A Comparison between a New PPT and PDCR81 Series

Article Preview

Abstract:

Miniature pore pressure transducer (PPT) Druck PDCR81 series are used widely and have been proved to have a good performance in the centrifugal tests in the past few decades. However this product has been off production due to unknown reasons from 2010. Therefore, an alternative PPT is urgently needed in the centrifuge research field. A series of comparison between a new PPT and PDCR81 series had been carried out to check its precision and responding rate at 1g and centrifugal condition. The results show that the new PPT has a nearly equivalent performance to PDCR81 series. Also some suggestions are given to modify this new PPT.
