How does lightning protection in hydrostatic level sensors work
Enrico Bossart | Know-howMany customer wonder why hydrostatic level sensors fail due to lightning strikes, even if they ordered a level sensor with integrated lightning protection. Understanding how the lightning protection works and how lightning strikes affect hydrostatic level sensors is …
How to prevent the ingress of moisture through the cable of submersible pressure transmitters and level probes?
Enrico Bossart | Know-howIf you want to measure the level of a liquid easily and reliably, most people will do this using hydrostatic pressure measurement, e.g. with a submersible pressure transmitter or a so called level probe. The characteristic submersed application implicates a maximum …
When to use electronic pressure switches and pressure sensors
Enrico Bossart | Know-howFor a very long time, mechanical pressure switches were state-of-the-art for control in manufacturing processes. Modern pressure sensors seem to be the answer to the demand for data collection and control, by providing continuous data output about the process pressure. …
Accuracy vs. switch point accuracy of electronic pressure switches
Enrico Bossart | Know-howMany users face difficulties in selecting an electronic pressure switch suitable for their application, due to the differentiation of accuracy and switch point accuracy in many official data sheets. Nevertheless, there is a significant difference between the switch …
