LMI – digital low pressure sensor with amplified output
The digital LMI differential pressure sensors with I²C bus and 3 V supply are based on thermal micro-flow measurement within the silicon sensor chip and offer measuring ranges from 25 Pa (0.1 inH2O) Full Scale.
Due to their excellent sensitivity, accuracy, offset long term stability and long service life, LMI sensors are ideal for differential pressure gas flow measurement in bypass configuration. For battery powered applications the sensor features a low-power mode with minimal standby current.
The extremely low gas flow through the sensor ensures high immunity to dust contamination and long tubing compared to other flow-based pressure sensors. The low profile sensors of the LMI series feature a total height of only 9 mm including pressure ports and allow for flexible direct manifold assemblies. Further, the SMT devices are highly versatile to fit to custom adaptors for application-specific mounting requirements.
