Melt Pressure Sensor Protection Housing
It is important to protect melt pressure sensors against environmental factors when used in various applications. Therefore, a protection cage or enclosure can be used to protect the sensors from various external factors (physical damage, dust, water, chemicals, etc.). These protection measures can help ensure that the sensor has a long life, accurate measurements, and reliable operation. Here are the types of guard cages or housings commonly used for melt pressure sensors:
Waterproof Housings:
It is used to protect the sensor from liquids and increase water resistance. Waterproof housings protect sensors from rain, moisture or water spray when used in outdoor applications.
Dustproof Enclosures:
Dustproof enclosures are used to protect sensors from dust, particles or contaminants. It is especially useful in industrial environments where dust may be a problem.
Chemical Resistant Enclosures:
It is used to protect sensors against chemical factors in environments containing chemicals. Chemically resistant housings add durability to the sensor's material structures.
Shockproof Cages:
It is used in industrial environments to prevent sensors from being impacted and to protect them from physical damage.
High Temperature Enclosures:
It is used to protect sensors in high temperature applications and to increase the sensor's resistance to temperature changes.
Air Vented Enclosures:
It is used to provide air circulation while protecting the sensor against external environmental conditions. This can help with temperature control of the sensor.
Vibration Resistant Cages:
It is used to fix sensors in vibrating environments and prevent damage caused by vibration.
Adjustable Enclosures:
It is used to mount sensors at a specific angle or position. Adjustable housings are useful for aligning the sensor in a particular orientation.
These housings can be used to tailor sensors to specific application requirements. Depending on the characteristics of each application, various levels of protection of the sensors may be needed. Therefore, appropriate protection measures must be selected taking into account the environment in which the melt pressure sensor will be used and the application requirements. Installation manuals and technical documentation provided by the manufacturer can guide you in choosing the correct protection cage or enclosure.
