The construction of a traditional current loop for the capture of pressure sensor signals has its pitfalls – especially when not only a signal must be transmitted to the PLC, but also a local indicator has to be integrated. Let's have a look at the example of a …
When using pressure sensors, especially in applications with pumps or fast-acting valves, there will often be pressure spikes. A pressure spike or pressure pulse denotes a rapid rise or drop in pressure. If the transition is too fast, this can lead to the …
Pressure sensors are needed in a variety of applications around the production and distribution of drinking water. As soon as a pressure sensor comes into contact with drinking water, one wonders, as a user, whether this is allowed. After all, for food and also …
Our customers like to talk about a maximum operating pressure or working pressure. Unfortunately, these two terms are not defined for pressure sensors, which means that a definitive answer cannot be given. All we can assume is that, by maximum operating pressure or …
The term “dissipation loss” can be found in the data sheet for a pressure sensor or pressure transmitter. One needs this specification in order to be able to protect the pressure sensor from overheating. If a pressure sensor is operated in a hot environment, it …
