Pressure transmitters and pressure sensors made of
corrosion-proof titanium |
| |
 Keller
AG: In 1795, German chemist Heinrich Klaproth
was so impressed by the properties of a newly discovered
element that he named it titanium, after the Titans (a
Greek race of deities). The best-known Titan is Atlas,
who was sentenced by Zeus to carry the world on his
shoulders. For some time now, Keller AG für
Druckmesstechnik has offered titanium versions of its
products for use in heavily corrosive media. This metal
has a host of advantages for applications under very
special conditions. Titanium is used as a replacement
for steel in the aerospace industry, mainly for reasons
of weight. In the medical devices sector, the fact that
titanium is chemically and biologically neutral is
especially important. This property is due to a
permanent layer of oxide on the surface of the material.
Thanks to its presence, components made of titanium will
not corrode even in salt water or chlorinated water,
unlike the high-grade steels that are normally used in
the sector. This is why titanium is more frequently
chosen for process measurement technology applications
involving wastewater that may be contaminated with
unknown corrosive substances. A titanium housing makes
it possible to carry out
hydrostatic level measurements effectively in
brackish water, or even in iron chloride. ... |

Epson Toyocom Develops New Absolute Pressure Sensor |
| |
 Epson
Toyocom Corporation, the leader in crystal
devices, announced it has developed an extremely small
absolute pressure sensor that provides excellent
accuracy and resolution. Epson Toyocom develops and
sells high-performance quartz pressure sensors for a
variety of applications. The company’s sensors are used
in, for example, manufacturing equipment where highly
accurate pressure measurements are needed, and in
measuring instruments that calculate the water level of
rivers or the water level behind dams based on water
pressure. Epson Toyocom has steadily miniaturized its
quartz pressure sensors to the point where they are
compact enough for use in mobile devices – and has done
so without sacrificing accuracy or resolution. The
XP-6000CA employs an innovative new QMEMS(*1)
pressure-sensing structure that allows the sensor to
squeeze into a tiny 7.0 × 5.0 × 2.0t mm package yet
still provides excellent total pressure accuracy (30
Pa) and high resolution (0.3 Pa). In addition to
offering high accuracy and high resolution, the
XP-6000CA sensor provides stable output even under
varying external temperatures and environmental
conditions because the sensor element is made of highly
stable quartz crystal. The new sensor’s pressure
measurements are resistant to the effects of noise
because it uses frequency counting, a principle based on
crystal measurement technology, to measure pressure.... |

| Easily integrated pressure
transmitters for OEMs with digital and ratiometric interfaces |
| |
 Keller
AG: Thanks to the Chip-in-Oil (CiO) technology
developed at Keller, the trend toward miniaturization is
now becoming a reality. In our Series 4 LC...9 LC
pressure transmitters, the special ASIC for signal
processing is fitted directly next to the
pressure sensor, in the same housing, under oil, and
with the exclusion of air. This yields a host of
advantages in terms of application: all the key pressure
measurement components are now protected against the
risks from humidity and condensation. The interior
wiring is implemented with short, lightweight bonding
wires, while sintered-in pressure-resistant glass
leadthroughs feed the transmitter signals out. Together
with the high-grade steel housing, they form a Faraday
cage around the measuring system, acting as feedthrough
capacitors. This makes the CiO technology absolutely RFI
resistant up to field strengths of 250 V/m and for
frequencies of up to 4 GHz. Series 4 LC...9 LC pressure
transmitters offer two output signals: a ratiometric
analog voltage output and a digital inter-integrated
circuit interface (I2C). The ratiometric signal
eliminates the need for an expensive voltage reference
in the support electronics to the A/D converter, with no
additional effort and expense for compensation and
calibration. For a voltage supply of 5,0 V, the output
signal is specified as 0,5 ... 4,5 V. The transmitters
provide constant protection against overvoltage and
polarity reversal on all lines up to ±33 VDC. ... |

