Small pressure, no problem
13 September 2015
The new Type 601C miniature pressure sensor from Kistler Instruments, available in both charge output and voltage (IEPE) output types, is suited to a wide variety of dynamic pressure measurement applications.

The high sensitivity of the unique PiezoStar crystal developed by Kistler, much higher than that possible with quartz, allows small pressure fluctuations which are superimposed on static pressures to be measured with exceptional resolution.
In addition to the high sensitivity and small size, the charge output version has an extremely wide operating temperature range from -196 to + 350°C at pressures up to 250 bar. The 601C also benefits for a high natural frequency (>215kHz), making it an ideal solution for applications with dynamic pressure events.
