Overview
The Omega PX459-015V10V-XL is a high-accuracy 0 psi to 15 psi vacuum pressure transducer built on Omega's micro-machined piezoresistive silicon platform, delivering best-in-class accuracy that combines linearity, hysteresis, and repeatability. A custom ASIC applies digital dynamic thermal compensation across the full temperature and pressure range, so the transducer holds its accuracy where lower-grade devices drift. It outputs a 0-10 Vdc signal and ships with a 5-point NIST-traceable calibration certificate.
Best for
- Aerospace, automotive, and test-bench measurement requiring reference-grade accuracy
- Industrial process and equipment OEM applications with wide ambient temperature swings
- 0-10 Vdc input PLCs, data loggers, and panel meters
- Rugged, all-stainless installations in harsh industrial environments
Warranty
Backed by Omega's standard 13-month warranty (1-year coverage plus a one-month shipping grace period) against defects in materials and workmanship. ZOT Supply is an authorized Omega distributor offering fast nationwide and international shipping. Each unit ships with its 5-point NIST-traceable calibration certificate.
Key Features
<0.1% Non-Linearity Class
Specified to a non-linearity accuracy class under 0.1%, delivering high-grade performance across the calibrated span.
Digital Thermal Compensation
A custom ASIC maps temperature, pressure, and output to dynamically compensate across the compensated range, holding span and zero where competitors drift.
5-Point NIST Calibration
Every transducer ships with a 5-point NIST-traceable calibration certificate documenting its as-shipped accuracy.
Ruggedized Silicon Core
Piezoresistive silicon in a glass-to-metal sealed chamber with a 316 SS diaphragm and secondary fluid containment in the event of a diaphragm rupture.
Protected Electronics
Reverse-polarity, EMC, and power-supply fluctuation protection are standard, with high proof-pressure margin on the sensing element.
All-Stainless Construction
316 SS wetted parts and welded stainless construction for wet and harsh industrial environments.

Frequently Asked Questions
What does the accuracy specification include?
It combines linearity, hysteresis, and repeatability into a single best-straight-line figure, so it reflects total measurement error rather than a single contributor.
Does this transducer come calibrated?
Yes. Every unit ships with a 5-point NIST-traceable calibration certificate documenting its as-shipped accuracy.
What is the vacuum pressure reference?
This model measures negative gauge (vacuum) pressure referenced to ambient atmosphere.
Does it need a mating connector?
Yes, this termination uses a separate mating connector (M12C-PVC-4-S-F-5 cordset), ordered separately.
Can it handle wet or harsh environments?
Yes. The housing is rated IP65 and all wetted parts are 316 stainless steel.
