Specific Oil Pressure Measurement

Written by STS | Jun 23, 2025 1:23:51 PM

Use Case: Pressure monitoring for explosion prevention in tank systems

Application

A sensor system is used to monitor static and dynamic pressure — for example, during sudden pressure spikes due to explosions — in tank systems. It reliably measures a wide range of media, including organic and inorganic dusts, dyes, salts, solvents, alkalines, and acids (e.g., in cleaning processes). The sensor is mounted above the maximum fill level of the tank.

Objective

Early detection of critical pressure conditions to prevent potential explosions and increase safety in industrial processes.

Advantages

  • Reliable monitoring of critical pressure conditions
  • Adaptable to various media and process conditions
  • Enhanced safety through early warning of hazardous pressure increases
