The AST3100 has been designed specifically for the applications with demanding price and performance requirements. The competitively priced AST3100 offers a choice of high level outputs. The high strength stainless steel construction contains no silicone oil and no internal "O" rings. Measurements are available in gauge pressure covering ranges up to 10,000 PSI. The AST3100 is ideal for applications needing high accuracy, excellent long-term stability, trouble free operation, long life and high performance. The AST3100 is backed by AST's one-year warranty. American Sensor Technologies, Inc. Model AST3100 OPTIONS AND SPECIALS * The AST3100 is available with an output of 0.5-4.5 VDC, 0-5 VDC, 1-5 VDC, 4-20 mA and 0-10 VDC. For other outputs consult factory. * The AST3100 can be purchased with a variety of pressure ports. * For those applications that require unique pressure connections, calibration, temperature compensation or electrical connections, AST, Inc. will design and build to the customer's specifications. APPLICATIONS * The AST3100 has features that make it suitable for use in a wide variety of applications. High vibrations and shock, electrical noise and temperature extremes all of which the AST3100 can handle characterize many of these applications. * Some of AST3100 applications include Industrial OEM Equipment, Hydraulic Systems, Refrigeration, Offroad and Agriculture Equipment. PACKAGING * The AST3100 wetted parts are made from 17-4 PH Stainless Steel which promotes long life and resistance to media corrosion. This high strength stainless steel construction also provides excellent overrange and burst protection. * The AST3100 electrical components are protected by a rugged stainless steel housing which is small and lightweight for optimum compatibility with system designs. * As a totally self contained electronic package, the AST3100 poly silicon sensing element coupled with a high level output ASIC circuitry assures excellent accuracy and long term stability.
