The Ashcroft® Si-Glas™ sensor enables precise measurement and control of very low pressure.  Although the ultra-thin silicon diaphragm deflects only a micron, the sensor is 100 times more sensitive to pressure than available silicon piezoresistive pressure sensors.

 

The Si-Glas™ sensor is composed of only sputtered metals and glass molecularly bonded to silicon.  There are no epoxies or other organics in the sensor to contribute to drift or mechanical degradation over time.  The glass-clad silicon diaphragm withstands extreme overpressure as well as severe shock and vibration.

 

APPLICATIONS:

 

HVAC, fume hood control, lab/clean/hospital room pressurization, medical lung function or breathing equipment, fan tracking, filter monitoring, or very low velocity measurements.
