Altitude Measurement

Solutions for Today's Demanding Measurement Applications

Honeywell's pressure transducers provide dynamic pressure measurements for high performance applications. Whether you demand the most accurate pressure measurement readings on land, sea or in the air, Honeywell's low-cost, high-precision pressure transducers offer you sensing solutions for today's most demanding measurement applications.

Our family of Precision Pressure Transducers provide high accuracy measurements, a wide temperature range of -40° to 85C, a compact rugged design and many software features which make them the most versatile and cost-effective smart pressure transducers available on the market today.

The Honeywell PPT, CE-Mark version is often our customers’ first choice for Unmanned Aircraft Systems (UAS), flight test instrumentation, and related air-data applications. In addition to providing high accuracy pressure readings, the metal-connector CE-Mark PPT has built-in EMI protection circuitry and has been tested to conform to the European EMC Directive per EN 61326-1:2006. Along with the basic 0-5V analog output, the CE-Mark version of the PPT can be ordered with either RS232 or RS485 digital communications. Total measurement errors over the -40 to 85°C temperature range are ±0.1%FS max, ±0.05%FS typical for the digital output and ±0.12% max, ±0.06%FS typical for the analog output. Special-order versions of the CE-Mark PPT, tailored for air-data applications, may be available. Consult the factory for details.

The Honeywell Precision Barometer (HPB) offers outstanding value to instrument builders requiring accurate (±0.4 hPa maximum over -40 to 85°C) and stable barometric measurements in real-world conditions. The HPB uses proven silicon sensor technology with microprocessor-based signal compensation, eliminating the need to insulate or temperature regulate the barometer. The HPB has a pressure range of 500 to 1200 hPa. The HPB is available in RS232, RS485, and TTL outputs.

The Honeywell Pressure Altimeter (HPA) is used in altimeter applications and provides high accuracy absolute pressure readings with ±0.03% FS maximum digital errors over -40 to 85°C temperature range.. The first-time user will be able to use the HPA within minutes, yet capability exists to configure the HPA for optimum performance for aerospace and airborne applications. The HPA is available in RS232, RS485, and TTL outputs.
