A pressure transmitter measures the physical quantity of pressure in liquids or gases and provides the measured value as an electrical signal. The interactive graphic on this page guides you to the most important information about the key elements of a pressure transmitter: In addition to the main functional design elements, these are the interfaces to the environment, the most important criteria for selecting a proper pressure transmitter and the most important performance characteristics. The core elements of a pressure transmitter are the measuring cell, i.e. the sensor in the closer sense, the process connection; the electronics for signal processing; the electrical connection as well as the enclosing housing. Trafag pressure sensors are…

For 70 years Trafag thermostats have proven their robustness in order to withstand the most adverse environmental conditions. Industry usage ranges from air conditioning applications to engine and ship manufacturing and even to offshore oil and gas platform production. The appeal of Trafag thermostats lies in their high switching point precision even after decades of operation under harsh conditions without maintenance. Trafag thermostats are available in various sensor and housing versions, with various Ex and ship approvals as well as in railway-compliant versions. Measuring principle A capillary tube filled with liquid reacts to a temperature change as a result of the principle of thermal expansion. This expansion is detected using a precision structure…

Applications in mobile and stationary hydraulics are among the most demanding in terms of robust and reliable sensor requirements. Trafag pressure transmitters are used in applications from high accuracy test benching to heavy construction and agricultural equipment. They are proven for long term stability in extremely harsh environments from the dusty heat of deserts to the icy cold of sub-arctic forests. The reliable pressure transmitters with great long-term stability are highly prized for stationary hydraulics as well, for they avoid costly production interruptions.

Trafag has succeeded in unifying the highly dynamic response behavior of a test bench sensor and the extreme robustness of a mobile hydraulic pressure transmitter by combining thin-film-on-steel measuring cells and an ASIC developed in-house. The Trafag ASIC TX with an innovative parallel mixed-signal structure is the key to a response behaviour at nearly unlimited speed. In many applications, above all in the testing field, the aim is to record highly dynamic pressure curves, e.g in order to analyse the opening and closing performance of valves, track pressure curves of explosions and explosive pressure expansions or to examine brief pressure peaks in hydraulic systems. Transmitters for industrial applications on the market are generally…
