Ex protection – The most common ignition protection types for sensors in gas hazardous areas
Jens Bargon | Know-howThe use of sensors in hazardous areas can be realised through different, defined design concepts, referred to as ignition protection types. In the following, the most common of these ignition protection types for sensors for gas hazardous areas will be briefly …
Ice cold – Electrical thermometers in low ambient temperatures
Joachim Brückner | Know-howMedium temperatures of -60 °C don't even make the designers of electrical thermometers shrug their shoulders – but when one speaks of ambient temperatures of -60 °C, then one often hears a sharp intake of (cold) breath. It quickly becomes clear that one cannot …
Pressure switches with IP65 and IP67 ingress protection
Jens Bargon | Pressure, ProductsAn important specification for industrial measuring instruments in general, and pressure sensors in particular, is the ingress protection. In this context, an assumed typographical error in our data sheets for the PSD-4, PSD-30, PSD-31 and PSA-31 electronic pressure …
Hygienic M12 coupler connector for thermometer connection head
Jochen Gries | TemperatureThe use of an M12 coupler connector at the connection head of a thermometer, rather than a standard cable outlet, enables quick and safe connection. In the hygienic, food and pharmaceutical industries such a design is also being demanded ever more frequently. …
