‘Pressure Sensor’

An Engineeringtalk guide

Start with the news release Thermometers feature advanced signal processing from Ircon, which we summarised at the time by saying "Ircon has introduced the Modline 6 Series of infrared thermometers with advanced signal processing and background-reflected energy compensation capabilities. ". Several months prior to that, we featured the news release ITT introduces packer feedthrough system from ITT Interconnect Solutions: "The BIW field-attachable packer feedthrough system launched by ITT Interconnect Solutions is designed to provide a faster method of passing power cables through packers.".

In November 2009, we covered the news from Hamamatsu Photonics - take a look at CMOS digital photo IC for colour sensing which says: "Hamamatsu Photonics has introduced a 12-bit digital output colour sensor photo IC. ".

Take a look also at the news release from Sherborne Sensors, Sherborne announces MEMS inclinometers, as well as Pressure transducers measure up to 20,000psig from Endevco, and SGS offers acoustic emission testing package from SGS SA - Industrial Services.
