What is Thermocouple

A thermocouple is comprised of at least two metals joined together to form two junctions. One is connected to the body whose temperature is to be measured; this is the hot or measuring junction. The other junction is connected to a body of known temperature; this is the cold or reference junction. Therefore the thermocouple measures unknown temperature of the body with reference to the known temperature of the other body.

Pressure transmitter WIKA model SA-11

The Pressure transmitter WIKA model SA-11 is designed especially for the requirements of the food and beverage, pharmaceutical and biotechnology industries.

It is particularly suitable for the special conditions of CIP/SIP cleaning processes, such as chemical stability towards cleaning liquids and high temperatures.

The flush diaphragm is directly welded to the process connection. This guarantees a crevice-free connection of the process connection and the measuring cell so that additional sealings are not required. For dead-space free instrumentation, aseptic process connections (clamp, threaded, VARIVENT ® and NEUMO®) are available.

The SA-11 pressure transmitter is ideally suited to fulfill the stringent demands of sanitary applications and is EHEDG certified. Furthermore, the SA-11 is marked with the 3-A symbol and current version number, as it conforms, based on a third-party verification, to the 3-A standard.

Design

A diaphragm made of 1.4435 stainless steel forms a flush separation of the process medium from the pressure measuring instrument.

The process pressure is transmitted hydrostatically from the diaphragm, via an FDA-approved system fill fluid, to a piezo-resistive sensor.

The measuring range covers 0 … 250 mbar up to 0 … 25 bar.

The SA-11 pressure transmitter is powered with a DC voltage of 10 (14) … 30 V. Available electronic output signals are 4 … 20 mA, 0 … 20 mA or 0 … 10 V output.

A stainless steel case with an ingress protection of up to IP 68 offers secure protection for external cleaning with splashed water and enables its use in high-humidity environments. Through the integrated cooling section, process temperatures of up to 150 °C can be realized.

Applications

  • For gases, compressed air, vapor, liquids, pastes and powdery media
  • Ultra-pure steam systems for SIP
  • Hydrostatic level measurement:
  • Vacuum pressure monitoring, e.g. vacuum conveyors, pump monitoring
  • Food and beverage manufacturing, pharmaceutical industry, biotechnology, sanitary applications

Capacitive Sensors

Capacitive sensors can be used to detect metal objects as well as nearly all other materials. These sensors are often used in applications including level, flow control for the detection of liquids, grains, and powders.

Standard Capacitive Sensor Product features:

  • 12, 18 and 30 mm cylindrical styles of stainless steel or plastic housings
  • 5mm thin rectangular and long-range 80 mm x 80 mm x 40 mm styles
  • Sensor outputs of 3-wire DC and NAMUR output types

What is a Capacitive Sensor?

Capacitive proximity sensors are non-contact devices that can detect the presence or absence of virtually any object regardless of material.  They utilize the electrical property of capacitance and the change of capacitance based on a change in the electrical field around the active face of the sensor.

Applications of Capacitive Sensors

  • Precision positioning
  • Disc drive industry
  • Precision thickness measurements
  • Non-conductive targets
  • Machine tool metrology

About Pepperl + Fuchs

In 1945, Walter Pepperl and Ludwig Fuchs founded a small radio workshop in Mannheim, Germany, based on the principles of inventiveness, entrepreneurial foresight, and self-reliance. The experience they acquired was transformed into new ideas, and they continued to enjoy developing products for customers. The eventual result was the invention of the proximity switch. This innovation represented the starting point of the company’s success story.

Today, Pepperl+Fuchs is known by customers around the world as a pioneer and an innovator in electrical explosion protection and sensor technology.
