Ceracore USC30: Capacitive Measuring Cell

The Ceracore capacitive ceramic measuring cell — otherwise referred to as the “heart” of pressure gauges — ensures affordable, trustworthyand secure process control in millions of Endress+Hauser pressure gauges and customer-specific applications.

The new Ceracore measuring cell provides users with even better performance, increased flexibility adaptations to the applicationand an application-specific configurability. The latest generation of the Ceracore measuring cell guarantees dependable measurements and an exceptional level of stability thanks to:

Outside diameter measuring around 17.5 mm

Standardized ranges measuring from 0–100 mbar to 0–100 bar

Metallic coating of the sensor base element for enhanced EMC compatibility and decreased installation sensitivity

Patented metallic active solder connection of sensor base element and membrane

Composed of high-purity ceramic (99.9% Al₂O₃), highly resistantand chemically neutral to an extensive range of process media

Considered a dry measuring cell without using oils for pressure transmission, the Ceracore is completely vacuum-resistant
