Mounting and Handling of Pressure Die
/by Carly RileyThis article is aimed to describe the best methods for handling and mounting bare die pressure sensors. Merit Sensor manufactures all pressure chips on 4 inch wafers, which are sawn and delivered on Mylar film (foil tape). This foil tape is fixed to a metal wafer frame that is appropriate for the majority of automated […]
Bridge Configurations for Pressure Sensors
/by Carly RileyThis article describes bridge configurations of different pressure sensors, when each can and cannot be used, and the pros and cons of each. Introduction Wheatstone bridge is the core of Merit Sensor’s pressure sensors and is comprised of a group of four resistors on a silicon etched diaphragm. When pressure is applied to the diaphragm, the resistors […]
Pressure Sensors for Medical Applications
/by Carly RileySince manufacturers of medical equipment encounter constant pressures to balance cost and quality, pressure sensors present developers with contradictory requirements that can result in dangerous compromises. Pressure sensors pose a common reliability challenge that force manufacturers to depend on expensive ongoing maintenance and component replacement to work around the inherent short lifetime of the sensor. […]
Pressure Sensor for Extended Temperatures
/by Carly RileyA 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
/by Carly RileyThe 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
/by Carly RileyExamples 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 […]
