Description
The Pi600 industrial pressure sensor is designed for the measurement of gas and liquid pressure across a wide range of general-purpose and industrial applications including hydraulics, medical, research and development, meteorology and food processing.
The industrial pressure sensor offers excellent media compatibility as standard with its stainless steel case, ceramic sensing element and Viton ‘O’ ring seal. Alternative case and ‘O’ ring materials available for applications where very aggressive media is present.
The Pi600 industrial pressure sensor series offers a wide choice of electrical outputs from it’s ASIC-based amplifier circuit, these include 4-20mA, 0-5Vdc & 0-10Vdc, 1-6Vdc and 10mV/V, as well as a ratiometric 0.5-4.5Vdc signal that requires a 5Vdc supply to suit most data loggers.
A G¼” male process connection is offered as standard along with a choice of alternatives including G½” male, G¼” female, ¼” NPT male and ½” NPT male. Custom process connections can also be offered if required.
We are also able to customise the Pi600 industrial pressure sensor to suit your exact requirements if necessary, whilst ensuring a minimal effect on price and availability.

Case Studies
5 Reasons to Use Our Pressure Sensors in Your Diesel Injector Tester
Curtis Assemble & Test Ltd, a designer and manufacturer of high-performance automotive test machines, use our pi600 industrial pressure sensors in their diesel injector valve pressure tester. “We choose to use Applied Measurements pressure transducers on our machines due to the reliability and competitive pricing. For us they are a fit and forget part,” explains Mark Hobday, Technical Development Engineer, Curtis Assemble & Test Ltd.
Pressure Transducer Delivers Water Level Monitoring in Emergency Tank Shower
Applied Measurements provided spill control and containment manufacturer Empteezy with a Pi600 series pressure transducer. The Pi600 series pressure transducer was connected and calibrated to the digital readout scale on the front of the shower giving an accurate reading of the litres of water remaining in the tank.
