High temperature or aggressive environment to Pressure Sensor
High temperature or aggressive environment influence on the Melt Pressure Sensor
Melt pressure sensors may encounter some difficulties when operating in high temperature or aggressive chemical environments. Such conditions can affect the performance and durability of the sensor. Here are the possible effects of high temperatures and aggressive environments on melt pressure sensors:
High temperature:
High temperature can have adverse effects on the materials of the sensor. It is important that the electronic components or gasket materials used inside the sensor can operate at high temperatures.
High temperatures can affect the sensitivity and accuracy of the sensor. Thermal expansion properties of the materials must be taken into account.
Additionally, high temperature may shorten the life of the sensor or increase calibration requirements.
Aggressive Environments:
Chemical or corrosive environments can damage the sensor's materials. Especially gasket and body materials must be resistant to such environments.
Chemical effects can negatively affect the sensor's performance and mislead its measurements.
Suitable materials must be selected for sensors that will operate in aggressive environments. For example, chemically resistant materials such as stainless steel or PTFE (Polytetrafluoroethylene) can be used.
