Sensor Technology

Choose a sensor with a specific type of sensing technology which is most suitable for your application.

Pressure transducers & pressure transmitters with silicon strain gauge sensing diaphragms which have output signals with good linearity, hysteresis and short term repeatability. Semiconductor pressure sensors also have high overpressure ratings and sensitivity due to the high gauge factors of the semiconductor strain gauges.

Hydrostatic pressure sensors with silicon semiconductor strain gauge diaphragms which offer high accuracy for low to medium range liquid level measurement. The small surface area of silicon chips is ideal for incorporating into the design of small diameter submersible sensors which are lowered down narrow boreholes as part of groundwater surveys.

Bonded foil strain gauge or BFSG pressure sensors have foil gauges made from materials such as Constantan which are bonded using industrial adhesives to a stainless diaphragm or beam which is the material which flexes in response to change in pressure.

Pressure transducers & pressure transmitters with a Alumina ceramic sensing diaphragm. Find a pressure sensor or level sensor here with an Aluminium Oxide (Al2O3) flush ceramic diaphragm for applications requiring high abrasion or corrosion resistance.

Ceramic diaphragm hydrostatic level sensors for measuring the fluid level of aggressive and abrasive fluids. These sensors are used in hazardous environment applications such as petrochemical tanks, chemical storage, landfill groundwater monitoring and wastewater management.

Linear variable differential transformer or LVDT pressure sensors convert pressure into postional movement which is measured to a high precision by a sliding core rod inside one primary and two secondary coiled wire bobbins.
