Measurement characteristicsPressure drop measurement (absolute): range 0.05 to 110 kPa — resolution 1 Pa — accuracy*: 2% F.S.
Vacuum decay: range up to 2000 Pa — resolution 1 Pa — accuracy*: 2% F.S.
*Accuracy = linearity + repeatability + hysteresis
TechnologyThe standard pressure decay method compares the sealed part pressure with atmospheric pressure using a piezo pressure sensor. It detects small pressure variations and is suitable for applications where ultra-high accuracy or extremely short cycle times are not required.
