The experimental results of adopting the Chinese rare-earth element Ytterbium as the dynamic pressure transducer are given in this paper. The experiment was done on an electric gun (40kJ) in our laboratory and by using the explosive loading device independently. Initial comparision has been made with those data derived from the manganin piezoresistive and carbon piezoresistive transducers in corresponding devices. The results show that as for the dynamic pressure transducer，Ytterbium has a higher sensitivity than manganin and carbon ones. The pressure range for Ytterbium transducer can be as low as kb.
