Products Description
Our SG‑HP Series high‑precision quartz crystal pressure sensor adopts high‑purity quartz crystal as the sensing core. Based on the piezoelectric effect, it measures pressure through the linear shift of resonant frequency under stress, taking advantage of quartz's inherent physical stability and noise‑resistant frequency‑output characteristic.
Built for ultra‑high‑precision measurement within harsh, mission‑critical environments, the sensor achieves ±0.02%FS accuracy and annual drift below 0.02%FS under extreme temperature, severe vibration and corrosive media. All‑metal hermetic packaging together with proprietary temperature‑compensation algorithm delivers consistent full‑range response, zero hysteresis and strong anti‑interference performance.
The sensor housing is made of Inconel 718 and bellows of Inconel 625. These high‑performance superalloys provide outstanding resistance to corrosion, high pressure and extreme heat for long‑term reliable operation.
Typical applications include oil‑gas HPHT downhole operations, subsea monitoring, pressure‑calibration systems and high‑end industrial scenarios.

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.
