Measurement technology in compressors
| Roland Sachs | ApplicationsThe measurement technology used in compressors is tending to increase more and more. And for good reason. The balancing act between increased compressed air demands and reduced energy consumption also depends, to a large extent, on the intelligent use of measuring …
DIN 3852-E or DIN EN ISO 1179-2?
| Sabine Mai | Know-howThe DIN 3852-E pressure connection thread standard has been invalid since 2012. The standard that has been valid since then for pipe threads (e.g. for G ¼ A) is DIN EN ISO 1179-2: “Connections for general use and fluid power - Ports and stud ends with ISO 228-1 …
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 …
Pressure sensor with I²C communication – possibilities and boundary conditions
| Christian Wirl | Know-howI²C was designed to communicate over short distances between printed circuit boards and is a simple, 8-bit serial data bus. In the meantime, it is not only PCB-mountable pressure sensors that use the I²C signal for data transfer, but also pressure sensors remote from …
