How to Measure Pressure in Lines with Heavy Pressure Spikes
Simply install Gems 1200/1600 Series Pressure Transducers. Here’s why: It starts with a heavy SS diaphragm able to withstand pulsating pressure; It’s paired with a high-sensitivity CVD sensor; laser welded for zero distortion; A custom ASIC chip provides exceptional linearity correction and superior thermal compensation. The combination of these components leverages the strength of sensing […]
Accuracy vs. Resolution
Purpose: To describe the difference between “accuracy” and “resolution” for silicon based pressure sensors. Application: Any application. Discussion: Silicon based pressure sensor inherently have infinite resolution. The limit to the practical use of this limitless resolution is based upon many factors associated with the compensation and amplification of the output signal and the accuracy demanded […]
