Ashcroft Low-Pressure Module AM2-1
The AM2-1 Quick-Select low-pressure module is based on a proprietary, variable-capacitance sensor. This sensor is available in ranges from 0.25 to 0/200 inches H20 with accuracies from ±0.1% to ±0.06% of span and is available for gauge, differential, and compound pressures.
They are suitable for use with dry, non-corrosive gases. The variable-capacitance sensing element incorporates a micro-machined silicon diaphragm. Silicon provides optimum repeatability with minimal hysteresis. The sensor is extremely stable due to the sputtered metal capacitance plates being molecularly bonded to the silicon. This design eliminates adhesives from the sensor assembly.
The AM2-1 sensor is also extremely rugged. It can withstand extreme overpressure, shock, and vibration without significant error or calibration offset.
