C15 - reference pressure transducer up to 1MN

The C15 force reference pressure transducer allows calibration with capacities from 2.5kN to 1MN

The C15 reference force transducer is a robust (EMC tested, corrosion, shock and vibration resistant), shear force sensing based transducer with a nominal (rated) measurement range between 2.5kN and 1MN. The C15 force gauge meets the requirements of accuracy class 00 according to ISO 376 in an exceptionally wide measuring range from 10% to 100% of appropriate capacity.

Thanks to the very high output signal of the sensor - more than 4mV/V, for versions with a capacity of 25kN and higher - the entire input range of the measuring amplifier can be used. This guarantees high resolution and an exceptional signal-to-noise ratio.

Sister model of the C15 sensor, reference force sensor U15, it is ideal for reference measurement of tensile and compressive forces.
