CP Series Gas Turbines & Extreme Temperatures

Product Description

For the most demanding applications for Piezoelectric pressure transducers in terms of reliability, extreme temperature capability and signal stability, Piezocryst offers a line of case insulated pressure sensors with outstanding behavior. The Piezoelectric pressure sensors, which have a well proven design that collected millions of operating hours in numerous heavy duty and industrial gas turbines, are available in various configurations to fit all kind of measurement tasks. Suitable for R&D in the most extreme conditions or for long term monitoring applications. The CP5x2, CP5x5 and CP5x6 were designed to directly measure pressure pulsations in a gas turbine combustor.

Direct equivalents to CP211 piezoelectric pressure transducer readily available as well as custom designs. 

The application in extremely high temperatures, heat flux and gradients during fast ramp-up and down cycles demands a robust sensor not affected by thermal impacts, high acceleration levels and does not show any degradation within its lifetime. Due to the GaPO4 crystal elements and a very specific design, the CP-sensors proved to deliver a clear and reliable pressure signal from most challenging environments.
