Pressure transmitters FCX-A/CII

 Both Types use Measuring cell with floating sensor
Floating silicone sensor in the cell neck, to improove the static pressure, overload and temperature characteristics. Protection diaphragm in the cell body allows an overload pressure corresponding to the maximum static pressure without damage of the sensor.

Pressure transmitters FCX-A/CII

 Capacitance silicone sensor
The micro machined silicone sensor is based on the capacitance measuring principle. Capacitance C1 & C2 change with applied differential pressure. Cell protected from temperature variation by silicon fabrication and minimmal physical size. Stress forces are balanced by floating cell design.

 Matching Convolutions reduce volume Convolutions are machined on the body. Diaphragm is electron beam welded to the body Diaphragm is pressed to body.

   

Benefits No damage on over pressure Improved Temperature Spec Reduced Stress
