Manufacturers



Pressure transducers, pressure transmitters and accelerometers, designed and manufactured by Setra Systems, are known worldwide for their simplicity of design, high accuracy, and exceptional long term stability. Setra's patented capacitive design, coupled with Setra's proprietary circuitry, produces a strong signal that virtually assures customers of an accurate output, even through many years of pressure cycling.

The dependability of Setra's designs has led to the development of pressure transducers and transmitters that fit the unique requirements of new and challenging custom applications. These applications have broadened Setra's presence in the market to include not only industrial, OEM, barometric, HVAC/R (Heating, Ventilating, Air-Conditioning and Refrigeration), environmental, test and measurement, food and pharmaceutical, but the agricultural, medical, and semi-conductor industries as well.

Meeting the individual requirements of these industries includes the special attention given by Setra to the initial engineering designs and manufacturing of quality products at an affordable price. Also, a fully trained staff of application engineers, customer service representatives, and a worldwide network of sales-engineering offices are available to assist Setra's customers with product selection and application support.
