New pressure transmitter P-30
Precise, fast - and compact!

"Three-in-one" solution for high expectations

Klingenberg, April 2009.

When using pressure transmitters for precision measurements, users often had to compromise depending on the priority of the requirements. The new P-30 from WIKA now combines the three most important characteristics of its instrument category: This product, which is presented for the first time at the INTERKAMA+ 2009 fair, is highly precise, very fast and at the same time very compact.

For the development of this new pressure transmitter, WIKA looked at the requirements of engine test bench technology in the automotive sector. In these test benches, a quick data acquisition and analysis plays a more and more important role in the tests for optimising the power trains. The used measuring instruments must therefore fulfil high demands with regard to accuracy and measuring rate.

The P-30 transmitter is characterised by a high precision with active temperature compensation. Its fast measuring rate - up to 1 ms - allows a data acquisition of up to 1 kHz. The new pressure transmitter works with an accuracy of up to 0.1 % without additional temperature error in a range of 0 ... 50 ºC. Excellent values with regard to the non-linearity of the characteristic curve and its long-term stability can be added.

WIKA has concentrated this high measuring quality of the P-30 in very little space. In comparison with its predecessor P-10, the size of the new instrument has been reduced by 30%. Thanks to its compact and robust design, the pressure transmitter can be integrated without problems into a system or 19" rack. Furthermore, it can be connected to the USB interface of any PC and calibrated and adjusted using the configuration software "EasyCom".
