Items Controlled
a. Pressure sensing elements made of or protected by aluminum, aluminum alloy, aluminum oxide (alumina or sapphire), nickel, nickel alloy with more than 60% nickel by weight, or fully fluorinated hydrocarbon polymers; b. Seals, if any, essential for sealing the pressure sensing element, and in direct contact with the process medium, made of or protected by aluminum, aluminum alloy, aluminum oxide (alumina or sapphire), nickel, nickel alloy with more than 60% nickel by weight, or fully fluorinated hydrocarbon polymers; and c. Either of the following characteristics: c.1. A full scale of less 13 kPa and an "accuracy" of better than ±1% of full scale;
Related Definitions
(1) For purposes of this entry, "pressure transducers" are devices that convert pressure measurements into a signal. (2) For purposes of this entry, "accuracy" includes non-linearity, hysteresis and repeatability at ambient temperature.
See EAR Part 772 (15 CFR 772) for complete definitions of terms used in the CCL.
