Rugged SMT pressure transducer offers high sensitivity and versatility

The Endevco Model 8515C is a rugged, miniature, high sensitivity piezoresistive pressure transducer. It is designed for applications including small-scale models in wind tunnel tests, aerodynamic surfaces during flight tests, and helicopter or turbine blade surface pressure measurements.

The Model 8515C is available in 15 and 50 psia full scale ranges with a surface-mount configuration measuring 0.030-inch thin by 0.250-inch diameter (0.76mm x 6.3mm). Full scale output is 200 mV with high overload capability, high frequency response, very low base strain sensitivity and excellent temperature performance.

With its very small size, the Model 8515C can be installed on curved surfaces with minimal effect on laminar air or hot gas flow. For a flush fit, the 8515C and lead wires can be recessed into the mounting surface. A protective screen is provided to protect against particle impingement.

A rubber fairing, part number 30042, is an available accessory for airflow smoothing in flight test applications. Modified versions are available on special order for wider temperature compensation or with rectangular housings.
