ICS-NH MPT6C Cryogenic Pressure Transmitter

The ICS-NH MPT6C Series is a cryogenic pressure transmitter designed for precise pressure measurement in extreme temperature environments. Engineered for applications such as liquid gas handling, propulsion systems and fuel storage, it combines miniature size with robust, fully welded stainless steel construction.

The sensor supports pressure ranges from 2 bar up to 2,000 bar, providing flexibility across both low- and high-pressure cryogenic systems. Its design separates the sensing head from the signal conditioning electronics via a shielded cable, allowing the sensing element to operate at temperatures as low as −200 °C, while maintaining stable electronics in a controlled environment.

Multiple output configurations are available, including ratiometric voltage (0.5–4.5 V), 0–10 V, 4–20 mA and digital interfaces, enabling integration into a wide range of control and monitoring systems. The transmitter also offers excellent measurement performance, with low hysteresis, high repeatability and strong long-term stability. Built using a thin film stainless steel sensing element (17-4PH) and fully welded construction, the MPT 6C Series eliminates internal seals, improving reliability and durability in harsh environments. It is also designed to withstand vibration and shock, meeting DO-160 Cat. H and R standards for aerospace and high-performance applications.
