ICP® Free-Field Blast Pressure Sensors

The Pencil Probe is designed to measure shock waves caused from explosions in air. Such explosions are found in the defense and mining industries and wherever explosives research is conducted.

Series 137B pencil probes incorporate acceleration-compensated quartz sensing elements and integral ICP® microelectronics that assist driving the blast signal over long cables, with improved stability and durability.

Series 137B quartz, free-field, ICP® blast pressure pencil probes are offered with both 10-32 coaxial jack and BNC electrical connectors. The pencil probes feature an extremely fast microsecond response time, with resonant frequency above 400kHz. The series also includes dual channel probes that allow an easy way to capture shock speed close to the explosion.
