TERPS® (Trench Etched Resonant Pressure Sensor) Technology

TERPS® Performance

TERPS® (trench etched resonant pressure sensor) technology is Druck’s market-leading, proprietary pressure sensing technology, that offers unrivalled accuracy, stability and precision specification when utilised in Druck’s pressure sensor, calibrator, controllers, and pitot static testers.

Through rigorous comparative testing spanning nearly a decade, it is proven that TERPS® technology provides customers with unique unrivalled stability (low drift), accuracy, robustness, and speed in combination.

In like-for-like comparisons, Druck’s pressure portfolio enabled with TERPS® performance can achieve more than 10x more accuracy and 10x more stable than traditional silicon-based sensing technologies. Other available pressure measurement technologies such as quartz, film, or optical pressure do not compare to TERPS®.

What is TERPS® technology?

Known to be an innovator and industry leader for over half a century, Druck is known for not compromising the performance of our pressure sensors, calibrators or controllers. This is achieved through a strong focus on quality, design expertise and customer experience.

Not compromising means customers don’t need to make trade-offs when choosing pressure devices. The utilisation of TERPS® technology in Druck’s pressure portfolio means customers across a wide range of applications, including some of the world’s harshest industries, can be sure of the performance of TERPS® technology.

TERPS® Application:

Building on the tried and tested industrial sensing, test and calibration and aerospace pressure portfolio, TERPS® technology enables increased accuracy, longer calibration intervals and long term stability for applications including:

- Aero ground testing

- Hydrology and oceanography

- Level monitoring - tidal, ballast tanks, tsunami detection
