High Sensitivity Acoustic Pressure Sensors for Automotive and Aerospace Testing Applications

August 2, 2006, Depew, NY, USA – Series 103B ICP® Acoustic Pressure Sensors from the Pressure Division of PCB Piezotronics, Inc. measure pulsating, transient, and turbulent acoustic phenomena on transportation vehicles and other structures. These low-profile, high-sensitivity sensors are ideal for applications such as automotive and aerospace wind tunnel testing, aerodynamic testing and analysis, aircraft cabin and cockpit noise testing, and acoustic fatigue testing on airframes.

ICP® style sensors feature built-in signal conditioning microelectronics to produce clean, low-impedance voltage output signals, and are offered in three configurations; pigtail wire solder connection, 10-32 top connector, and 3-56 side connector. Each configuration is available in sensitivities of 500 or 1,500 mV/psi (72.5 or 217.5 mV/kPa) and ranges of 10 or 3.33 psi (68.95 or 22.96 kPa). Rise time is less than  25 s. Discharge time constant allows the sensors to follow transient events up to several hundred milliseconds in duration.
