Model 8530C is a miniature, high sensitivity piezoresistive pressure transducer for measuring absolute pressure. The volume
behind the diaphragm is evacuated and glass sealed to provide an absolute pressure reference. Full scale output is 225 mV with
high overload capability and high frequency response. It is available in ranges from 15 psia to 100 psia. 8530B is available for
higher pressure ranges.
Endevco pressure transducers feature a four-arm strain gage bridge ion implanted into a unique sculptured silicon diaphragm
for maximum sensitivity and wideband frequency response. Self-contained hybrid temperature compensation provides stable
performance over the temperature range of 0°F to 200°F (-18°C to +93°C). Endevco transducers also feature excellent linearity
(even to 3X range), high shock resistance, and high stability during temperature transients.
8530C has been used successfully in many blast test situations. For this application, a protective coating is recommended to
eliminate photoflash sensitivity and provide particle impingement protection. This coating does not degrade the superior dynamic
response characteristics of the sensor.
8530C is available with metric M5 mounting thread as 8530C-XXM5 on special order. See “other options.”