| LBA Low Pressure Sensors Offer Special
Versions With Highest Resolution for Respiration Applications |
| |
 Sensortechnics’
LBA series offers
differential low pressure sensors based on thermal
mass flow measurement of air through a micro-flow
channel integrated within the silicon sensor chip. The
sensors are ideal for differential pressure flow
measurement where the pressure drop across a flow
element is a
measure of the volumetric flow rate. For high
performance medical respiratory devices it is essential
to detect very small flows around the zero flow point
while additionally being able to measure full scale
flows of several hundreds of l/min. For these demanding
requirements Sensortechnics now offers special versions
of its LBA sensors with increased resolution of 0.01 %
in the lower pressure range and at the same time high
dynamic ranges greater than 10,000. The LBA sensors
feature an innovative MEMS construction which integrates
the micro-flow channel and fully analog CMOS signal
conditioning within the silicon sensor chip. This
decreases the flow through the LBA sensor by several
magnitudes compared to other flow-based pressure sensors
and allows high immunity to condensation and dust
contamination. Further, the LBA differential pressure
sensors can be used with long connecting tubes and input
filters without the need to recalibrate or correct the
output signal. Because the flow impedance is predefined
at the sensor chip level the LBA series ... |

 Sensirion
recently launched new differential
pressure sensors in the SDP600 series.
The new SDP6x6 sensor line features
especially low energy consumption,
making it suitable for long-term battery
operation. The SDP606 and SDP616 sensors
are designed to enter sleep mode after
performing each measurement. They wake
up when a “measure” command is received
and enter sleep mode again after
completing the measurement. The
operation currents of a standard SDP600
sensor can be high as 6 mA, but the new
SDP6x6 sensor is optimized for operating
currents no greater than 400 μA. There
is virtually no current drain (<1 μA) in
sleep mode. This drastic reduction in
power consumption allows the new sensors
to be used in battery powered
applications. The new differential
pressure sensors are excellent solutions
for medical and HVAC applications, where
high accuracy and reliability with very
low energy consumption are required. The
new sensors extend the comprehensive
product range of Sensirion’s digital
differential pressure sensors in the
SDP600 series. Along with the other

With
the double adaptor ARID, Baumer enables
the combination of their MEX5 safety pressure gauge and
their PBSN
pressure transmitter. Both instruments are designed
for harsh industrial environments with high media
temperatures where precision and failure-safety are
particularly important. Therefore, the PBSN delivers
high-accuracy process data as 4…20 mA output signals
while the MEX5 gauge indicates the local pressure. As
the MEX5 works on a mechanical basis with no need for
electricity, it provides a fall-back option, ensuring
that the process can still be controlled in case of a
power cut. The resulting increase in process safety is
particularly valuable in the harsh and potentially
hazardous environments encountered in fields such as
energy production, the petrochemical industries, and
biotechnology. The adaptor has one G½ or ½NPT2
connection on the process side and two G½ connections on
the side of the measuring devices. It is made of
stainless steel 316L and can operate at temperatures of
-25…100 °C while being able to withstand pressures of up
to 400 bar. The PBSN pressure transmitter delivers a

A family of electronic switches for pressure, temperature and level |
| |
|
WIKA
is presenting an innovative product family of electronic
switches for fluid technology in machine building for the first
time at the Hannover Messe. The new industrial instruments
measure and control pressure, temperature and level with an
identical "look and feel". The switches have high functionality
and are also very user-friendly. The three-key operation with
tactile feedback and a clear menu structure ensure that
commissioning is smooth and trouble-free. Set parameters can
also be checked quickly. The parameters and values are displayed
on a 14-segment LED display with nine-millimetre high
characters. In particular, readability of characters has been
improved considerably to be more intuitive to work with. The
display and housing rotates independently, making the parameters
and values easy to read, even under difficult conditions.

