Bringing digital pressure measurement to Hydrogen Applications

Pressure measurement specialists, ESI Technology Ltd, have created solutions across a multitude of applications, including aerospace, defence, oil & gas, subsea, renewable energies, and beyond…
Recent TUV testing has also allowed ESI to release a range of Hydrogen compatible pressure transmitters. Test passed to ISO 1114-2:2017 the new range meets European Regulations EC 79/2009 and EU 406/2010.

The GD4200-USB for use in Hydrogen Applications
The GD4200HUSB Digital Pressure Transducer has been designed to ‘Plug & Play’! It connects instantly to your PC, tablet, or laptop via the ESI-USB© software and enables you to measure, analyse and record pressure directly on to your PC without the need for costly I/O interface boards.
Nine pressure ranges have been carefully selected to enable the user to cover any pressure that the application requires, from vacuum up to 5,000 bar.
Pressure Ranges from vacuum to 5,000 bar
Silicon-on-Sapphire sensor technology
Titanium diaphragm and pressure port
Sample rate software selection up to 1,000Hz
Accuracy (NLHR) +0.15% of span BFSL
Free ESI-USB© Software with auto-updates
Support for easy integration with applications created by C#, VB, Labview and Excel VBA (api dll library)
The GD4200-H-USB benefits from Silicon on Sapphire (SOS) sensor technology, providing outstanding performance, stability, and highly accurate pressure measurement.
The pressure diaphragm and threaded pressure port are machined from a specialist Titanium alloy specifically designed to withstand harsh and demanding hydrogen environments. This, along with the non-oil-filled sensor and high integrity stainless steel housing results in a robust and versatile unit that offers excellent media compatibility.
The ESI-USB© software is compatible with Windows© 8, 8.1 and 10, and is presented onscreen in real-time without loss of accuracy or bandwidth. The sample rate enables dynamic pressures to be measured with up to 21-bit resolution at user selectable speeds up to 1,000Hz. Data can be displayed in graphical or tabular form, with a choice of pressure units and fully adjustable scales and saved to a file or exported to Excel, PDF and .csv.
Other useful features include certificate generation, customisable certificate templates, leak testing, measure, record and view up to 16 sensors at the same time, virtual differential pressure measurement, set automatic test start and stop times, alarm levels for each individual sensor and auto-updates for new software versions.
