165A02 & 117B'XX' Ballistics Pressure Sensors

  Request Info 

  • The patented 117 Series Conformal Ballistics sensor measures true gun chamber pressure directly through an unmodified shell case. Since the sensor diaphragm is machined to conform flush with the specific chamber diameter, the measurement process is not altered or changed in any way. There are no cartridges to be drilled or troublesome gas passages to be cleaned when using the conformal method. Conformal sensors have been proven to be rugged, stable instruments, lasting hundreds of thousands of rounds.

  • Our new 165A02 Ballistic Pressure sensor is designed for case mouth shot shell applications to 20 000 psi. It has a sensitivity of 0.2 pC/psi that is stabilized by pressure cycling to 70 000 psi. This sensor is part of our new high performance 165 Series which features an improved design for more stable, reliable measurements. The series was designed to retrofit popular existing mounting port styles.
