- Sensata’s new Digital Water Pressure Sensor allows for remote
pressure monitoring by utilities to identify distribution issues,
leaks, and other non-revenue water events.
- Unique package designed to manage pressure throughout life of
the meter.
- Helps utilities better address challenges in sustainable water
system management.
- Sensor has low power consumption combined with a robust design
to withstand harsh conditions.
Sensata Technologies (NYSE: ST), today announced the launch of
the 129CP Series Digital Water Pressure Sensor, which will help
deliver enhanced smart pressure monitoring capabilities to water
utilities and drive waste reduction.

Sensata’s 129CP Series Digital Water
Pressure Sensor is designed to integrate directly into a water
meter’s PCB and provide reliable pressure monitoring.
Water utilities manage extensive infrastructure to pump and
deliver water to commercial and residential buildings. However, a
significant portion is classified as non-revenue water, meaning
water is lost due to leaks within the network, metering
inaccuracies, unauthorized consumption, or other issues. The
International Water Association found that 30 percent of water
produced worldwide is wasted.
Sensata’s new sensor design will improve efficiency and
reliability in water metering; combining precision pressure
monitoring with digital communication to enable water meters to
deliver granular insights in water usage.
The compact sensor can monitor pressure ranges from 0-232 psi,
and is engineered with the rugged construction needed to survive 10
to 15 years in a challenging high-moisture, high-shock environment.
It was also designed to integrate directly into a meter’s printed
circuit board (PCB), and deliver a digital I2C output - requiring
extremely low power consumption to help optimize battery life.
Utilities monitoring pressure outputs from the sensor can use
the network of pressure sensing data to quickly identify leaks and
other issues to minimize both real losses and non-revenue water
cost impacts.
“Sensata’s new Digital Water Pressure Sensor is a robust,
reliable solution which delivers the in-meter pressure sensing our
customers need to deliver the next generation of smart, connected
water meters,” says Alice Martins, Vice President for Sensata’s
Industrial Solutions. “This transition will help utilities better
manage their critical infrastructure and address water inequality
worldwide.”
