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 …
Advantages of diaphragm pressure gauges (3): Solution for critical media
| Silvia Weber | Know-howDiaphragm pressure gauges are genuine multi-purpose instruments. For example, in processes with critical media, they enable comprehensive possibilities for reliable pressure measurement with long-term stability. Processes with aggressive media require …
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 …
