A tensile pressure sensor is a commonly used sensor used to measure tensile and compressive loads. There are a few things to keep in mind when installing and using a tensile pressure sensor to ensure measurement accuracy and the life of the sensor. The following will introduce the installation method and precautions of the tensile pressure sensor.
1.Choose the right installation location.
Choosing the right mounting location is an important step in the installation of a tension pressure sensor. First of all, it is necessary to select a place where the sensor will not be stressed or deformed. Secondly, it is necessary to consider the ease of installation and maintenance, as well as the ability to avoid external interference and damage to the sensor.
2.Prepare the basics.
Before installing a tensile pressure sensor, a suitable foundation needs to be prepared. The role of the foundation is to transmit and disperse external forces and protect the sensor from damage. The foundation can be concrete, steel and other materials, and the specific selection should be selected according to the actual application scenario and measurement requirements. At the same time, the design and construction of the foundation also need to pay attention to the compliance with relevant standards and specifications.
3.Mounting fixtures.
There are many ways to install and fix tensile pressure sensors, including bolt fixing, adhesive fixing, welding fixing, etc. When choosing the mounting method, it is necessary to choose according to the actual situation and ensure that there is no excessive stress on the sensor during the installation process. At the same time, the connection between the sensor and the measured object should be firmly and reliable during the installation process to avoid loosening or falling off.
4.Calibration adjustments.
Tension pressure sensors need to be calibrated and adjusted after installation to ensure measurement accuracy and stability. The calibration adjustment consists of two steps: zero calibration and range calibration. Zero calibration is to adjust the output signal of the sensor to zero or zero, and range calibration is to adjust the output signal of the sensor to about 50% of the full scale, and adjust it according to the actual application scenario. Care should be taken to avoid excessive shock and vibration to the sensor during calibration adjustment, which may affect the measurement accuracy.
5.Precautions.
The following points need to be paid attention to when installing and using tensile pressure sensors:
1) Avoid high-temperature operations such as welding and cutting near the sensor to avoid damage to the sensor
2) Avoid twisting, stretching and other operations on the sensor during installation, so as not to affect the measurement accuracy;
3) Calibration adjustment is required after installation to ensure measurement accuracy and stability
4) During use, it is necessary to pay attention to avoid excessive shock and vibration on the sensor, so as not to affect the measurement accuracy;
5) During long-term use, the sensor needs to be checked and maintained regularly to ensure the normal use of the sensor and prolong the service life.
In conclusion, the installation method and precautions of tensile pressure sensor are the key factors to ensure the measurement accuracy and the service life of the sensor. In practical applications, it is necessary to carefully select the appropriate installation position, prepare the foundation, choose the appropriate installation and fixing method, make calibration adjustments, and pay attention to related matters to ensure the normal use and prolongation of the service life of the sensor.
