DatasheetDynisco MDA4X0 Series
The Dynisco MDA4X0 Series includes pressure transducers for reliable process and melt pressure measurement in industrial high-temperature applications. The sensors provide an output signal proportional to the applied process pressure via a sealed, liquid-filled pressure transmission system. The pressure applied by the medium is transmitted through the separating diaphragm and the mercury-filled capillary to the measuring diaphragm.
The deformation of the diaphragm changes the resistance values of the bonded strain gauge. With the applied supply voltage, this generates a signal proportional to the process pressure. The MDA4X0 Series combines proven strain gauge technology with a rigid connection between housing and diaphragm as well as a smooth, flush diaphragm.
The pressure transducers are suitable for media temperatures up to 400 °C and feature a liquid-filled transmission system as well as an integrated electronic calibration device. Depending on the required accuracy, the MDA420 model with 0.5 % accuracy and the MDA460 model with 1.0 % accuracy are available. The wetted parts are made of DyMax™ coated 15-5 PH stainless steel, material no. 1.4545.
