Correct Application and Installation of Melt Pressure Sensor
Correct application and installation of the Melt Pressure Sensor is important to ensure optimum sensor performance, maintain measurement accuracy, and ensure longevity. Here are some factors to consider for the correct application and installation of the melt pressure sensor:
Sensor Placement:
The correct placement of the sensor is determined by the flow direction of the melt to be measured and the measuring range of the sensor. The sensor should be placed in the area where the flow is most intense. Also, the correct mounting position must be chosen to minimize flow disturbances around the sensor.
Links:
The sensor must be integrated with the system with the correct connections. Connections must be tight and secure. If necessary, suitable sealing elements should be used. During connections, it is important that the sensor is not mechanically damaged and is correctly aligned.
Electrical Connections:
Make sure that the electrical connections of the sensor are made correctly. The correct cable type and appropriate connection method must be used. Make sure the connections are tight and secure.
Protection and Insulation:
Appropriate protection and isolation should be provided around the sensor. If necessary, protective covers, enclosures or cable ducts should be used. The sensor must be protected from physical damage, chemical influences and environmental influences.
Temperature Effects:
The sensor must be used within the correct temperature range. In applications that will be exposed to high temperatures, make sure the sensor has high temperature resistance. Appropriate cooling or insulation measures must be taken to prevent the sensor from being affected by temperature effects.
Calibration and Adjustment:
Calibration and adjustment must be performed periodically for the sensor to function correctly. Make sure the sensor is calibrated correctly following the manufacturer's instructions. The calibration process optimizes the measurement accuracy and performance of the sensor.
Maintenance and Control:
Perform regular maintenance of the sensor and check its working condition.
