With the continuous improvement of industrial automation, industrial pressure sensors play an increasingly important role in the production process. However, when choosing the location of the pressure point of an industrial pressure sensor, many companies often ignore its importance, resulting in problems such as inaccurate measurements and damage to the sensor. This article will show you how to correctly select the location of the pressure point for an industrial pressure sensor.
1. Understand the working conditions.
Before selecting the location of the pressure sensor pressure sensor, we need to fully understand the production process and equipment conditions. This includes parameters such as media type, pressure range, temperature range, corrosivity, as well as the working principle and operation of the equipment. This information helps us determine the best location for the pressure extraction point.
2. Choose the right installation location.
1.Avoid vibrations and shocks.
Vibrations and shocks are unavoidable in industrial processes. To protect the pressure sensor, the pressure point should be kept away from vibration and shock sources. If vibration cannot be avoided, anti-vibration measures should be taken, such as the use of shock-absorbing pads.
2.Avoid high and low temperatures.
Both high and low temperatures have an impact on the measurement accuracy of pressure sensors. Therefore, the pressure point should be kept away from the high and low temperature areas. For example, in high-temperature steam pipelines, the pressure point should be set outside the insulation.
3.Avoid corrosion and erosion.
In some production processes, the medium can cause corrosion and erosion to the sensor. Therefore, the pressure point should be kept away from these areas, or a sensor with corrosion protection should be selected.
4.Easy to maintain and clean.
In industrial processes, equipment requires regular maintenance and cleaning. Therefore, the pressure point should be easy to inspect and maintain. At the same time, impurities such as clogging and dirt should be avoided from entering the pressure point and sensor.
3. Precautions.
1.Make sure that the pipe connections are well sealed to avoid leaks affecting the measurement results.
2.During the installation process, the correct installation and commissioning should be carried out in accordance with the instructions provided by the manufacturer.
3.During use, the pressure sensor should be regularly inspected and maintained to ensure its normal operation.
4.If the measurement results are abnormal or the sensor is faulty, it should be stopped for inspection in time and contact a professional for repair or replacement.
In short, the correct selection of the position of the pressure point of the industrial pressure sensor is of great significance to ensure the stability and reliability of the production process. In actual operation, we need to consider the working conditions and equipment characteristics comprehensively, select the appropriate installation location and precautions, and ensure that the pressure sensor can accurately and reliably monitor the pressure parameters in the production process.
