Please consult factory Amphenol Advanced Sensors NPI-15 Series Specifications Description The NovaSensor NPI-15 Series incorporates stateof-the-art IsoSensor technology, which gives the OEM user the best in price and performance. They are designed to operate in hostile environments and yet give the outstanding sensitivity, linearity, and hysteresis of a silicon sensor. The piezoresistive sensor chip is housed in a fluid-filled cylindrical cavity and isolated from the measured media by a stainless steel diaphragm and body. As with all NovaSensor silicon sensors, the NPI-15 Series employs SenStable® processing technology, providing excellent stability The modular design allows for a variety of pressure port modules which are hermetically welded to the sensor header module. Standard types A, B, H, and J are shown to the right. For compensation of temperature effects, a complete resistor network is supplied on a hybrid ceramic substrate. The IsoSensor design minimizes temperature errors to provide a maximum offset errors of 0.75% FSO over the 32°F to 158°F (0°C to 70°C) compensated range.
