When pressure sensors come into contact with hydrogen, this often results in difficulties. Unfortunately, I very often notice in my job that our customers are not aware of this prior to use. This is why they often do not even tell us that their medium contains …

Integration of pressure sensors into the PLC
| Stefan Heusel | Know-howThe construction of a traditional current loop for the capture of pressure sensor signals has its pitfalls – especially when not only a signal must be transmitted to the PLC, but also a local indicator has to be integrated. Let's have a look at the example of a …
When is a pressure spike too fast?
| Stefan Heusel | Know-howWhen using pressure sensors, especially in applications with pumps or fast-acting valves, there will often be pressure spikes. A pressure spike or pressure pulse denotes a rapid rise or drop in pressure. If the transition is too fast, this can lead to the destruction …
Pressure sensors in drinking water applications – what needs to be considered?
| Stefan Heusel | ApplicationsPressure sensors are needed in a variety of applications around the production and distribution of drinking water. As soon as a pressure sensor comes into contact with drinking water, one wonders, as a user, whether this is allowed. After all, for food and also …
What does maximum operating pressure or working pressure mean with pressure sensors?
| Michèle Beyer | Know-howOur customers like to talk about a maximum operating pressure or working pressure. Unfortunately, these two terms are not defined for pressure sensors, which means that a definitive answer cannot be given. All we can assume is that, by maximum operating pressure or …
