Validyne Low Range Differential Pressure Transducers

The Validyne DP45 and DP250 are designed for exceedingly low differential pressure measurements. With full scale ranges down to ±1.40 CMH2O, the sensors are ideal for the measurement of very low flow rates of air and gases for pulmonary applications. Both are designed to provide high quality measurements. The DP45 and DP250 are available in a variety of pressure ranges to easily accommodate your research requirements.

For most pneumotachographs and respiratory chambers a ±2.25 CMH2O range is recommended.  For tracheal or pleural pressure a ±22.5 CMH2O pressure range is recommend.
Features
  •  Small Sensor Displacement Volume
  •  Replaceable Diaphragm
  •  Full Scale Differential Pressure Ranges as Low as ±1.40 CMH2O
  •  DP250 is a Low Cost Alternative to the Validyne Model DP45
  •  Designed to work with the Ponemah Carrier Signal Conditioner
