American Sensor Technologies has released the AST2000H2 pressure sensor/transducer for hydrogen pressure measurement applications. The AST2000H2 is packaged with an SAE-3 or SAE-4 pressure port, 0.5-4.5V Ratiometric output signal, Packard Metripack 150 electrical connection and optional 1% total error band. This pressure sensor is designed for applications including, but not limited to PEM fuel cells, on-board vehicle cylinder pressure measurement, hydrogen regulator pressure measurement, hydrogen filling stations, hydrogen storage containers and test stand equipment. It features AST’s proprietary Krystal Bond Technology pressure sensing element. The thread, hex and diaphragm are all machined from one piece of 316L SS, eliminating the risks associated with other sensor technologies including media compatibility, weld failures, and contamination through an oil-filled cavity.
