Merit Sensor Systems Introduces Ultra-Low Pressure Sensor Family

Merit Sensor Systems has released a new line of ultra-low pressure sensor products that can meet pressure monitoring requirements as low as 4 in. H2O (10 millibar, 1 kPa, 0.15 psi).

According to a company press release, the new LP Series pressure sensor assembly is a surface mountable (SMT), eight-pin design available in both uncompensated and compensated output configurations. The compensated LP Series versions include both high accuracy analog and digital ratiometric signal output options with each compensated option providing full compensation for offset, temperature and span variability.

“We are excited to add the LP Series family of ultra-low pressure sensor packages to our pressure sensor portfolio,” stated Rick Russell, president of Merit Sensor. “Last year we introduced the TR Series sensor solution to address a market need for harsh media pressure monitoring, and today we are adding ultra-low pressure sensing capability to our portfolio. Merit Sensor has a great tradition of providing pressure sensor products with superior stability and drift performance and the LP Series continues this focus. We expect this product will give application and system engineers new levels of accuracy and pressure monitoring performance.”
