Products Description

Our high-precision quartz crystal pressure transducer takes high-purity quartz crystal as the sensitive core. Leveraging the inherent physical stability of the crystal itself and the natural advantages of frequency output, it realizes accurate pressure measurement by utilizing the piezoelectric effect and the characteristic that the resonant frequency changes linearly with stress. It is a high-end sensor specially designed for ultra-high precision pressure measurement in harsh and mission-critical environments.

The sensor adopts quartz crystal resonant frequency technology, featuring excellent long-term stability, low drift and repeatable precision, making it highly suitable for oil and gas downhole operations, subsea monitoring, calibration systems and high-end industrial applications.

Its core advantage lies in that the quartz crystal can still maintain an accuracy of ±0.02%FS and a yearly drift of ＜0.02%FS even in extreme temperatures, strong vibrations and highly corrosive media. Combined with all-metal hermetic packaging and an independent temperature compensation algorithm, it ensures consistent response, no hysteresis and strong anti-interference capability within the full measurement range.

The SG‑HP Series Quartz Crystal Pressure Sensors are engineered with industry‑leading quartz crystal technology, delivering peer‑to‑peer measurement accuracy ideal for the stringent high‑temperature and high‑pressure conditions of downhole operations. The sensor body is constructed from Inconel 718, a high‑strength nickel‑chromium based superalloy, while the bellows are fabricated from Inconel 625. The integration of these two high‑performance superalloys endows the sensor with exceptional resistance to corrosion, high pressure, and extreme temperatures, ensuring long‑term stability and reliable operation in the harshest working environments.

Working Principle of pressure sensor

1. Piezoelectric Effect and Resonant Characteristics of Quartz Crystal

Quartz crystal (SiO₂) has positive and negative piezoelectric effects due to its special structure, and its piezoelectric effect is anisotropic. AT-cut wafers are commonly used to achieve optimal efficiency. Its resonant characteristics are the key to high-precision detection; the excitation voltage causes the wafer to resonate, and pressure changes will lead to regular shifts in its resonant frequency, which is the core basis for quantitative pressure detection.

2. Core Components of the Sensor

The core components of a quartz crystal pressure sensor include a quartz resonator, a force-receiving mechanism, an electrode system, and a sealed housing. It is divided into integral and separate types (the integral type is more commonly used). Each component performs its own function, realizing pressure-frequency conversion, pressure transmission, signal excitation and pickup, and internal component protection respectively.

3. Working Process:

➊Pressure Transmission: The external measured pressure is uniformly transmitted to the quartz wafer through the force-receiving mechanism, causing it to produce nanoscale elastic deformation and changing the internal stress and thickness shear modulus of the wafer.

➋Vibration Excitation: An alternating voltage is applied to the excitation electrode, which drives the wafer into a resonant state by using the inverse piezoelectric effect. When the excitation frequency matches the natural frequency of the wafer, the vibration is the most stable.

➌ Frequency Shift: Pressure changes cause regular shifts in the resonant frequency of the wafer; the greater the pressure, the higher the frequency. The shift amount has a linear correlation with the pressure value, which accurately reflects the pressure magnitude.

➍ Digital Output: The pickup electrode detects the frequency shift signal, which is amplified and shaped by the built-in signal processing circuit, and then directly outputs a digital frequency signal proportional to the pressure. It can be directly connected to a data acquisition system to realize high-precision pressure detection.
