IP68-waterproof pressure sensor

We are all familiar with knowing that to purchase pressure transmitters for underwater use, IP68 needs to be met.

Sino-Inst provides a variety of waterproof pressure sensors that meet IP65-IP67-IP68.

So, what is the IP protection level of the liquid level sensor?

Introduction to Protection Levels

IP is the abbreviation of Ingress Protection. The IP rating is the degree of protection for the enclosure of electrical equipment against the intrusion of foreign objects.

The source is the standard IEC 60529 of the International Electrotechnical Commission.

This standard was also adopted as an American National Standard in 2004.

In this standard, the protection of electrical equipment enclosures against foreign objects.

The format of IP rating is IPXX, where XX is two Arabic numerals.

The first marked number indicates the contact protection and foreign object protection level. The second marked number indicates the waterproof protection level.

IP is the international code used to identify the protection level. The IP level is composed of two numbers. The first number means dustproof. The second number means waterproof. The larger the number, the better the group leader of protection.

In the protection level of the liquid level sensor, the protection level IP68 is the highest level of the waterproof level standard of the connector.

To evaluate the waterproof performance of the waterproof connector, it mainly depends on the two digits XX after the IPXX. The first X is from 0 to 6, and the highest level is 6. The second X is from 0 to 8, the highest level is 8;

analog water pressure sensor

Analog signal refers to information represented by a continuously changing physical quantity. The amplitude, or frequency, or phase of the signal changes continuously with time. In engineering, the output analog signal is generally 4-20mA or 1-5V electrical signal.

An analog signal is one in which the information parameters appear as continuous signals within a given range. Or in a continuous time interval. The characteristic quantity of its representative information can be presented as a signal of any value at any instant.

Analog Water Pressure Sensor means that the sensor that measures water pressure can output 4-20mA or 1-5V electrical signal.

The water pressure transducer is the most commonly used pressure transmitter in the field of industrial automation. It is widely used in pressure measurement and control of water supply equipment, building water supply system, residents, workshops, water conservancy, chemical industry, medical treatment, electric power, air conditioning, diamond press, metallurgy, vehicle braking, etc. The water pressure transmitter will have an immeasurable role in the future automation industry.

The core of the water pressure transmitter is usually made of diffused silicon. The working principle is that the pressure of the measured water pressure acts directly on the diaphragm of the sensor. Make the diaphragm produce a micro-displacement proportional to the water pressure. Change the resistance value of the sensor. and detect this change electronically. And convert and output a standard measurement signal corresponding to the pressure.

You can use a water pressure gauge to connect to the water pipe to measure. Ordinary oil pressure gauges can also be used temporarily, but pay attention to the range. The pressure is generally below 3MPa, which can be roughly estimated in this way.

Underwater pressure sensors are also called Submersible pressure transducers, or Submersible level transmitters.

Underwater pressure sensors are composed of a pressure sensor, a signal amplifier and a conversion circuit, which can be directly put into the water.

A silicon semiconductor pressure sensitive element is used as the detection element. A pressure sensitive element placed in the fluid interacts with the pressure in the depth of the fluid. Using the piezoresistive effect of silicon material, there will be an electrical signal output. So as to offset the impact of changes in the external atmospheric pressure, to ensure the accuracy of the measurement.

At present, the role of the water pressure sensor is mainly manifested in the following aspects:

  1. Determination of water pressure values in outdoor areas such as rivers, rivers, lakes and seas.
  2. Measurement of the pressure value of the water tank of automobiles and some high-end motorcycles.
  3. In various liquid level measurement sites, it can be used as a liquid level gauge.
