HE24 Micro-Fused Pressure Sensor

Product Overview

The HE24 Micro-Fused Pressure Sensor represents a breakthrough in monolithic pressure sensing technology. Built from a single piece of 17-4PH precipitation-hardened stainless steel, the HE24 eliminates the traditional weak points found in conventional welded or O-ring sealed designs. The sensing element is permanently bonded to the pressure port using micro-fused glass technology, creating a hermetically sealed, leak-proof assembly that requires no silicone oil fill or elastomeric seals.

This one-piece construction delivers exceptional overload protection at 2× full scale with transient shock tolerance up to 500% of rated pressure (maximum 1600 bar), and a burst pressure rating of 6× full scale up to 2000 bar. Combined with a service life exceeding 10 million pressure cycles, the HE24 is engineered for applications where long-term reliability under harsh conditions is non-negotiable.

The HE24 covers a wide measurement range from 7 bar to 1000 bar with five output signal options including 4–20 mA, 1–5 V, 0–5 V, 0.5–4.5 V, and ratiometric 0.5–4.5 V/5 V. It features a fast ≤2 ms response time, 0.03% FS resolution, and ±0.5% FS typical accuracy. The sensor operates across a media temperature range of -40 to +125°C and carries full CE certification with comprehensive EMC protection, surge protection, reverse polarity protection, and short-circuit output protection.

Designed as a modular platform for OEM integration, the HE24 supports customizable pressure connections, electrical connectors, and cable configurations — making it ideal for volume production across pump systems, hydraulic equipment, compressor controls, agricultural machinery, automotive test stands, and energy infrastructure.

Frequently Asked Questions

Micro-fused glass technology permanently bonds thin-film strain gauges to a stainless steel diaphragm using a high-temperature glass fusion process. Unlike adhesive bonding or welding, this creates a molecular-level bond that is impervious to thermal cycling, vibration, and pressure fatigue. The result is a sensor with exceptional long-term stability (±0.2% FS/year) and a service life exceeding 10 million cycles — significantly outperforming sensors that rely on silicone oil fill or O-ring seals.

Both the HE24 and HE10 target similar industrial applications, but they use different sensing technologies. The HE10 uses oil-filled diffused silicon with higher shock resistance (500 g) and a wider low-end range starting at 20 kPa. The HE24 uses micro-fused glass-on-steel with a monolithic construction that eliminates oil fill, O-rings, and weld seams — making it inherently leak-proof and better suited for applications where media contamination or seal degradation is a concern. The HE24 also offers superior overload protection (2× FS vs standard) and burst ratings up to 6× FS.

The HE24 achieves its leak-proof design through three elements: (1) the pressure body is machined from a single piece of 17-4PH stainless steel with no weld joints, (2) there are no O-rings or elastomeric seals in the pressure path, and (3) the sensing element uses no silicone oil fill. This monolithic construction eliminates the three most common failure modes in conventional pressure sensors — weld fatigue, seal degradation, and oil leakage.

Yes. The HE24 is designed for environments with severe pressure transients. It withstands continuous overload at 2× full scale, can survive transient spikes up to 500% of rated pressure (maximum 1600 bar), and has a burst pressure rating of 6× full scale up to 2000 bar. This makes it well suited for hydraulic systems, compressor discharge lines, and other applications with water hammer or pressure surge events.

Yes. For qualifying order quantities, HMK offers custom configurations including special pressure ranges, custom process connections (F0 option), custom cable lengths, private labeling, and modified temperature compensation ranges. The HE24’s modular design makes it particularly cost-effective for medium to large OEM volumes. Contact our engineering team with your specific requirements for a custom quote.
