Although, for most applications, the choice of sensor measuring principle or functional principle of the pressure sensor is not important, we are still often asked about how the sensor elements integrated in our pressure sensors and pressure transmitters work. First of …

Refrigeration systems with higher energy efficiency through accurate pressure control
Sabine MaiDue to the worldwide rising energy costs, the energy-efficient operation of refrigeration systems becomes a must. According to estimates, more than 90% of the refrigeration systems worldwide are not yet equipped with continuous control. They have been optimized and …
RoHS-compliant does not equal lead-free
Sabine MaiIn practice, RoHS-compliant is often equated with "lead-free". However, this is a widespread mistake. The RoHS directive 2002/95/EC aims to minimize the use of hazardous substances (including, among others, lead), but it does not completely exclude a small percentage. …
Overview: Is IO-Link the new communication standard?
Jürgen ReiserIn connection with the electronic pressure switch PSD-30, I often get asked what is IO-Link and how it is defined. IO-Link is a new communication interface in the area of factory automation/ machine building. Leading providers of automation technology have joined …
The response time behaviour of pressure sensors: How is the response time defined and what is the definition of the rise time?
Enrico BossartThe response time of pressure sensors is reflected in a large number of varying parameters, such as the response time, settling time or rise time in specifications or data sheets. In general, it can be assumed that the response time is defined as the interval required …
