Measuring Pressure Changes of Molten Materials
How melt pressure sensors work to measure pressure changes in melts
Specially designed melt pressure sensors are used to measure pressure changes of molten materials. These sensors are made of durable materials that can operate under high temperature and pressure and are used to make reliable measurements in industrial processes. Here's how melt pressure sensors work to measure pressure changes in molten materials:
Sensor Structure:
Melt pressure sensors have a durable casing made of special alloys. This cover is made of materials that can withstand high temperatures. Inside the sensor is a measuring element that deforms in the area of the molten material exposed to pressure.
Deformation and Resistance Change:
Under the pressure of the molten substance, the measuring element of the sensor is deformed. This deformation causes a change in the electrical resistance of the strain gauge, which is a type of measuring element located within the sensor. This change is converted into an electrical signal and measured.
Signal Processing:
The changing electrical resistance is analyzed by a signal processing unit and the measurement result is presented in a readable form. This measurement is directly related to the pressure inside the melt.
Usage areas:
Such sensors are used to measure pressure changes of molten substances in metallurgy, plastic processing, automotive, food industry and many other fields. For example, in the metallurgical industry, it is used to control the pressure of molten metal in smelting furnaces.
Melt pressure sensors are indispensable for making precise and reliable pressure measurements in industrial processes. These measurements provide a number of advantages, such as improving product quality, optimizing production processes and ensuring energy efficiency. These sensors have a wide range of uses in industrial automation, quality control and process monitoring applications.
