Pressure Sensor Industry |
|
 PPTs are used in aircraft, laboratories, engine test stands, medical equipment, environmental chambers, and other applications. The benefits PPTs offer for three of these market areas are described here |
Avionics
Application: Air data instruments, aircraft engines, airframe monitors |
 | | Accurate pressure transducers are used to determine altitude and airspeed on manned and unmanned airplanes, drones, missiles and helicopters. | | | Pressure transducers are also used for aircraft engine controls, and a new class of instrument designed to monitor wear-and-tear on aircraft to optimize maintenance points |
Features:
| | 0.05% accuracy over temperature coupled with attractive price | | | Outputs directly in inches of Hg | | | RS485/RS232 networkable |
Benefits:
| | Accuracy required to precisely determine altitude and airspeed is very affordable with PPT | | | Saves downstream computer conversion to standard pressure unit | | | Easy to couple two transducers in one avionics box |
Industrial
Application: Process control, machine control
| | Measures pressure to compute level and flow in pipelines, tanks with fluids, gases. | | | Measures hydraulic or pneumatic pressures on manufacturing machines to control movement and position of product. |
Features:
| | 0.01% accuracy over temperature | | | Configurable | | | RS485/RS232 networkable |
Benefits:
| | Saves money by allowing more precise control | | | Adjust rate at which data is sampled | | | Monitor multiple process points with single computer |
Lab/Test Instrumentation
Application:
High accuracy measurements
| | Measures pressures on test vehicles, engines, holding tanks, environmental chambers. | | | Calibration standard; used in a lab or in a portable system as a secondary standard to calibrate other pressure transducers. |
Features:
| | 0.05/01% accuracy over temperature | | | RS485/RS232 networkable | | | Stable | | | Analog and digital output Easy to drive meters and digital displays |
Benefits:
| | Suitable for calibration applications | | | Monitor multiple process points with single computer | | | Saves money by reducing calibration of PPT by primary standards | | | Communicates directly to PC Easy to calibrate |
