H2-low and medium pressure sensor L-MPS

For medium pressure applications and fuel cell systems

Our low pressure sensor L-MPS was specifically develped for use in hydrogen (H2) applications, such as fuel cells and pressure regulators.

The sensor has variants for pressure ranges up to 6 bar (low pressure variant) or up to 30 bar (medium pressure variant), and is designed for measuring pressure in stationary and mobile applications.

Materials that come into contact with fluids have been selected in accordance with the requirements for use with hydrogen and withstand the high stresses of use in hydrogen environments, even over long service lives. The sensors are available with analog output signal.
