B252 IPG Internal Pressure Gage

Standard Equipment by HPI

The “4th Gen” B252-IPG features a simple, fast and autonomous operation that can be used for highly accurate and safely measurements of gas pressure events in closed chambers.

Based on the STANAG / NATO requirements, the system consists of a rugged steel housing of small dimensions, with integrated piezo-electric (the electric charge that accumulates in certain solid materials) high-pressure transducer and onboard memory with battery.
The influence of the extremely small (again reduced) volumes of 19/15/7ccm to measuring results are neglectable. This cannot be guaranteed for gages of larger volumes.

Features and Advantages

  • Fast data communication via USB Reader
  • Small volume from 19ccm to 7ccm
  • Non-Volatile memory
  • Limitless read out time
  • Temperature measurement
  • Measurement of battery voltage
  • No cable connection
  • No work adaptation
  • Fast and easy handling
  • No special test guns required – any gun in service can be used

Task

A special task-oriented software serves for programming and data read out. The software offers a number of features such as:

  • Administration of several IPG’s
  • Creation of measuring plans
  • Data handling and evaluation
  • Reports on screen and printer
  • Data storage on disc
  • Statistical evaluation
  • Comparison of gas pressure curves
  • Data Export
