Versatile, low cost pressure sensors

4th Quarter 2016 Hydraulic systems & components

Kobold has on offer the compact and versatile type SEN-98/-99 pressure sensors. The tried and tested principle of a thick-film ceramic measuring cell ensures great reliability. This pressure sensor meets the highest of performance demands by virtue of its robust construction and overpressure safety properties, as well as temperature stability and good reproducibility. The unit’s overload protection limit is dependent on the measurement range, of which there are 31, running from -1. . .0 bar to 0. . .600 bar relative pressure or from 0…1 to 0…25 bar absolute pressure. There is a choice of 4. . .20 mA, 0. . .5 V or 0. . .10 V analog outputs for signal transmission.

Fast, on the spot information of the measured pressure is made possible by the practical AUF type plug-on displays. Standard sensors have protection class IP65. The wetted parts are stainless steel, ceramic and sealing material FKM. The SEN-98/-99 is manufactured with an accuracy of 0,5% as standard, an accuracy of 0,25% is available optionally. The optimum design opens up a wide range of applications for pressure sensors, for example hydraulic systems, compressors, refrigeration industry, welding, vacuum, water, oil and gases.

How to protect against water hammer
SA Gauge Editor's Choice Hydraulic systems & components
Water hammer is a high-pressure surge or wave created by the kinetic energy of moving fluid when it is rapidly forced to stop or change direction, altering the liquid’s velocity. The progression of the water hammer shockwave needs to be detained and slowed before reaching the instrument sensor. SA Gauge manufactures several such devices in order to achieve this.
