UPS-HSR – USB Pressure Sensor With High Sample Rate Logging
This high-speed pressure sensor connects to a computer via USB to capture pressure readings at rates up to 1000 samples per second. Offering versatile measurement ranges from -1 to 5000 bar, it comes equipped with a 2-meter cable, software and carrying case.
Available pressure port fittings include G1/4 male, 1/4 NPT male up to 1500 bar, or autoclave F-250-C female for higher thresholds. Quickly record precise pressure data with customisable duration and frequency.

High Performance Silicon-on-Sapphire Sensor Technology
The sensing technology used in the pressure sensor is Silicon-On-Sapphire (SoS), which produces outstanding performance, accuracy, repeatability and thermal stability. This level of accuracy enables the UPS-HSR to provide resolution with a precision of 1 in 100,000.
This pressure sensor has been designed and developed for ease of use, reliable data collection and real-time monitoring, to cover the majority of applications where a simple interface to a computer is required.
Without the fuss of complicated interfaces, converters, external power supplies and USB driver issues, the USB interface is simply a USB cable that powers the pressure sensor, self-installs logging software on the computer and has automatic recognition of the sensors that connect to the software.
Test Certificate Builder
The software includes a ‘Certificate Generator’ which enables the user to upload their company logo, enter details about the test, site location, date and add a signature.
Whilst running the test in certificate generator mode, markers can be placed along the graph for reporting on significant events or points of interest. Once the test is complete you can freely print the certificates or export the data to Excel or other spreadsheet/database program.
