Explosion, Blast, and Shock Wave Pressure Sensors

Depew, NY - High-frequency pressure sensors from the Pressure Division of PCB Piezotronics, Inc. are designed for a broad range of explosion, blast, and shock wave testing. Applications include free-field and underwater blast testing, shock wave and time-of-arrival measurements, shock tube research, closed bomb testing, and squib lot acceptance testing.

General purpose ICPВ® and charge output blast sensors feature extremely fast response, with resonant frequencies to 500k Hz. ICPВ® microsensors provide rapid rise times of <= 0.5 microseconds for projectile detection and time of arrival measurements. Free-field blast pressure ICPВ® pencil probes measure blast effects on structures, vehicles, and humans, and feature integral microelectronics for long cable driving. Underwater blast pressure probes measure shock wave pressures associated with underwater explosion testing, and are available in ICPВ® and charge output versions.
