GENERAL

MPT40
PRESSURE TRANSDUCER

MPT40 Constant Voltage ExcitationMicron's Model MPT40 is a flush mountable, miniature, low cost, general use pressure/temperature transducer. This transducer is made of corrosive resistant titanium (6AL4V). It utilizes high reliability bulk type semiconductor strain gages and temperature sensors bonded directly to the inside surface of the machined diaphragm.

Titanium hermetic headers permit offering the MPT40 series with absolute or sealed reference options. The hermetic header is located just behind the strain gage diaphragm section of the sensor. Sealing the sensitive gages to an inert environment dramatically increases stability and reliability.

Long term stability versions are available.

For line pressure fittings and calibration adaptors, see Micron's Adaptor Brochure.
