Druck was established in 1972 and became a leading manufacturer of high performance pressure transducers, calibrators and controllers using the company’s proven silicon strain gauge technology. It has developed an extensive product range of rugged, high performance products for use in such industries as water, oil and gas, pharmaceutical, petrochemical and aerospace, both military and civilian.

Pressure Is No Problem
At present, there’s a wide range of Druck pressure transducer lines and transmitters, ranging from the relatively low cost Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM) devices to very high-accuracy resonant silicon barometric sensors. OEM refers to companies that make products for other companies to repackage and sell.

Depending on the kind of device available, Druck pressure transducers can measure pressures from less than 0.015 psi to 15,000 psi in some of the most demanding environments. As a comparison, the standard atmospheric pressure on the earth’s surface at sea level is only 14.7 psi.

A Reputation
The company also manufactures calibration units for pressure, temperature and electricity. Its pressure calibrators and indicators are used worldwide for testing pressure-based instrumentation in laboratories, and include hand-held barometers and automatic pitot-static Air Data Test systems.

The company has made its reputation for making reliable precision pressure sensors as well as the related test and calibration units for these. As a result, Druck pressure transducer and related products are specified by a varied body of organizations which include national and international military forces, civil airlines, and ground service organizations worldwide.

Druck subsidiaries in the Americas, Europe, South Asia and the Far East support the maintenance and sale of all Druck pressure transducer products. In keeping with the nature of OEM, Druck transducers are also sold through such companies as GE Sensing and Inspection Technologies, Biolab—Industrial Technologies of Australia, and Thermx, which includes the websites of these companies as well.

The Heart of the Matter
The essential part of each Druck pressure transducer is a piezo-resistive silicon element which is mounted within a metallic pressure module. The module and all its elements are made from Druck’s own silicon processing facility, thus ensuring the high performance that Druck pressure transducer products are known for.
