Extended reading: Flat Pressure Sensor for High Viscosity Fluids

Flush diaphragms appear flush from the surface, so they are called flush diaphragms.

A flush diaphragm is a diaphragm that is fully open and exposed to the pressure medium. The flush diaphragm is level or slightly recessed with the surrounding surface when installed.

The purpose of the flush membrane is to prevent the viscous medium from blocking the pressure hole, or to use a special material for better measurement with the medium to avoid damage to the sensor chip material, etc.

In short, the way to measure or protect the sensor according to the specific application

Flush pressure sensor refers specifically to Pressure Sensors with Flush Diaphragms. Pressure transmitters and transducers with open flush diaphragms suitable for use with highly viscous media such as plastics, paper pulp, bitumen, sewage, paint and adhesives.

Extended Reading: MEMS Pressure Sensors

Flushing connection is different from the common internal diaphragm pressure measurement method.

Internal diaphragm is the industry standard for most gaseous and liquid media because it is inexpensive and easy to handle.

However, once it encounters the measurement of viscous media, or in the case of high hygiene requirements. Keeping the Flushing connection can effectively avoid blockage. And meet the sanitary cleaning requirements.

Flush Mount Diaphragm can be:
Clamp flat film installation, threaded flat film installation, or flange flat film installation. Sometimes there are customers who need special cavityless flat membranes.

Clamp Flush Membrane Pressure Sensor

Clamp Flush Membrane Pressure Sensor

The clamp type adopts a silicone oil filling technology, and the pressure felt by the diaphragm is transmitted to the pressure chip through the silicone oil. The compensation circuit corrects the pressure signal to a linear electrical signal.

The stressed diaphragm on the end face of the clamp is exposed to directly feel the pressure. Prevents scaling, unsanitary and sticky pressure clogging problems. It is widely used in hygiene industries such as food, medicine, brewing and other occasions where the measuring medium may be fouled.

Working Principle

Working Principle of flush diaphragm pressure sensor

Flush diaphragm pressure sensors use processes such as diffusion or ion implantation to form resistors and connect them to a Wheatstone bridge. Micro-machining technology is used to form a pressure-sensitive diaphragm under the bridge. When pressure is applied to the diaphragm, the resistance value changes and a linearized output signal is generated that is proportional to the applied pressure. When we add DC power to the Wheatstone bridge, a DC voltage signal will be output. After the second conversion line, the two-wire system 4 ~ 20MA output is realized.

When to Use a Flush Diaphragm Pressure Connection?

In short, there are two cases, we can first consider Flush Diaphragm Pressure Connection.

The first is hygienic applications. Such as Pharmaceutical, Food, Beverage & Biotech.

For these applications the concern is not necessarily high viscosity but more to do with cleanliness. The wetted part of the Flush Diaphragm Pressure Sensor is flat. No holes, no ripples. This way, residue-free cleaning is easy.

The second is High Viscosity Liquids or Crystals.

Substances such as paints, oils, waxes, pastes, tars, plastic melts or slurries can clog the process connections of the pressure sensor.

The media may be too hard to adequately fill the internal voids of the pressure connector. Or once the process cools, the substance may wax. For these types of substances, it is necessary to specify a flushing connection in which the diaphragm is fully open.

Some pressure transducers have the option of flush-embedded diaphragms where mechanical damage to the diaphragm is a concern.

Frequently
Asked
Questions

In short, a pressure sensor converts pressure into a small electrical signal, which is sent and displayed. Therefore, these are also commonly referred to as pressure transmitters. Two common signals used are 4 to 20 mA signals and 0 to 5 volt signals.

Most pressure sensors work using the piezoelectric effect. This is when the material generates a charge in response to stress. This stress is usually compressive, but may be twisted, bent, or vibrated.

Pressure sensors detect pressure and can determine the amount of pressure by measuring the charge.

The pressure sensor needs to be calibrated in order to know what voltage or milliamp (mA) signal corresponds to what pressure. This is the basic “zero” and “span” calibration or minimum and maximum, which is a common job for maintenance personnel.

Pressure gauge according to its measurement accuracy:

Can be divided into precision pressure gauges, general pressure gauges.

General pressure gauges are based on atmospheric pressure.
The absolute pressure gauge is based on the absolute zero pressure.
The differential pressure gauge measures the difference between two measured pressures.

Pressure gauge according to its measuring range:

Divided into vacuum gauges, pressure vacuum gauges, micro pressure gauges, low pressure gauges, medium pressure gauges and high pressure gauges.

Vacuum gauges are used to measure pressure values ​​below atmospheric pressure.

Pressure vacuum gauges are used to measure pressure values ​​less than and above atmospheric pressure.

Micro pressure gauges are used to measure pressure values ​​less than 60,000 Pa.

Low pressure meter is used to measure 0 ~ 6MPa pressure value.

Medium pressure gauge is used to measure the pressure value of 10 ~ 60MPa.

High pressure gauge is used to measure pressure value above 100MPa.

Pressure gauge according to its display mode:

The pressure gauge is divided according to its use function:
Pressure gauges can be divided into local indication pressure gauges and charged signal control pressure gauges according to their different functions.

General pressure gauges, vacuum pressure gauges, shock-resistant pressure gauges, stainless steel pressure gauges, etc. are all in-situ indicating pressure gauges. They have no other control functions except the indicated pressure.

The output signals of the pressure signal-controlled pressure gauge mainly include:

1. Switching signal (such as electric contact pressure gauge)
2. Resistance signal (such as resistance remote pressure gauge)
3. Current signals (such as inductive pressure transmitters, remote pressure gauges, pressure transmitters, etc.)

It can be divided into: ordinary pressure gauge, ammonia pressure gauge, oxygen pressure gauge, electric contact pressure gauge, remote transmission pressure gauge, vibration resistance pressure gauge, pressure gauge with inspection pointer, double needle double tube or double needle single tube pressure gauge, digital display Pressure gauges. Digital precision pressure gauges.

Pressure sensors are mainly divided into two types: semiconductor piezoresistive type and electrostatic capacity type. Below we introduce their principles.

Semiconductor piezoresistance type:
The semiconductor piezoelectric impedance diffusion pressure sensor forms a semiconductor deformation pressure on the surface of the sheet. The sheet is deformed by an external force (pressure) to produce a piezoelectric impedance effect. The change in impedance is converted into an electrical signal.

Capacitance type:
The electrostatic capacitance type pressure sensor is a capacitor that opposes the fixed pole of glass and the movable pole of silicon to form a capacitance. It converts the change in electrostatic capacity generated by deforming the movable pole by external force (pressure) into an electrical signal.

A pressure sensor (Pressure Transducer) is a device or device that can sense the pressure signal and convert the pressure signal into a usable output electrical signal according to a certain rule.

At present, there are many types of core materials for pressure sensors. The performance of several core materials is briefly introduced below.

2. Polysilicon
3. Silicon-Sapphire
4. Compound semiconductor materials
5. SiC thin film material
