Core offering

Validyne Engineering manufactures pressure sensors, pressure transducers, pressure transmitters, and data acquisition systems based on its proprietary Variable Reluctance (VR) sensor technology. Its products are designed for harsh industrial environments including aerospace testing, oil and gas core analysis, medical respiratory research, and automotive test cells. The company also offers signal conditioning equipment, calibration/utility software, and precision machining services.

Product overview

Validyne Engineering manufactures precision pressure measurement and data acquisition products designed for harsh industrial environments. The product portfolio centers on Variable Reluctance (VR) pressure sensors and transmitters (DP, P series) that form the core sensing technology. These sensors connect to carrier demodulator signal conditioning products (CD series) which convert sensor signals to standard outputs. Data acquisition is handled through USB/PCI-based systems (USB2250, USB2251, UPC2100, VDAS) that interface multiple sensor types to PC software including Easy Sense data logging software. Supporting products include digital pressure indicators (PS series), HVAC pressure transmitters (DP850/851), and calibration/utility software (USB-COM Logger, SI58). The modular architecture allows customers to configure complete measurement systems combining sensors, signal conditioning, and data acquisition components.
