Oceanic Systems Side Mount Hydrostatic Sensor - Fuel / Fresh Water 0-4 Meters

The Oceanic Systems Side Mount Hydrostatic Sensor (4671) is a fuel / fresh water tank sending unit that is designed for tanks between 0 and 4 meters in depth.

Features:

• Applications: Fuel / fresh water tanks
• Works on the piezoresistive principle
• Accurate to ± 0.5% at 25° C
• Standard medium working temperature from -20~100° C
• A wide range of pressure and electrical connections
• Measuring range: 0-0.35bar to 400bar
• Applications: 4291 NMEA2000® Tank Level Adaptor (Sold Separately)

* Piezoresistive Pressure Sensors:

• Monocrystalline silicon pressure sensors have come into wide use in recent years
• Though manufactured with semiconductor technology, they also operate on the resistive principle
• A piezoelectric sensor, measures changes in pressure, and force by converting them into electrical charge
• This generated piezoelectricity is proportional to the pressure applied to the solid piezoelectric crystal materials
• A Piezoresistive Pressure Sensor contains several thin wafers of silicon embedded between protective surfaces
• When the resistance changes, less current passes through the pressure sensor
