our standard semiconductor strain gages are made from "P" doped bulk silicon; they have no P/N junction. The silicon is etched to shape eliminating potential molecular dislocation or cracks thereby optimizing performance. These strain gages have been used in the manufacture of many different types of sensors such as load cells, torque meters, pressure transducers, accelerometers and precision extensometers.

Professional installation of strain gages on customer products along with the option of temperature compensation and calibration is available. Our staff of experienced engineers can also design custom sensors and special strain gages to meet your unique needs. Typical custom designs have been in the fields of robotics, medicine, process control, aircraft and oil pumping control exploration.

Micron's standard line of pressure transducers have corrosive resistant Titanium diaphragms and are available in a wide assortment of pressure ranges. Typical applications are for OEM, process control and liquid level measurement

In addition to our standard line of Titanium transducers, Micron has experience in providing sensors made of 17-4PH CRES, 316SS, Inconel, Tantalum, Aluminum, Beryllium Copper, Invar Plastics and others.

Dual pressure/temperature transducers, pressure transmitters with 4-20 mA outputs and dual pressure/temperature transmitters are available in all of the physical configurations of our standard pressure transducers. The dual sensors incorporate silicon temperature sensors manufactured by Micron, which are more accurate and easier to use than thermistors. These temperature sensors can produce a 100 mV change with 5 VDC excitation between 30°F and 130°F.

Recently developed is our Smart Electronics which provide a 0-5v, 0-10v, or 4-20mA. signal from an unregulated source. It provides a field recalibration option (16 to 35 VDC) and other interesting advantages.

We feel that our customers are the most important people in the world to us and we are ready to assist with your application. We are dedicated to supplying high quality products and services. Please contact us if we can be of any service to you.

Thank you for stopping by. We look forward to serving you today!
