Define Your Pressure, Electrical and Mechanical Requirements

After choosing a product type, define the requirements below to narrow your shortlist. Use consistent units and include drawings or electrical specifications where available. If a requirement is still undecided, include it in your inquiry to ZXW.

Pressure Requirements

Specify the normal measurement range, expected pressure peaks and required pressure reference: gauge, absolute or differential. State the pressure unit clearly, then compare your requirements with the options listed for each series.

Electrical Requirements

For modules and transmitters, define the available supply, required output signal and wiring or connector requirements. For sensor cores, review the core’s electrical characteristics against your signal processing electronics.

Mechanical Requirements

For cores and modules, check dimensions, installation space and the mounting and sealing arrangement. For transmitters, also specify the pressure connection’s thread standard and size, together with the electrical connector or cable arrangement.
