New Pressure Transducer For Vacuum Applications

NT International®, a leading provider of liquid measurement and control products for the semiconductor industry, announces a new pressure measurement transducer to measure vacuum conditions for high purity, corrosive chemicals and gases for semiconductor manufacturers and equipment suppliers. The new transducers will measure gas or liquid pressure, allowing the user to monitor process conditions for increased safety and system performance.

Using a new inert sapphire sensor, the pressure transducer measures vacuum and positive pressure conditions. Constructed without fill fluids or diaphragms, the transducer provides reliability in conditions where other non-metallic sensors fail and offers accuracy to 1% of span. Available in single-port or flow-through designs, the compact transducer easily integrates anywhere pressure measurement is needed.

"Now, pressure can be measured for corrosive gases and high purity liquids in a vacuum environment without the risk of contamination or product failure," explained Chuck Gould, NT International business development manager. "This new sensing technology allows users to measure and monitor pressure for increased process performance, diagnostics, and safety."

Packaged for harsh environments, the transducer's wetted parts are constructed with PTFE and sapphire for corrosion resistance and high purity, while the encapsulated electronics provide protection against corrosive fumes and liquids.

NT International's patented products measure and control the pressure, flow, and level of high purity corrosive acids, bases, and solvents used in semiconductor processing. Recognized for leading-edge technologies, NT International designs instruments specifically for the semiconductor industry. The proven reliability, performance, and ease of integration provided by NT International's products offer you new levels of wet chemical process control.
