Melt Pressure Sensor Location Selection
Some factors to consider when choosing melt pressure sensor location
Mounting melt pressure sensors in the correct location is important to obtain accurate and reliable measurements. The location of the sensor may vary depending on the requirements of the application, the properties of the fluid used and the overall design of the system. Here are some factors to consider when choosing melt pressure sensor location:
Liquid Flow Direction:
The melt pressure sensor should not be installed against the flow direction of the liquid. The sensor must be positioned correctly against the direction of liquid flow.
Selection of Measurement Point:
The melt pressure sensor must be mounted close to the point to be measured. It is important that the sensor is in the correct position to accurately measure pressure changes.
Location Depending on Application Type:
Depending on the type of application in which the sensor will be used, determine where to place the sensor. For example, industrial processes, automotive applications, or medical devices may face different location requirements.
Type and Properties of Liquid:
The properties of the liquid in which you will use the melt pressure sensor are important for the material compatibility and protection level of the sensor. A sensor that is resistant to chemical properties, temperature and pressure should be selected.
Mounting Surface Preparation:
It is important that the surface on which the sensor will be mounted is clean, flat and suitable. Uneven surfaces or dirty mounting locations can affect sensor performance.
Protection and Preservation:
It is important to choose appropriate protection and housing depending on the conditions of the environment in which you will use the sensor. For example, factors such as water-resistant housing and dust-proofing should be taken into consideration.
System Design and Ports:
The melt pressure sensor must be mounted in accordance with the overall design of your system. Ports and communication lines must be positioned correctly.
Mounting the sensor in the correct position increases the accuracy of measurements and optimizes system performance. Therefore, it is important to choose the correct location, taking into account the requirements and design of the application in which the sensor will be used. Installation manuals and technical documentation provided by the manufacturer can provide guidance on location selection.
