Custom Design Solutions
Your Options, Your Choice. At Kavlico Pressure Sensors, we put the custom in customer. By matching our sensor
technology to your application-specific design criteria, your performance is maximized. This essential element of our
approach supports your program development and creates a long-term strategic partnership.
Outstanding Sensor Features
All Kavlico Pressure sensors are rugged by design, allowing for installation in hostile measurement environments.
Our sensors feature:
• Repeatable, accurate measurements over the lifetime of your equipment
• High shock and vibration tolerance on heavy machinery
• EMI/RFI and ESD protection, high overpressure protection, and high humidity tolerance
• Compensation over a wide temperature range
With a 10-year minimum shelf life and a lifetime in millions of cycles, Kavlico Pressure sensors are built to last. And with so
many OEM and custom options, choosing Kavlico for your measurement requirements just makes sense.
Types of Pressure References
Absolute Pressure
- Absolute Pressure sensors measure pressure compared with a vacuum.
Gage Pressure
- Gage Pressure sensors measure pressure using the ambient outside pressure as the reference rather
than a vacuum. This outside pressure varies with altitude so sensor output will adjust to altitude.
Sealed Gage
- Sealed Gage Pressure sensors are Absolute Pressure sensors with the reference shifted from a vacuum to
atmospheric pressure at sea level (14.7 PSI). The output of these sensors will not vary with altitude.
