Sensata Technologies Introduces High Accuracy Hermetic Pressure Sensors for Industrial Applications
Ideal for use in applications with mid and high pressure ranges including: Hydraulics and Pneumatics; Mobile Hydraulics and Off-Highway Vehicles; Pumps and Compressors; Air Conditioning and Refrigeration Systems; Plant Engineering and Automation.
SWINDON, United Kingdom, September 30, 2020- Sensata Technologies (NYSE:ST), an industrial technology company and a leading provider of sensors, today announced the availability of the new PTE7100 and PTE7300 hermetic pressure sensors for industrial applications with mid and high pressure ranges. Building on Sensata's automotive leading Microfused Strain Gauge (MSG) with best-in-class accuracy, this new series of pressure sensors provides high burst strength and high shock and vibration performance, making it a reliable and robust solution for customers with challenging measurement requirements.
The stainless steel design features a hermetic port without using internal o-ring seals, which enables sensor compatibility with most media and use in harsh environments. A snubber option is available to dampen pressure spikes from hammer and cavitation.
The PTE7100 series hermetic analog pressure sensor has a measuring range from 0-50 bar to 0-600 bar (0-725 to 0-8700 psi). The sensor's high mechanical shock rating of up to 500g, vibration up to 30g (10…2000Hz) and a burst pressure of ≥10X make it a reliable solution with an extended product life. A wide variety of highly customizable ports, connectors and analog electrical outputs allows for easy integration with existing system electronics in many industrial applications including self-propelled scissor lifts, injection molding, CO2 HVAC systems, and other hydraulic or pneumatic applications.
With a measuring range from 0-16 bar to 0-600 bar (0-230 to 0-8700 psi), the PTE7300 series sensor provides an I2C digital output of both pressure and temperature and is available in a fully hermetic IP69K package developed for wet environments. The PTE7300 features low power consumption for battery operation, fast response time, increased sensor diagnostics, and sensor communication integrity check using cyclic redundancy check (CRC). The CRC of the communication data is additional to the integrity check of the internal chip memory and allows users to validate 100% of the sensor output, providing an extra measure of data protection for the sensor. In addition, the product is REACH/RoHS/CE compliant and is suitable for drinking water safe applications.

FLIR Si1-LD - Industrial Acoustic Imaging Camera for Compressed Air Leak Detection
The FLIR Si1-LD is an easy-to-use acoustic imaging camera for locating and quantifying pressurized leaks in compressed air systems. This lightweight, one-handed camera is designed to help maintenance, manufacturing, and engineering professionals identify air leaks faster than with traditional methods. Built with a carefully constructed array of MEMS microphones for high sensitivity, the Si1-LD produces a precise acoustic image that visually displays ultrasonic information, even in loud, industrial environments. The acoustic image is overlaid in real time on a digital image, allowing you to accurately pinpoint the source of the sound, with onboard analytics which quantify the losses being incurred. The Si1-LD features a plugin that enables you to import acoustic images to FLIR Thermal Studio suite for offline editing, analysis, and advanced report creation. Field analysis and reporting can also be done using the FLIR Acoustic Camera Viewer cloud service. Transferring of images can be managed via memory stick or USB data cable. Through a regular maintenance routine, the FLIR Si1-LD can help facilities reduce their environmental impact and save money on utility bills.
