Impress Sensors and Systems will showcase a range of pressure and level sensor products at this year's Mtec exhibition, to be held 25-26 March 2009.
These products will include submersible hydrostatic level transmitters, a range of capacitive pressure sensor modules for OEMs and a new range of miniature pressure sensors.
Impress Sensors' IML range of hydrostatic level transmitters are stainless steel, marine bronze or PVC submersible level transmitters that can be supplied with a stainless steel, hastelloy or ceramic pressure sensor.
Applications include any type of level or depth measurement task, including water tanks, process lines, aggressive media (chemicals) tanks, rivers, sea water, sewage treatment, landfills, tank farms, water treatment plants and early warning flood or tsunami systems.
Nominal pressure range is from 0.5mWG up to 200mWG.
The IML also has the option to be fitted with an SDI-12 output, a serial data interface at 1200 baud.
This is a standard communications protocol that interfaces battery-powered data recorders with microprocessor-based sensors designed for environmental data acquisition.
It enables measurements to be transferred from an intelligent sensor to a data recorder.
SDI-12 is ideal for: applications where battery-powered operation with minimal current drain is required; applications where use of one data recorder with multiple sensors on a single cable is required; use with microprocessor-based sensors that perform complex calibration algorithms or make internal computations.
Impress Sensors' range of capacitive pressure sensors to be displayed at MTEC 2009 includes the ME704.
The ME704 is a ready-to-assemble capacitive pressure sensor module that can be configured and programmed by an RS232 interface.
The ceramic sensor offers a 10:1 turn down ratio and high overpressure resistance.
The sensor can be integrated into any transmitter product, including submersible units.
Ranges start from 60mbar up to 20bar.
Impress Sensors will also introduce its ASM series of miniature pressure transducers to the industrial arena.
Originally supplied to the motor sports and other tough automotive sectors such as fuel, oil, air, coolant, brakes and water pressure sensors, the ASM series is now being offered to industrial customers.
The rugged all-stainless steel transmitters have a thin film stainless steel pressure sensor.
The housing is made from stainless steel and sealed to IP67.
Nominal pressures are from 5bar up to 700bar.
Impress Sensors also offers sensors for pressure, temperature, level and distance measurement; process controllers; process indicators; data logging and recording systems; calibration equipment; and SIL2-approved and ATEX-approved products.
