SOS Technology For DPs
Silicon-on-Sapphire sensor technology has redefined the performance capability of our differential transmitters. S.O.S. was initially utilised in the advancement of high temperature integrated circuits for the NASA space programme. ESI has taken this technology and developed a sensor that is capable of accurately measuring vibration, torque, force or pressure in extreme temperatures over long periods of time. The outstanding elastic properties of the sapphire substrate provide the perfect platform on which to create a sensor with no measurable hysteresis and superb repeatability. The...
Read MoreWhat is The Difference Between a Pressure Transducer and Transmitter?
Let us briefly explain to you what the difference is between a pressure transducer and transmitter. Both transducers and transmitters convert energy from one form to another and give an output signal. The signal is directed to any device that interprets it and uses it to display record or alter the pressure in a system. So how do you decide whether it is best to use a transducer or transmitter for you application? Transducers and transmitters are virtually the same thing, the main difference being the kind of electrical signal each sends. A transducer sends a signal in volts (V) or millivolt...
Read MoreSilicon on Sapphire Pressure Sensing Technology
ESI has now integrated its proven Silicon-on-Sapphire pressure sensing technology into a range of intrinsically safe transmitters. Explosive atmospheres can be caused by flammable gases, mists, vapours or combustible dusts. If there is enough of the substance mixed with the air, one source of ignition can cause an explosion, leading to major damage, serious injury and even loss of life. Using the correct intrinsically safe equipment is a significant factor in the prevention of such explosions. Excellent Performance Hazardous Zones ATEX is the name commonly given to the framework for...
Read MoreWhat is a Pressure Transducer
A transducer is a device that converts input energy of one form into output energy of another. A Pressure transducer converts applied pressure into an analogue electrical output. Over the years, pressure transducers have provided a convenient, accurate and reliable method of controlling and monitoring pressure in thousands of applications, as well as being used indirectly to measure variables such as fluid/gas, water level, flow and speed. What is a Pressure Transducer? Pressure transducers are designed to be rugged and stable. They are able to operate in severe shock and vibration...
