Ceracore USC30

Proven a million times over: Our capacitive ceramic measuring cell with an outer diameter of 17.5 mm

As the “heart” of pressure gauges, the Ceracore capacitive ceramic measuring cell guarantees cost-efficient, reliable, and safe process control in millions of Endress+Hauser pressure gauges and customer-specific applications. The Ceracore measuring cell offers you outstanding performance, flexible adaptations to your application, and application-specific configuration. For safe measurements and a special level of stability.

Ceracore USC30 at a glance

  • Patented technology
    Patented, metallic, active solder connection of sensor base element and membrane.
  • Ready-to-use
    The measuring cell is already pre-set at the factory (attenuation, turn-down, measuring range, etc.) as well as linearized and temperature compensated.
  • Standardized measuring ranges
    Measuring ranges from 100 mbar to 100 bar ensure flexible applicability.
  • Versatile communication
    The output signal is analog (ratiometric, absolute) or digital (SPI, UART) or combined.
  • Broad application
    High-purity ceramic (99.9% Al2O3) makes the measuring cell highly resistant to various process media and chemically neutral.
  • Customer configurable
    The measuring cell can be configured to suit the specific application.
