21 parameters to consider before choosing a pressure sensor
On the SensorsONE website you will find an online Pressure Sensor Application Tool (PSAT) to help you select specification parameters for pressure transducers & transmitters.How many times have you submitted a pressure sensor enquiry to only find yourself entering into a cycle of email questions & answers to eventually home in on the most appropriate pressure sensor for the application. PSAT cuts out all this and ensures enough information is provided to pinpoint the most appropriate pressure transducer or transmitter for most applications. It also reduces the risk of missing out a specification parameter which might be critical to the choice of pressure sensor and its suitability for the application.
There are 21 key parameters available to select using this pressure sensor specifying tool. These help you check that you have considered all aspects of your application before you submit an enquiry. It also helps the application engineer receiving your enquiry to improve their response and provide better information to you.
When you submit an application using PSAT you will receive a copy of the pressure sensor specification you have created so that you can double check your selections and keep it for future use.
PSAT which takes less than 5 minutes to complete with only 3 mandatory fields and plenty of pull down choices to select, is designed to help the user create a complete pressure sensor specification and submit a detailed enquiry all at the same time.