New measuring option displays overpressure with 100% certainty |
| |
|
For
two pressure gauge series, WIKA
has now developed a novel overload indicator.
With it, unexpected overpressures in industrial
processes can be documented beyond any doubt.
The advantage over a pressure gauge with a drag
pointer lies in the guaranteed security of the
indication. The status of drag pointers can
alter due to external influences such as
vibration, and thus the explicit confirmation of
overpressure cannot be ensured. In addition the
new overload indicator is protected against any
manipulation after the fact. The core of the new
instrument option is a spring pin. This is
fitted at the dial's scale value which the
customer has defined as the highest pressure.
The indicator, an aluminium pin, is carried by
the instrument pointer, and if the designated
maximum pressure is exceeded, it is locked
permanently in the red zone. WIKA supplies the
overload indicators for model 23x.50 and 212.20
bourdon tube pressure gauges in ... |

pressure-compensating capillary or a separate
absolute pressure sensor; additional options
include integrated temperature measurement, etc.
Depending on the sounding tube, probe diameters
of 16 mm and 18 mm up to 22 mm are available.
Thanks to its diameter of only 16 mm, the DCX-16

Differential pressure measurement with
even better zero-point accuracy |
| |
|
The
first dynamic digital differential pressure sensor from Sensirion,
the SDP600 series, was awaited with great anticipation. This was hardly
surprising, since the advance specifications of the small, fully
calibrated sensor included outstanding long-term stability and a short
response time along with high accuracy and sensitivity, even with very
small differential pressures (less than 10 Pa). Accumulated practical
experience with the sensor and test results now show that the
performance exceeds the high standard of the advance specifications. In
particular, the range of zero-point variation is three times less than
expected. The maximum deviation from the zero point was originally
specified as 0.5 Pa, but now it has been restated as 0.2 Pa. The SPD600
series also solidly fulfils its expectations with regard to reliability
and other specifications. With this, the new sensor achieves ... |

can only be kept within extremely tight tolerances if this pressure can
be accurately and repeatably measured and recorded over an extended
period of time. The new melt pressure sensor Type 4021A... from Kistler
is a groundbreaking new development based on the piezoresistive
principle of measurement. It measures the important machine parameter
directly in the area in front of the screw with reproducibility errors
of <0,1 %, a linearity error of <0,5 % and a zero point change of <0,5
%. The sensor with a flat seal is supplied as a complete measuring chain

Quality improvement of monolithic and flush mounted piezo resistive
ceramic pressure sensors through increased long term stability and
moisture resistance |

AG: Through innovative measures, long term stability and moisture
resistance of pressure sensors can be increased. The new improved
generation of pressure sensors benefits on the one side from results of

the laser trimming process. Metallux AG, a leading manufacturer of piezo
resistive pressure sensors was thus able to improve the quality of their
pressure sensors considerably. Current situation: Conventional
manufacturing process of piezo resistive ceramic pressure sensors.
Piezoresistive pressure sensors are manufactured through a screen print
process. A Wheatstone bridge is printed onto a thin membrane and burned

With
the series ZPN, ZDPN and ZT, Baumer offers very robust
temperature and pressure
switches developed especially for the use in nuclear
power stations. The pressure switches are suitable for pneumatic or
hydraulic control, for power generation safety equipments and for
pressurized chambers control. They are resistant to short duration
overpressure and show a good vibration resistance. The ZPN can measure a
gauge pressure from -1 bar up to 600 bar with a very small intermediate
range from -2 mbar up to 10 mbar. The ZDPN measures a differential
pressure from 2 mbar up to 120 bar. The pressure switches maintain a
constant pressure around a chosen set value. When the pressure reaches a
critical pre-set value, they trigger an alarm or safety system. A
flexible diaphragm actuates a micro-switch via a piston. The set point
adjustment is realised via a compressible spring mounted on the
opposite. Due to the force-balance principle, the dead band setting
remains constant, even with different set point adjustments. With rapid
pressure variations, an attenuator should be used to prevent a temporary
on- and off-switching. The ZT temperature switches are suitable for ... |

measuring ranges between 2 bar and 1000 bar, the Series 21 Y
transmitters can be used at temperatures ranging from -20 °C to +100 °C
in any industrial application, even in the immediate proximity of
frequency converters. Particular attention has been paid to providing
low-cost calibration that guarantees a maximum Total Error Band of ±1.5
%FS over the entire standard temperature range of -10 °C to +80 °C.

correction schemes, is replaced by a much simpler, costeffective method.
The temperature range is divided into as many as 120 subdivisions, of
1.5 Kelvin each, by an integrated temperature sensor and an additional
digital circuit. The compensation values for TK zero point and TK
amplification for each of these subdivisions are calculated individually
in accordance with a mathematical model and stored in the transmitter.

