Pressure Sensor for Extended Temperatures

A number of pressure sensor applications in harsh environments such as industrial, automotive, aerospace and even medical equipment present developers with contradictory requirements that result in expensive compromises. Generally, these sensors are employed to measure flow, level and pressure of harsh fluids such as refrigerant, oil, gas or other caustic solvents that can damage the […]

Sensor Modules – Uncompensated But Cost-Efficient

The choice of components in a system, including pressure sensors, is significantly affected by price efficiency. If the components exactly fit into the application without the addition of irrelevant cost or value, then it is possible to achieve the best results. The research on various sensor module configurations led to the discovery of an uncompensated […]

Inside a Car – Oil Pressure Sensor

Examples of a basic automobile go back as early as the 1700s, with the design and engineering of steam-powered engines, built to transport humans. By 1806, the automobile industry started the production of engines running on fuel such as gasoline and petrol. Since 1985, the revolution of car design has resulted in creating a machine […]

Compensated and Uncompensated Pressure Sensors

Take a look at Merit Sensor’s product portfolio, and you will see that the pressure sensors are available fully compensated, passively compensated, and uncompensated. Let’s briefly review the differences. When signal conditioning is used to compensate for a sensor’s non-ideal output, the sensor is considered fully compensated. When laser-trimming technology is used to change a sensor’s […]

Supporting Sustainability Through ISO Certifications

Environmental Sustainability Practices Climate change has catastrophic effects on our environment. We acknowledge the scientific evidence presented by the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change concerning the need to reduce greenhouse gas emissions to help prevent average temperature increases. We are committed to reducing our environmental footprint through resource conservation, increased efficiency, product innovation, and more. […]
