Nexisense WPAK63 Isolated Diaphragm Pressure Sensor: High-Precision Diffused Silicon OEM Core, Preferred Solution for Industrial System Integration

Nexisense WPAK63: Isolated Diaphragm Pressure Sensor Designed for Harsh Industrial Conditions

In process industries, hydraulic power, level monitoring, and precision instrumentation systems, the long-term stability of the pressure signal and media compatibility are the core elements that determine system reliability and maintenance costs. The Nexisense WPAK63 isolated diaphragm pressure sensor adopts imported high-stability diffused silicon piezoresistive chip, combined with mature 316L stainless steel isolation diaphragm + silicone oil filling process, to create a standard OEM pressure core with a diameter of Φ19mm. This product features extremely high market interchangeability, excellent corrosion resistance, and wide temperature range compensation capability. It is specifically designed for system integrators, IoT solution providers, project general contractors, and engineering companies, providing high-quality and reliable raw pressure signals for various pressure monitoring and control systems.

The isolated diaphragm structure completely physically isolates the sensitive chip from the measured medium, effectively preventing damage to the chip from corrosion, crystallization, particles, and viscous substances, while maintaining high precision, fast response, and low temperature drift characteristics. It is suitable for various integration needs ranging from conventional industrial processes to high-cleanliness biopharmaceuticals, and even extreme environment aerospace applications.

Core Technology and Engineering Advantages of WPAK63

WPAK63 is designed with full consideration of actual pain points in industrial field applications. The core performance indicators are as follows:

  • High-precision piezoresistive chip: Imported diffused silicon chip, typical nonlinearity ±0.1%FS, repeatability ±0.05%FS, hysteresis ±0.05%FS, stable zero output, excellent mV-level raw signal linearity.

  • 316L stainless steel isolation diaphragm structure: All media-contact surfaces are 316L (optional Hastelloy C-276, tantalum, titanium, etc.), 316L isolation diaphragm + silicone oil filling process ensures long-term resistance to acids, alkalis, salt solutions, corrosive gases, and viscous slurries.

  • Wide temperature range compensation performance: Full range temperature compensation from -10℃~+70℃, zero temperature drift ≤±0.015%FS/℃, full-scale temperature drift ≤±0.02%FS/℃, suitable for field environments without temperature control or with large temperature differences.

  • Flexible excitation and output: Supports constant current excitation (1.5~2.0 mA) or constant voltage excitation (5~10 VDC), normalized output 70~100 mV@1.5 mA, convenient for secondary amplification or direct access to high-resolution ADC.

  • Environmental protection design: Circuit board potting moisture-proof treatment improves reliability in humid, hot, and condensation environments; optional fully welded cavity-free structure further enhances shock and vibration resistance.

These indicators directly translate into system-level value: reduced frequent calibration, lower risk of misjudgment, extended maintenance-free period, and improved overall project economics.

System Integration Notes and Engineering Practices

  • Installation orientation: Isolation diaphragm facing downward or horizontal installation to avoid measurement errors caused by air bubble retention.

  • Media compatibility: Confirm compatibility of measured medium with 316L/filling silicone oil; for highly corrosive occasions, select Hastelloy or tantalum diaphragm.

  • Signal conditioning: mV output recommended to use instrumentation amplifier (INA128/INA333 etc.) or dedicated pressure transmitter module to achieve 4-20 mA / 0-5 V / 0-10 V standard output.

  • EMC and anti-interference: Separate power/signal wiring, add TVS, filter capacitors, reliable grounding of shielding layer.

  • Field calibration: It is recommended to perform zero/full-scale verification based on actual working conditions and record temperature compensation curve.

  • Redundancy configuration: Safety-critical systems recommend dual-sensor or multi-point monitoring design.