Kavlico Air & Fuel Filter Restriction
Pressure Sensors Help Heavy Duty Truck & Bus Engines Run More
Efficiently |
| |
|
Kavlico,
a global business unit of Custom Sensors & Technologies (CST) has
released two pressure sensors for the heavy-duty truck and bus market
sector which assist in optimizing engine performance. Kavlico’s air
filter and oil filter restriction pressure sensors assist systems that
monitor filter life and performance. Good filter condition is important
for engines to run cleanly and efficiently. Precisely measuring and
mixing the correct amounts of air and fuel is a critical element in
modern internal combustion engines. When an air filter or fuel filter
becomes clogged the ratio of air-to-fuel can be compromised. When an air
filter becomes obstructed an engine can receive too much fuel in
proportion to air, causing the engine to run “rich”. Running rich
decreases efficiency and can release unburned hydrocarbons into the
exhaust stream as a result of incomplete combustion. The opposite is
true when a fuel filter becomes clogged. In this situation an engine can
be forced to run on too “lean” a mixture. This can decrease power and
potentially cause engine damage. To avoid these conditions, Kavlico air
and fuel filter sensors can be used to help monitor filter life and
performance. This can help engines complete the combustion process more
efficiently and cleanly. Fuel filter restriction sensors often measure
in the -10 to 0 psig range while air filter restriction sensors can
monitor even smaller pressure deltas such as -1.5 to 0 psig. ... |

Kavlico,
a global business unit of Custom Sensors & Technologies (CST) has
developed a new version of the PT250 pressure transmitter designed
specifically for installation in heat pump systems. Incorporating a
piezo-resistive sense element, these extremely rugged, all-welded, 304L
stainless steel constructed devices have an integral pipe pressure
connection that is welded at the pressure source. According to EU
842/2006, heat pump applications using fluorinated greenhouse gases must
be checked for leakage at least once every 12 months or every 6 months
depending upon the gas quantity they contain. However, the directive
shall not apply to equipment with hermetically sealed systems. The PT250
from Kavlico does not utilize a gasket thereby complying with the EU

When using pressure transmitters for precision measurements, users often
had to compromise depending on the priority of the requirements. The new
P-30 from WIKA now combines the three most important
characteristics of its instrument category: This product, which has been
presented for the first time at the INTERKAMA+ 2009 fair, is highly
precise, very fast and at the same time very compact. For the
development of this new pressure transmitter, WIKA looked at the
requirements of engine test bench technology in the automotive sector.
In these test benches, a quick data acquisition and analysis plays a
more and more important role in the tests for optimising the power
trains. The used measuring instruments must therefore fulfil high
demands with regard to accuracy and measuring rate. The P-30 transmitter
is characterised by a high precision with active temperature
compensation. Its fast measuring rate - up to 1 ms - allows a data
acquisition of up to 1 kHz. The new pressure transmitter works with an
accuracy of up to 0.1 % without additional temperature error in a range
of 0 ... 50 ºC. Excellent values with regard to the non-linearity of the
characteristic curve and its long-term stability can be added. WIKA has

