Metallux ME900 are ready to use monolithic pressure transducers made with 9 mm diameter ceramic cell mounted in dedicated housing. ME900 works following the piezoresistive principle, where the Wheatstone bridge is screen printed directly on one side of the ceramic diaphragm by means of thick film technology and signal conditioning electronics are added to generate 0.5...4.5 V ratiometric output.

Pressure and temperature calibration is done electronically with the on-board ASIC and can be performed in bar or in psi. Electronics provide offset and span correction when temperature changes. Aging detection is constantly performed. This new method guarantees precision and long-term stability.

The Metallux ME900 meets EMC requirements. The ASIC stores production lot specific data for sensor traceability and allows custom calibration. Due to the excellent chemical resistance of the the Al2O3 ceramic, the ME900 sensors are suitable for nearly all aggressive media.
