In many pressure sensor applications, short-duration, high, impact loading occurs - this is referred to as shock. Shock resistance defines up to what level of acceleration the instrument can withstand the shock loading without being damaged in any way. The loading …
Vibration/shock
Which vibrations are pressure transmitters subjected to in the laboratory?
| Matthias Stratmann | Know-howBasically, there are three common vibration tests with which the leading manufacturers test their instruments; with fixed and sweeping frequency (IEC 60068-2-6) and a broadband random pattern (IEC 60068-6-64). In the first test, the pressure transmitter is subjected to …
Vibration resistance of pressure sensors
| Matthias Stratmann | Know-howMeasuring instruments resp. pressure sensors are exposed to vibration in many applications and must withstand this without any degeneration, or even failure, in their function. Manufacturers of pressure sensors (also called pressure transmitters) therefore put a great …
Vibration and shock loading on pressure transmitters
| Matthias Stratmann | Know-howPressure transmitters are subjected to vibration and mechanical shocks in many applications and also during transport. Below, the terms shock and vibration will be explained in greater detail. Particularly strong vibrations can act on pressure transmitters, for …
