Piezoelectric Pressure Sensor

Description

The R+P H-1606 was developed for capturing dynamic pressure changes up to 8,000 bar in ballistic applications. The unique GaPO4 sensor element provides a sensitivity of 3 pC/bar. This makes it ideally suited for resolving small pressure fluctuations across the entire pressure range.

The front-sealing sensor in combination with the clamping nut is unaffected by either installation or orientation.
