Model 113B28 General Purpose Pressure Sensors for High Frequency
PCB 113B28 pressure sensors use a quartz sensing element to measure shock wave, blast and explosive events. The primary application is measurement of free-field air blast resulting from explosions or muzzle blast. Other applications include pulsations, noise detection, high intensity acoustics, closed bomb combustion studies, and explosive component performance (e.g detonators, explosive bolts).
PCB manufactures high temperature and cryogenic pressure sensors for rocket motor and gas turbine testing. When mounted to an engine combustor, the hazardous area certified 176A07 dynamic pressure sensor provides continuous reliable combustion dynamics data monitoring to help control instability, which can damage components in the combustion chamber and downstream equipment.
Model 66162ANZ1 Two-Wire ICP® Embeddable Accelerometers
PCB’s 66162ANZ1 accelerometer includes built-in signal conditioning microelectronics for straightforward operation and seamless connectivity to data acquisition systems. Applications for vibration and shock measurements to 5,000 g include shock and impact detection of packages or components and bearing and gear mesh vibration measurements for predictive maintenance and condition monitoring.
The Endevco model 72 series are low mass accelerometers suitable for SMT mounting. The accelerometers are intended to be used in a wide range of acceleration, vibration, and shock applications from 2,000 to 60,000 g's. They are ideally suited for embeddable on-board shock recorders, and for ordnance fuze, safe and arm applications. This accelerometer is ideal for measuring long duration shocks.
