When selecting a level sensor or pressure transmitter, the output of the sensor is always an important criterion. Outputs have more implications than whether or not they match the control system, though that is often the immediate need.
Our design engineers and tech support team has heard and seen just about everything when it comes to level sensors and pressure transducers. Today, we want to cover the top ten things to NOT do with a pressure sensor.
The order of this list was determined based on two factors: frequency of the mistake, and the seriousness of the offense.
As sensor design engineers and manufacturers, liquid level sensors and pressure transducers can be broken down into two types: purpose built and field configurable.
A slight customization we did for a customer quite a while ago has become more popular recently: putting a cable between the actual pressure transducer and the digital display on a digital pressure gauge.
We have some exciting news! We were just nominated for the 2012 Blue Drop Awards, a prestigious website award!
Our category is “Best Business Website”, nominated for our easy navigation scheme and our, as noted by our nominator, “well-kept blog” (we didn’t say it).
Pressure sensors and digital pressure gauges are often subject to large fluctuations in temperature which can lead to decreased accuracy. In applications where maintaining high standards of accuracy is a must, this effect can lead to major issues.
Del Mar Avionics designs and builds precision mating equipment for very large, very sensitive, and very expensive loads.
When selecting a pressure transducer, or a digital pressure gauge, it is important to understand pressure types, a
Pressure sensors and gauges need to be re-calibrated regularly to keep them performing optimally. Depending on the importance of the measurement and the environment where the sensor is operating, a typical re-calibration schedule might be anywhere from once a year to once every three months.
