Optical pressure sensors - Precise pressure measurement under extreme conditions
The optical pressure sensors in the OPP series from Opsens deliver outstanding measurement results even under the most adverse conditions. They score points with their minimal size and high EMC immunity, making them the first choice for medical technology, life sciences and industrial applications. Thanks to the galvanic isolation of the measuring point and evaluation electronics, these fiber optic pressure sensors guarantee interference-free data transmission and maximum measuring accuracy.
Design and functional principle
In addition, each optical pressure sensor is based on an interferometric measurement method in which the light is guided to the sensor element via an optical fiber. As the sensor element deforms under pressure, the optical path length changes, enabling highly precise pressure measurement in real time. Thanks to the use of biocompatible materials and robustly designed housing variants, the OPP sensors can withstand temperatures of up to 200 °C and aggressive chemicals.
Model variants of the OPP series
- OPP-M - optimized for reproducible and reliable pressure measurements in the medical and life science industry
- OPP-B - designed for long-term use in RF and microwave environments as well as at high temperatures and humidity
- OPP-C - robust design with ceramic or metal housing for potentially explosive atmospheres and the harshest industrial environments
Areas of application and advantages
This is why optical pressure sensors are used in particular in minimally invasive medical technology, biomedical research applications and process monitoring in chemical plants and oil and gas refineries. Users also benefit from the EMC and RFI resistance, which provides reliable measurement data even in high-frequency and MRI (magnetic resonance imaging) scenarios. In addition, the compact design enables easy integration into tight installation environments.
