Applications

The Taber Model 206 is a precision strain gauge pressure transducer designed for static and dynamic pressure measurement in high-integrity aerospace, defense, and industrial test environments. Taber Industries built instruments of this type for use in rocket propulsion test cells, hydraulic system monitoring, and chamber pressure measurement on large-scale rocket motors — including Space Shuttle Solid Rocket Booster (SRB) test programs. The 350-ohm Wheatstone bridge output is compatible with standard strain gauge signal conditioners and data acquisition systems, making these transducers usable with a wide range of instrumentation amplifiers and DAQ hardware. The MIL-spec connector ensures reliable, vibration-resistant signal connections under the mechanical and thermal stresses of test stand environments. Taber pressure transducers from this era (1970s–1980s) are recognized for their robust all-metal construction and continue to be used in legacy aerospace test facilities, research labs, and high-pressure hydraulic test rigs where their proven mechanical integrity remains valuable.
