Application Notes

Creating a Seal to a TR Series Pressure Sensor Using an O-Ring

This application note explains how to establish a good face or radial seal to the TR Series pressure sensor using an O-ring.

Using the LP Series Pressure Sensor for Differential or Gauge Pressure

This application note explains how to use the LP Series pressure sensor to measure either differential or gauge (also spelled gage) pressure.

Pressure Sensor Bridge Configurations

Advantages and disadvantages of different pressure sensor bridge configurations and an explanation of when to use each one.

Handling and Mounting of Pressure Die

An overview of the best methods for handing, storing and mounting Merit Sensor’s bare die pressure sensors.

Reflow Soldering using Automated Equipment

An explanation of soldering methods using automated equipment intended to assist end users with soldering Merit Sensor parts using either Pb-free solder or Pb-free containing solder.

Best Practices

Methods to obtain accurate readings from CMS, LP2, and 1540 products

Post Calibration Offset Correction on Pressure Sensors

Merit Sensor’s CMS-SERIES and LP2-SERIES Series pressure sensors come with an integrated Post Calibration Offset Correction (PCOC) function, designed to correct offset shifts caused by reflow soldering and housing assembly.

High accuracy in Ultra-Low-Pressure Sensors: Managing offset shifts after solder reflow

Ultra‑low‑pressure sensors provide exceptionally high sensitivity for applications such as airflow, HVAC, and industrial control. Due to this sensitivity, mechanical stresses introduced during surface‑mount reflow soldering can result in measurable offset shifts.
