Summary

FCI provides pressure elements mounted in protective metal bodies for direct installation into pipes, ducting, tanks, reservoirs, sumps and gearboxes on commercial and military aircraft, spacecraft, vehicles and marine applications. These sensors are available as single point elements that connect to FCI or customer provided electronics to indicate the absolute, gauge or differential pressure at the sensing point(s).

FCI’s highly reliable detection of pressure in the harshest aerospace and military applications is accomplished with a no moving part piezoresisitive sensor element and reported Mean Time Between Failure (MTBF) in excess of 100,000+ hours.

Please complete and submit the attached Application Data Sheet or contact FCI’s Field Representative in your area to receive a technical quotation for your Pressure Element application.
