IMPACT MELT PRESSURE TRANSMITTERS
I3 SERIES mV/V Output
“IMPACT” is Gefran’s exclusive series of high-temperature
pressure sensors that use the piezoresistive principle.
The main characteristic of “IMPACT” sensors is that they
do not contain any transmission fluid.
The sensitive element, directly positioned behind the contact membrane, is realised in silicon through microprocessing techniques.
The micro structure includes the measurement membrane
and piezoresistors.
The minimum deflection required by the sensitive element
makes it possible to use very robust mechanics.
The process contact membrane can be up to 15 times thicker than the membrane used in traditional Melt sensors.
ADVANTAGES
- Total compatibility with the European RoHS Directive
- High strength
- Long life
- Working temperature: up to 350°C
- Excellent read stability over time
- Fast response time
MAIN FEATURES

0-100 to 0-1000 bar / 0-1500 to 0-15000 psi
• Accuracy: < ±0.25% FSO (H); < ±0.5% FSO (M)
• Standard threading 1/2-20UNF, M18x1.5; other versions

• Other types of diaphragms are available on request
• Autozero function on board / external option
• 15-5 PH stainless steel diaphragm GTP+ coated
AUTOZERO FUNCTION
All signal variations in the absence of pressure can be eliminated by using the Autozero function.
This function is activated by closing a magnetic contact
located on the transmitter housing or by means of external
autozero.
The procedure is permitted only with pressure at zero”.
The Autozero function should be activated ONLY when the
sensor is completely installed on the system.
The “IMPACT” series of Gefran, are pressure transmitters, without transmission fluid, for using in High temperature environment (350°C).
Medium pressure is transferred directly to the sensitive
silicon element via a thick diaphragm.
Strain is transduced by a micro-worked silicon structure
(MEMS).
The operating principle is piezoresistive.
