Diaphragm seals, also known as chemical seals or remote seals, are used for pressure measurements when the process medium should not come into contact with the pressurised parts of the measuring instrument. A diaphragm seal has two primary tasks: 1. Separation of …

The challenges of installing pressure sensors on air compressors
Ahmad DesukiPressure measurement is an integral part of the monitoring process that measures how economically an air compressor is running at all times. The rising cost of energy means that each unit within a factory must always be running at optimal performance, and for air …
Use of pressure sensors in medical oxygen applications – What should be considered?
Stefan HeuselIn order to use pressure sensors/pressure transmitters in oxygen applications, the cleanliness of all parts in contact with the medium needs to fulfil certain standards. This is due to the fact that increased pressure or an increased oxygen content in the medium can …
CAN bus problems with pressure sensors avoided: integrated Y-connector for harsh mobile hydraulics applications
Eugen GassmannCAN bus pressure sensors (CANopen ® and J1939) for mobile hydraulics applications now offers an integrated Y-connector - an electrical connection that provides ruggedness and can survive in the hostile environment of trucks, cranes, excavators or agricultural …
Fields of application for pressure sensors 3 – Absolute pressure sensors: why is it necessary to use absolute pressure sensors or pressure transmitters
Stefan HeuselElectronic pressure sensors usually measure the change in pressure through the deformation of a diaphragm. If this diaphragm is exposed to the process pressure on one side and "vented" on the other side (and thus exposed to the ambient pressure), the deformation is …
