New Universal Glow Plug Sensor Simplifies Indicator Measurements

Wed, 13 Jun 2007 05:47:22 +0200

This simplification facilitates the preparation of indicator measurements, reduces the need to keep stocks of sensors in various lengths and shortens delivery times.
The use of glow plug adapters permits cylinder pressure measurements to be taken without need for a separate measuring bore. The adapter is screwed into the existing bore of the original glow plug.

Level measurement in control

Wed, 06 Jun 2007 23:59:09 +0200

Vega offers a range of rugged level measurement devices designed to withstand pressure shocks, abrasion, moisture, vibration, pollution and condensation. Tough housings protect the fully potted electronics from the moist, humid ambient conditions and the harsh cleaning processes typical of this industry. To measure up to the increasing demands on operational reliability, SIL (Safety Integrity Level) classified instruments are available.

AST Offers Pressure Sensing Products for Integration into HVAC and Refrigeration Equipment

Fri, 23 Mar 2007 19:28:42 +0100

Thermal Flash Protection™ is the technology applied by AST to reduce the effects of thermal flash transients when the media is Ammonia. First, AST utilizes its one-piece stainless steel sensing element with 316L-wetted materials. This element is free of welds, oil-fill and internal O-rings. Next, a special non-clogging port design is used in order to minimize the extreme temperature change.

The wireless hypertension sensor is a proprietary miniature device developed by CardioMEMS to be positioned just below the surface of the skin above the patient's radial artery using a minimally invasive procedure. The sensor is designed to allow for a precise and accurate measurement of systemic blood pressure using the CardioMEMS proprietary electronics module.

HVAC/R Pressure Sensors Designed for Integration into HVAC & Refrigeration Equipment

Thu, 15 Mar 2007 01:06:43 +0100

Unlike freon, ammonia temperatures rapidly change from 100?F to -70?F or below. Pressure sensors used in freon systems cannot
withstand these temperature extremes. AST's HVAC/R pressure sensors are built to withstand the extreme temperatures of ammonia cooling systems.