Kavlico Designs Differential Pressure
Sensors for Turbine Inlet Filter Pressure Health Monitoring |
| |
|
Kavlico,
a global business unit of Custom Sensors & Technologies (CST) has
recently introduced a rugged aerospace grade differential pressure (DP)
sensor for monitoring pressure drop across a turbine engine style inlet
air filter or also known as an inlet barrier filter. The DP sensor
monitors filter health by detecting increases in pressure across the
filter element. The pressure difference increases in proportion with the
amount of filtrate captured by the filter. The DP sensor provides a
continuous measure of filter health, with a predetermined pressure
difference used to indicate critical air flow restriction by the filter.
In applications of turbine engines where the sensor indicates the air
flow has been critically restricted by a clogged filter, an inlet bypass
can be opened to maintain flow to the engine until filter maintenance
can be performed. The DP sensor incorporates a piezo-resistive sense
element and is available in pressure ranges of 0-1, ±1, ±5, and ±10 PSID,
with other option available. Other significant features include and
operating temperature range of -40 to +125ºC with a storage temperature
of -55 to +150ºC, an accuracy of ±1.5% of full scale over the operating
temperature, and an operating voltage of 5 to 15 Vdc. The lightweight
device (<6.5 ounces) is rugged by design and has a housing constructed

the process. Thus the new Model PG43SA pressure gauge increases process
safety. In addition to this, its flush diaphragm construction exhibits
very good rinsing behaviour, with no deposits left on the 316L stainless
steel process connection. The entire measuring instrument can be steam-sterilised
(autoclaved) at 134°C. The compact design of the new pressure gauge,
available in nominal sizes of 40 and 63, enables space-saving
installation due to its Tri-Clamp process connection. The instrument is
suitable for gaseous, liquid and viscous ... |

Process Chemical Seals for High
Temperatures |
| |
|
The
process chemical seals D900 series offered by Baumer (product
segment Process Instrumentation) are suitable for high temperature
applications up to 400°C. They have been developed especially for the
chemical and petrochemical industry in order to protect pressure
transmitters against aggressive media. The devices are available with
various types of ISO- and ANSI-compliant flanges. Chemical seals are
used for pressure, level or flow measuring in order to protect the
measuring devices against high temperatures and aggressive or dangerous
media. They separate the medium from the measuring device and transfer
the process pressure via a diaphragm and a filling liquid to the
measuring device. The D900 series of process chemical seals are suitable
for measuring the absolute, gauge or differential pressure on viscous or
corrosive media at process temperatures ranges between -40°C and +400°C.The
devices are designed for a pressure range from 10 mbar (gauge and
differential pressure) respectively 50 mbar (absolute pressure) to a
maximum of 100 bar. ... |

WIKA diaphragm in-line seal with
integrated temperature measurement |
| |
|
WIKA
has enabled the clean, hygienic, dead-space free measurement of pressure
and temperature, with long-term stability, with the model 983.xx
diaphragm in-line seal. With its 3A approval it is equally suited to
applications in the food and beverage industry as it is for biochemical,
pharmaceutical or active ingredient manufacturing. Through the
combination of diaphragm in-line seal and resistance thermometer,
pressure and temperature can be measured at one common point in the
pipeline without any restriction in its diameter. WIKA diaphragm in-line
seals are directly integrated into the pipeline and, as a result of
their circular cylindrical design, they are self-draining in all
mounting positions. In conjunction with the pressure gauge they ensure
both dead-space free as well as crevice-free pressure measurement. The
temperature sensor is fixed to the inner wall of the diaphragm in-line
seal, whereby fast, residue-free cleaning of the measuring point is
guaranteed. By combining measurement parameters ... |

JUMO dTRANS p20, process pressure
transmitter - easy operation, stainless steel housing |
| |
|
The
new JUMO dTRANS p20 transmitter series expands JUMO’s
top-of-the-range pressure measuring instruments. The best pressure
sensors have been combined with ease of operation in a new stainless
steel housing. The new stainless steel housing makes the transmitters
ideal for all areas of application where they need to be easy to clean,
as well as having optimum corrosion resistance. The food and
pharmaceutical industries are two of the important sectors here. But
there are also many harsh industrial environments, in chemical and
offshore applications, where a lightweight, corrosion-resistant
stainless steel housing has advantages over a conventional, painted
aluminum housing. The new variant, with a short housing, has a key
feature. Electrical connection is via an M12 connector, instead of the
conventional cable gland. This has created a particularly compact device
which can also be used, for example, when circumstances ... |
