AST2000 & AST4000 – Hydrogen pressure transmitters

The AST2000 & AST4000 sensor series were specifically designed for hydrogen pressure sensing applications. Tested to a variety of hydrogen and automotive standards, the hydrogen series combines the best mechanical design for hydrogen measurement with high performance.

Due to its one-piece design without welded diaphragm there are no possible leak paths and weak pints. Containment is impossible as there are no oil-filled cavities which could fill with hydrogen. The only wetted material is stainless steel 316L.

The transmitters are digitally compensated with ratiometric 0.5 .. 4.5 V, 1 .. 5 V or 4 .. 20 mA output. They are available for pressure ranges of 20 bar, 448 bar and 900 bar. With the high accuracy option the total error band (TEB) can be as low as just 1 % while the burst pressure exceeds the nominal pressure rating by a factor of 5.

Applications include all apparatus which make use of pressurized hydrogen such as fuel cells, hydrogen storage, hydrogen filling stations, test stands or back up power generators.
