13mm Compensated Series
0 to 500, 1,000, 2,000, 3000 and 5,000 psia Pressure Sensors
Low Cost, Stainless Steel Isolated Pressure Sensors
General Description
These SenSym ICT compensated 13mm stainless steel devices were developed for high pressure applications that
involve measurement of hostile media in harsh environments. These sensors will accommodate any media that will not
adversely attack 316 stainless steel. This series uses SenSym ICT’s proven piezoresisitive semiconductor sensor chip in
an oil isolated housing with an integral ceramic for temperature compensation and calibration. This design has proven to
be highly reliable, stable, and accurate.
These sensors feature a weld ring collar and special back support ring for high cycle life capability. Parts are available with
pressure ranges from 1,000 through 5,000 psi and can be used with voltage or current supplies.
Contact your local SenSym ICT representative or the SenSym ICT factory for additional details.

Specification Notes:
Note 1: Reference Conditions (unless otherwise noted): Supply, VS=10 Vdc±0.01Vdc or IS=1.5 mA±0.0015mA; Ta=25°C.
Note 2: Span is the algebraic difference between the output voltage at full scale pressure and the output at zero pressure.
Full Scale Span (FSS) is ratiometric to the supply voltage.
Note 3: Linearity is based on best-fit straight line from the zero to the full scale pressure. Hysteresis is the maximum
output difference at any point within the operating pressure range for increasing and decreasing pressure.
Note 4: Maximum error band of the offset voltage or span over the compensated temperature range, relative to the 25°C
reading.
Note 5: Long term stability over a six month period.
Note 6: Response time for a step change from the zero pressure to the full scale pressure.
Note 7: The maximum pressure that can be applied without changing the transducer’s performance or accuracy.
Note 8: The maximum pressure that can be applied to a transducer without rupture of either the sensing element or
transducer case.
Note 9: Common Mode Voltage as measured from output to ground.

Note1: Non-concentricity effects at the diaphragm weld area may cause run out of up to ±0.006” between the upper and
lower portions of the sensor body. (It is recommended to use a counter bore in the mating bore used with this device to
allow for this non-concentricity.)
