High sensitivity subminiature pressure transducers from Kulite are being used in Richard Noble's latest World Land Speed Record project.

In the world record attempt, which has been heavily featured in BBC Television's Tomorrows World programme, the pressure transducers are being used for dynamic model testing. Results have helped the design team formulate the final outline configuration for the Thrust SSC (SuperSonic Car).

Kulite type XCS-093-25 psi SG pressure transducers feature a unique integrated circuit sensor. The sensor consists of a miniature silicon diaphragm on to which a fully active Wheatstone Bridge has been atomically bonded using diffusion techniques.

Microcircuitry techniques and the subminiaturisation process employed in Kulites pressure transducers combine to yield a significant state-of-the-art advance in pressure measurement. This makes reliable data acquisition possible in areas such as the Thrust SCC project, which have previously been inaccessible with conventional pressure transducers.
