The name 'Setra' comes from "Selbsttragend" (self supporting). This refers to the integral nature of the construction of the vehicles back in the 1950s when competitor vehicles still featured a separate chassis and body (often manufactured by separate companies). It is also possible that, with an eye to export markets, the company was mindful that for non-German speakers, the name 'Kässbohrer' is difficult to pronounce.


Setra also produced pneumatic rifles between 1960 and 1980.


The first Setra bus, the Type S 8, was introduced in April 1951 at the German Internationale Automobil-Ausstellung. It featured a self-supporting body designed by Otto Kässbohrer, a concept now featured in most modern buses. The International Motor Show or Internationale Automobil-Ausstellung (IAA) is the worlds largest motor show. ...

It is assumed that the EXTERNAL calibration is conducted regularly to ensure that the Setra transducers and the pressure regulator are accurately calibrated relative to an external referee transducer.
The Setra 270 transducer is the primary source of pressure measurements used both in the estimation of the upstream volume and the flowrate determinations for all filter tests.
The Setra 206 is not used at all during the flowrate determination sequence, either for the diffusion or bubblepoint tests, performed by the Exacta.
Kennedy Space Center Technology Commercialization Office (1017 words)
For qualification testing of the Setra, though, a portable, lower cost calibrator was needed that could control the differential pressure to a high degree of resolution and transfer the accuracy of the Standards Laboratory into the qualification testing.
Setra was seeking a pressure generation method that would isolate the differential pressure sensors from environmental noise during the calibration procedure, a problem that was discovered working with pharmaceutical manufacturers attempting to certify critical air handling processes.
Setra, of Boxborough, Massachusetts, then contacted Kennedy’s Technology Transfer Office to obtain rights to the patent, and the NASA office facilitated the paperwork and provided them exclusive rights to the technology.
