The future of human intelligence is closely tied to sensors, and as automation continues to evolve, so does the development of sensor technology. Everyone knows that there are various types of sensors, each with its own unique applications. In the vast Chinese sensor market, pressure sensors have consistently led the way in intelligent innovation.
Pressure sensors are not only essential in industrial measurement but also play a vital role in everyday life. In today’s modern world, they are widely used for automated monitoring and control. Similarly, in the automotive industry, pressure sensors have become an integral part of vehicle systems. While it might be surprising, pressure sensors are present in almost every large mechanical device. In fact, you can find them everywhere—on motorcycles, in home appliances, and even in medical equipment.
The quality of pressure sensors is always a major concern during production. However, while the production inspection team plays a role, the true test of a sensor's performance and lifespan lies in the hands of the user. Below are some key points to consider when using pressure sensors in real-world situations.
The working environment of a pressure sensor is often complex. It’s important to prevent dirt buildup in the piping and avoid contact with corrosive or high-temperature media. When measuring gas pressure, the sensor should be installed at the top of the process pipe, allowing any accumulated liquid to drain back into the pipeline. For liquid pressure measurements, the pressure tap should be placed on the side of the pipe to prevent sediment from clogging the sensor, which could lead to inaccurate readings.
The pressure guide tube should be installed in an area where temperature changes are minimal to ensure stable sensor operation. When measuring liquid pressure, the sensor must be positioned away from direct flow to avoid damage from overpressure. During winter, outdoor sensors must be protected against freezing to prevent ice expansion from damaging the system. When wiring the sensor, make sure the cable passes through a waterproof gland or coiled tube, and tighten the seal to prevent water ingress, which could cause electrical faults.
For steam or high-temperature media, a condenser or buffer tube should be used to protect the sensor. The operating temperature must never exceed the sensor’s maximum limit. These precautions are essential for ensuring long-term reliability and accurate performance in real-world applications.
