PX2AS2XX100PSAAX

Pressure sensors and transducers are instruments employed to measure the pressure of liquids or gases. Pressure is the amount of force exerted against a certain surface area, and pressure transducers and sensors are used in many settings to measure the pressure in different types of applications. PX2AS2XX100PSAAX is one such pressure transducer designed to be used in highly dynamic and hazardous pressure sensing applications. In this article, we will discuss its application fields and working principles.

Application Fields

The PX2AS2XX100PSAAX is a differential pressure sensor designed for use in highly dynamic scenarios. It is ideal for measuring the gas pressure and air pressure in upstream pipelines in power plants, coal mines, and chemical plants. The sensor can also be used to measure the pressure levels in wind tunnels of wind power laboratories. Its built-in safety features make it suitable for use in potentially hazardous situations such as those found in petrochemical facilities and other industrial plants. Furthermore, the built-in high and low alarm settings allow for automated systems to be created in combination with the sensor for extended accuracy, making it a useful tool for predictive maintenance systems. The sensor also features a high shock resistance and a long-term reliability of up to 10 years.

Working Principle

The PX2AS2XX100PSAAX uses a capacitive sensing technology to measure medium- to high-pressure levels. Capacitive sensing technology is based on the principle of electrical capacitance, which is the ability of a material to accumulate electrical charge when placed in a field of force. When electrical charges accumulate on the two sides of the sensor, it creates a voltage across the capacitor plates. This voltage is proportional to the pressure being applied to the sensor and can be used to accurately measure the pressure.

The sensor also features an asymmetrical bridge design which provides high accuracy and stability. The core consists of two small silicon diaphragms, which are encased within the sensing element and hermetically sealed. When pressure is applied to the two diaphragms, the applied force is converted to an electrical signal which is amplified and outputted as pressure level in bar. The sensor is also equipped with a temperature compensation and self-diagnostic functions which help to maintain precision and accuracy of the measurements over time.

The PX2AS2XX100PSAAX pressure transducer is a reliable and precise instrument for measuring pressure in hazardous and dynamic environments. Its precision technology and high shock resistance make it suitable for use in power plants, wind tunnels, petrochemical plants, and other industrial applications. It is an ideal tool for creating automated systems for predictive maintenance.
