OMEGA’s DPX101 dynamic pressure
transducers are ideal for measuring
pressure transients or dynamic
pressure pulsations in liquids or
gases. With their wide dynamic
range, they can measure pressure
events with rise times as fast as 1 µs,
frequencies to hundreds of kHz, and
pressure levels down to fractions of
a psi. Using pure synthetic quartz
crystals under high compressive
preload, these transducers produce
a clean, low-impedance voltage
signal compatible with many
readout instruments.
