Pressure Sensors
FCI’s piezoresistive pressure sensing technology
permits highly reliable detection of pressure in the
harshest aerospace and military applications with a
no moving part element. With reported Mean Time
Between Failure (MTBF) in excess of 60,000+ hours,
FCI’s Pressure Sensors are specified as switches and
transmitters to detect pressure values in air,
hydraulic and gearbox oil, coolants, potable water,
fuel and other fluids and applications.

The
typical pressure element is installed with a flanged
or threaded process connection through the wall of
the pipe, duct, reservoir or gearbox, while the
electronics are integrally mounted to the element.
The hermetically or environmentally sealed housing
for the electronics is equipped with an electrical
connector or flying lead for connection with the
customer’s system or data buss. The electronics
include a set point that is an open collector,
switch contacts or a digital output that reliably
indicate that the process pressure is above or below
the measured pressure in the application. FCI’s
technical staff can describe existing designs that
meet many requirements, and they can provide
recommendations for modified designs for application
specific requirements. FCI provides sensors for
temperature service to 500° F [260° C] and pressures
to 5000 psig [345 bar(g)].
Typical applications include pressure sensing of
air, oil in hydraulic, lubricating and gearbox
systems, fluids in coolant and heating systems, fuel
in tanks and reservoirs and water in potable and
gray water systems. Please review specific
applications in the Applications Section of our Web
Page.
