The CP216-143-216-000-251 piezoelectric dynamic pressure sensor is used to measure dynamic pressure signals such as pressure pulsation, transient pressure changes, and pressure oscillations. This model adopts the piezoelectric measurement principle and does not require an external excitation power supply. The output is a charge signal. Usually, it needs to be combined with charge conversion/signal conditioning equipment such as Vibro-Meter IPC704 for signal conversion before being connected to the back-end data acquisition or monitoring system. Its application focuses include gas turbines, engine test benches, and other scenarios involving high temperatures, high pressures, and dynamic pressure monitoring.

Special attention is required: 143-216-000-251 is a part of the complete order number and cannot be determined solely based on CP216. The CP216 series has different connector and cable configurations, so when replacing, the complete Part Number should be used as the basis. The original CP216 product documentation also distinguishes the order numbers according to LEMO and Vibro-Meter high-temperature connectors.
Product positioning
143-216-000-251 CP216 piezoelectric dynamic pressure sensor is designed for extreme industrial environments and high-demand dynamic pressure monitoring scenarios. It uses highly stable artificial piezoelectric materials and features an extremely wide temperature range, high pressure capacity, wide frequency response, and resistance to shock.
Unlike ordinary static pressure transmitters, the main function of the CP216 is not to continuously output the traditional industrial pressure 4–20 mA signal, but to capture: Pressure Pulsation
Dynamic Pressure
Transient Pressure
Pressure Oscillation
Combustion Pressure Fluctuation
Therefore, it is more suitable for high-speed dynamic pressure testing and condition monitoring.
The sensor uses piezoelectric materials, which generate charge outputs related to mechanical action when subjected to pressure changes. The back end requires the use of a suitable charge converter/signal conditioner to convert and condition the signals.
143-216-000-251 CP216 measures pressure based on the piezoelectric effect principle. When subjected to force or pressure, piezoelectric materials generate electric charges, and the magnitude of these charges is proportional to the applied pressure. The CP216 uses artificially synthesized piezoelectric ceramic materials, which have higher sensitivity and better frequency response characteristics, enabling the sensor to perform exceptionally well in dynamic pressure measurement.

Installation Key Points and Techniques
Sensor installation location:
Ensure that the sensing points can truly reflect the changes in pressure.;
Avoid installing in areas with strong electromagnetic interference.
Proper welding or threaded installation, ensuring no leakage.
Cable wiring:
Mineral-insulated cables should be avoided from being subjected to severe bending.
Install guide pipes or protective pipes to prevent damage from external forces.
Signal conditioning:
Since the output is a piezoelectric charge signal, it is recommended to use dedicated charge amplifiers (IPC704/IPC705) and other devices for signal conversion, calibration, and noise suppression.
Although CP216 has the ability to withstand high temperatures, prolonged extreme operation will cause temperature drift. Suggestion:
Use a highly stable signal chain conditioner.;
Carry out on-site temperature calibration;
Perform software compensation for the influence of temperature.
Piezoelectric sensors have a certain sensitivity to mechanical vibrations. The CP216 incorporates an internal insulation structure and vibration suppression measures, but it is still recommended that:
Use the vibration-damping mounting base.
Avoid installation within the range of strong mechanical resonance frequencies.
