Compound Pressure Sensors for Vacuum and Positive Pressure

Compound Pressure Sensors measure both vacuum and positive pressure using a single device. They are ideal for systems where pressure conditions fluctuate across atmospheric pressure, reducing the need for multiple sensors. Setra’s compound pressure sensors are designed for accuracy, durability, and smooth transitions between vacuum and positive pressure ranges. They support HVAC, industrial, and OEM applications where flexibility and reliability are essential.

One Sensor Solution For Systems Operating Above and Below Atmospheric Pressure

Compound pressure sensors measure both positive and vacuum pressure relative to atmospheric pressure, making them ideal for applications where pressure fluctuates above and below ambient conditions. Their versatility supports reliable operation in HVAC, refrigeration, laboratory, and industrial systems.

Compound vs. Absolute Pressure

The primary difference between compound pressure and absolute pressure lies in the reference point used for measurement. Compound pressure sensors are best suited for systems where pressure regularly crosses atmospheric pressure, while absolute pressure sensors are used when precision independent of atmospheric changes is required.
