P51 MediaSensor™ Family
The P51 MediaSensor™ family of bulk micro-machined, absolute, sealed and gage pressure sensors are for both harsh and benign media with superior accuracy over an operating temperature of -40°C to 105°C.
The MediaSensor™ family comes in a choice of three pressure sensing type conventions: absolute, vented gauge or sealed gauge.
These compact and robust sensors, with a wide variety of fittings, measure pressures from 3 PSI to 7,500 PSI and are well suited for a variety of automotive, industrial and commercial applications.

Pressure Sensing Types:
- Absolute sensors – Absolute sensors (PSIA) measure pressure relative to a sealed chamber at a perfect vacuum, which remains unchanged regardless of ambient pressure conditions. PSIA sensors are used where vacuum, or both vacuum and positive pressure measurements are needed in an application.
- Gauge sensors – Gauge sensors (PSIG) measure pressure relative to ambient pressure rather than a chamber sealed at a perfect vacuum. PSIG sensors are used for lower pressure applications where measurement in a vacuum is not required or provided.
- Sealed Gauge Pressure – Sealed gauge sensors (PSIS) measure pressure relative to a sealed chamber at 0 PSIG. PSIS sensors are used for higher pressure applications where measurement in a vacuum is not required or provided.
