CAP IT precision sensors for autoclave applications

Precision sensors are devices that use a variety of techniques to detect and measure a wide range of physical quantities with a high degree of accuracy and repeatability. 

They can be used in a variety of applications, such as robotics, industrial automation, medicine, aerospace, and navigation. Some examples of precision sensors include position sensors, speed sensors, force sensors, pressure sensors, and temperature sensors.

The PT 100 OHM probes for CAP IT autoclaves

CAP IT precision sensors for autoclave applications are designed to withstand the repeated and penetrating steam/vacuum cycle of the autoclave process, while maintaining the highest levels of accuracy and repeatability. 

These sensors are waterproof and have a proven field performance of over a decade. They are suitable for chamber or load probe applications and have superior precision. They are made of AISI 316 L stainless steel, have different diameter options and can have single or double elements and different wire configurations. 

They can also be installed in pass-throughs or elastomer compression fittings. These sensors have a wide operating temperature range and have been tested to ensure stability, repeatability and resistance to pressure.
