Customers often ask us: “Can my product be part of a safety function? Which standards or directives apply in this case?” The most important safety directives and standards available today are SIL (Safety Integrity Level) and PL (Performance Level). These …
In previous articles about the fields of application of different pressure sensors, I have described the special features of the different versions. Pressure range and ambient conditions are decisive when selecting a suitable sensor for a problem to be solved. In …
Pressure sensors and electronic devices may only be used in hazardous areas if they have been tested and approved by a recognised authority in terms of their explosion protection features. So far, this was mostly carried out by a national institution which, after …
Generally, all pressure sensors which are distributed in the EU market have to comply with the requirements of the “ pressure equipment directive ” as well as the EMC directive 2004/108/EC. Depending on the application or location of operation, a variety of …
The term adiabatic compression refers to an abrupt temperature increase as a consequence of a pressure surge. Such temperature increases occur in gaseous media, when the thermal energy which is released due to a change in pressure cannot be passed on to the environment …
