Rocket Motor Pressure Sensors

High Temperature & Cryogenic Pressure Sensors

PCB® manufactures both high temperature and cryogenic sensors for rocket motor testing. Both water cooled quartz sensors and uncooled UHT-12™ sensors are available.

PCB High Temperature dynamic pressure sensors can be structured with a quartz element (112 Series) or a UHT-12 element (176 Series). Quartz sensors operate, without cooling, up to +750 °F (+399 °C) on compressors and pumps. Special mounting adaptors can be supplied to fit existing mounting holes. Water cooled adaptors are available to provide a lower temperature thermally stable environment allowing sensors to operate in applications above their normal operating range. UHT-12 sensors operate without cooling up to +1400 ºF (+760 ºC) on turbines.

Model 112B05 charge output pressure sensor is specifically recommended for rocket motor testing because of its unique ability to withstand both extreme heat and cold (-400 to +500 °F (-240 to +260 °C)).

Series 102B features ground isolation and low operating temperature capability ideal for measuring cryogenic pumps, cryogenic fuel systems, and rocket motor combustion instability.

Series 123 rocket motor sensors are designed for measuring dynamic combustion instability pressures in intense heat flow associated with high temperature rocket motor environments. Available in ICP® and charge designs, a ceramic-coated end piece protects the sensor from the intense flow and combustion gasses, and the water cooling and helium bleed maintains operating temperature.
