AST4000

OEM Pressure Sensor, Pressure Transducer

AST4000 OEM pressure sensor product photo

The AST4000 OEM Pressure Sensor can be constructed as a millivolt output pressure sensor, amplified output pressure transducer, or 4-20mA loop powered pressure transmitter. The AST4000 covers a wide variety of applications that require rugged construction, high cycle life, as well as media compatibility to deliver outstanding and long-term performance.

AST's Krystal Bond™ Technology is the foundation of the AST4000. This leading MEMS technology gives the AST4000 flexibility to be used in virtually any OEM application. Whether measuring hydraulic pressure in a manifold or corrosive media such as sea water or hydrogen, the AST4000 pressure sensor provides a thick diaphragm to maintain long-term stability and use.

The AST4000 OEM Pressure Sensor is offered with a variety of process connections (NPT, SAE and BSP threads), multiple output signals (voltage and current), various electrical connections (cable, DIN, Eurofast and Deutsch) and is available in gauge, sealed gauge and compound gauge pressure ranges. It is our goal to make your system integration seamless.
