The 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 …
Pressure sensor
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 …
Anchor force measurement – a discipline that requires experience
| Matthias Winkel | Applications, Force, Know-howSomewhat less illuminated than the conventional application areas of force measurement, but no less important, is force measurement in the field of geotechnology. Here it depends, to a high degree, on know-how and experience. The term geotechnology combines …
Integration of a pressure sensor element – error compensation of signal for zero point and span
| Christian Wirl | Know-howThe installation of a sensor element or a corresponding assembly has the advantage that very compact dimensions are possible. However, some points need to be taken into account, which are an additional effort for the customer compared to using a fully adjusted sensor …
