Choosing the Optimal Pressure Range for Pressure Sensors
Robert Lukat | Know-how, PressureWhen choosing a pressure sensor, one of the many factors to consider is its measuring range. Having the optimal range avoids the risk of overpressure without a loss of accuracy or resolution. Pressure sensors play a key role in the safety and efficiency of …
Wetted Parts of pressure sensors – definition and overview
Robert Lukat | PressureThe term “wetted parts” is used in connection with pressure sensors for all those parts, surfaces and/or components that are (potentially) exposed to or in direct contact with the medium under pressure. In case of a typical pressure sensor this is mainly limited to …
Learning About the Effect of Temperature on Pressure Sensors
Robert Lukat | PressureTemperature has a major impact on the function and operating lifetime of most electronic devices. This is especially true for electronic pressure sensors. That's why pressure sensor specifications typically include minimum and maximum values for operating, storage, …
Chemical Compatibility: Wetted Parts of Pressure Sensors
Robert Lukat | PressureAvoiding problems like corrosion or premature failure makes the use of pressure sensors safe and maximizes the lifespan of the product. One of the keys to doing that is to ensure that a pressure sensor's wetted parts – those which come in direct contact with …
