Piezotron® Quartz Pressure Sensor Type 7613C

for Engine Diagnostics

Industrial sensor for measuring cylinder pressures in internal

combustion engines. Sensor and cable together form an oil-
and splash-proof unit.
Suitable for long-time measurements and arduous duties. Im-
pedance converter with low impedance voltage output.

• Viton® cabel, rugged

• Linearity excellent

Description
The use of polystable quartz elements assures security from
twinning even under high mechanical stressing. As a result, the
sensitivity remains largely constant between –50 ... 350 °C.

Application
Measuring in combustion chambers under severe conditions of
fouling, moisture etc. Special design makes the sensor largely
insensitive to combustion residues, and therefore suitable for Technical Data
