HPB
Honeywell Precision Barometer
HPB
The Honeywell Precision Barometer (HPB) offers outstanding value to instrument builders requiring accurate
and stable barometric measurements in real-world conditions. The HPB uses proven silicon sensor technology
with microprocessor-based signal compensation, eliminating the need to insulate or temperature-regulate the
barometer. The HPB has a pressure range of 500 to 1200 hPa. The HPA, intended for altimeter applications,
provides a pressure range of 0 to 17.6 psia.
