Two New Low-cost, High-performance Pressure Transducers Offered by
Measurement Specialties
Ideal for liquid and gas pressure measurement in demanding industrial environments
Hampton, Va. July 2013 – Measurement Specialties (NASDAQ: MEAS), an expert
in sensor design and manufacturing, has expanded its line of pressure sensors with
two compact, high-performance units for demanding industrial applications. The
M7100 and U7100 feature high reliability at a low price point.
The new IP67-rated pressure transducers withstand high vibrations as well as harsh
conditions, such as dust particles, contaminated water and corrosive fluids, making
them ideal for use in demanding engine, vehicle and industrial applications. Their
compact size is suitable for many modern on-highway and off-highway engines,
HVAC controls and energy and water management equipment.
Designed with high reliability in mind, the M7100 and U7100 eliminate wire bonds
and use only one PCB as well as only a few components. Total error band (TEB) is
1% over the sensors’ -40°C to +125°C operating temperature range. Output voltage
is 0.5 Vdc to 4.5 Vdc.
The new M7100 features a pressure cavity machined from a solid piece of 17-4 PH
stainless steel and comes standard with a 1/4 NPT pipe thread for a leak-proof,
sealed system, with other port sizes available. The sensor features a pressure
range from 200 psig to 10,000 psig and uses the company’s Microfused™ silicon
strain gage for exceptional sensing characteristics.

Constructed of 316L stainless steel, the new U7100 offers exceptional durability with
a variety of leak-proof, all-metal pressure connections, handling a lower pressure
range from 15 psig to 150 psig for more precise applications. The unit integrates
Measurement Specialties’ proprietary UltraStable™ technology for excellent
performance and long-term stability over wide temperatures.
Both sensors feature stainless steel hermetic pressure ports to protect the integrity
of the internal components. No internal O-rings or welds are used, further
enhancing long-term durability of the sensors.
In addition to being water resistant to 1 meter, the new sensors can be customized
for high volume applications.
Pricing for an M7100 is $22 per unit in quantities of 10,000; the U7100 is $28 in the
same quantities. Delivery time is dependent upon quantity ordered.
