Aerodynamic test transducer gains protective coat
Endevco's Model 8515C miniature piezoresistive pressure transducer is now available with a double paralene coating that protects against temporary water impingement.
This rugged transducer is well suited for blast-effect studies, the measurement of surface pressure gradients on helicopter or turbine blades, flex circuit applications on aerodynamic surfaces during flight tests, or small-scale models in wind tunnel tests.
The transducer's small size (0.030in thin by 0.250in diameter) enables easy installation on curved surfaces with minimal effect on laminar air or hot gas flow.
The Model 8515C and leadwires can also be recessed into the mounting surface for a flush fit.
Additional features include high overload capability, high frequency response, very low base strain sensitivity and excellent temperature performance from -18 to +93C).
The transducer is available in 15 and 50 full-scale ranges.
A rubber fairing is an available option for airflow smoothing for flight test applications.
The Model 8515C can be specially ordered with wider temperature compensation or rectangular housings.
Endevco's Model 136 three-channel system, Model 4428A, 4430A, or Oasis 2000 computer-controlled system are recommended for signal conditioning.
