In the field of pressure measurement technology, the type of pressure varies depending on the reference point (reference pressure). 【Absolute Pressure】 In absolute pressure, the process pressure is measured with a vacuum as the reference. In the manufacturing process, the back side (reference side) of the diaphragm within the sensor element is kept in a vacuum and sealed in that state. When atmospheric pressure is applied to the diaphragm, the sensor measures the atmospheric pressure (meteorological atmospheric pressure). All fundamental physical formulas related to pressure are based on absolute pressure data. 【Gauge Pressure】 In gauge pressure, the process pressure being measured is referenced to atmospheric pressure. In other words, it measures the difference between the process pressure and the current atmospheric pressure. Since atmospheric pressure is affected by altitude and weather, it constantly fluctuates. Therefore, for processes where variations from atmospheric pressure are significant, measurements using gauge pressure are appropriate. The back of the measurement cell in gauge pressure sensors always has a vent hole, allowing the sensor element to reference atmospheric pressure within the housing. Gauge pressure is the most common type of pressure measured by pressure sensors and is used in almost all applications and industries. For shielded gauge pressure and differential pressure, please refer to the related links below!

How do differential pressure sensors work, and how do they differ from other sensor types? Gauge pressure and absolute pressure sensors have defined reference points for measuring pressure differences (for absolute pressure: absolute vacuum; for gauge pressure: atmospheric pressure). In contrast, differential pressure sensors measure the difference between two pressures without defining a reference point. Differential pressure sensors can be constructed in various designs, one feature of KELLER Pressure's products is that there are types that can use liquid at both ports (e.g., model PD-33X). They can measure differential pressure with high resolution. There are also sensors that use two absolute pressure measurement cells to measure two pressures and calculate the differential pressure through electronic circuits (model PD-39X). This structure is particularly suitable for high-pressure applications. Typical applications of differential pressure sensors: 1. Flow measurement There are several methods for measuring flow, but one common method is differential pressure measurement through an orifice plate. 2. Level measurement of liquefied gas tanks Liquefaction reduces volume, allowing for transportation and storage. Why is differential pressure measurement suitable for this level measurement?

Pressure peaks in closed systems can cause significant damage and are complex phenomena. But what exactly is a pressure peak? How does it occur, and how can we protect the system from pressure peaks? We will explain the role of precise measurements in ensuring the safety and efficiency of pressure systems. 1. What is a pressure peak? Why does it occur? The physical principles behind the phenomenon are Newton's three laws of motion and Bernoulli's principle. What causes water hammer and cavitation, and what are their effects? 2. Preventive measures Using simulations, protective components such as pressure dampers, pressure reducers, and check valves, as well as pressure sensors. 3. Why are pressure sensors necessary to protect the system from pressure peaks? Continuous monitoring with sensors allows for real-time recording of pressure peaks and can trigger automatic responses such as valve opening and closing. In the event of a failure of system components or protective devices, it can not only be directly detected but also prevented. Alarms can be automatically sent to responsible personnel via email, IoT, cloud, etc., in case of anomalies. For more details, please refer to the related links below!

Hydrogen poses a risk of leakage due to its status as the smallest molecule on Earth, which can lead to permeation. It also has highly flammable properties when exposed to air. Therefore, it is crucial to prevent leaks from hydrogen tanks or to detect them early. Keller's pressure sensors are used for leak testing in hydrogen fuel cells. The hydrogen fuel cell has three channels: one for air (oxygen), one for hydrogen, and one for cooling. Nitrogen is used first, followed by hydrogen, to detect leaks within the system. The pressure values at the inlet and outlet of the fuel cell are continuously recorded and displayed on the screen in real-time, allowing for ongoing monitoring. A drop in pressure indicates a leak in one of the three flow paths. Keller's pressure sensors have high accuracy, enabling them to detect leaks even in small areas that are not sealed, ensuring the safe use of fuel cells.

As attention focuses on hydrogen, which is considered a pillar of the future of energy, the importance of electrolyzers that decompose water into hydrogen is increasingly recognized. In a proton exchange membrane (PEM) electrolyzer, water enters one side of the device, and hydrogen passes through a permeable membrane to the opposite side due to the electric current, resulting in the decomposition of water into oxygen and hydrogen. Since hydrogen is often stored at high pressure after electrolysis, it is considered preferable to operate the electrolyzer at high pressure as well, as this can eliminate the need for additional compression processes. Therefore, it becomes necessary to control the pressure of the oxygen and hydrogen generated in the electrolyzer, and even if this can be achieved through back pressure control, it is essential to minimize the pressure difference between the two flows to avoid mechanical stress on the electrolyzer's membrane. For example, what should be done if the pressure difference between the oxygen side and the hydrogen side in a high-pressure electrolyzer is low, ranging from 1 to 10 kPa (which is the maximum pressure difference the membrane can handle)? What if a pressure measurement accuracy of <0.1% FS is required? This is where Keller's differential pressure sensor PD-39X comes into play. The PD-39X is equipped with two absolute pressure sensors, excels in pressure resistance on one side, and achieves an accuracy of 0.1% FS. For more details, please refer to the related links below!

The pressure sensors produced by KELLER in Switzerland are the original products invented over 50 years ago by founder Hannes W. Keller. Each package bears our quality seal, proving that all delivered products are within the specified accuracy class. KELLER symbolizes high-precision measurement technology. In 1966, Hannes W. Keller (commonly known as HWK) was working at the Honeywell Research Center in Minneapolis, USA. There, he invented the integrated silicon measurement cell, a high-precision measuring element manufactured using semiconductor technology, in collaboration with A.R. Gias. This silicon measurement cell was already incorporated into Honeywell's process transmitters by 1971 and introduced to the American market. HWK brought this young invention back to Switzerland, developed the first high-precision static pressure transducer, and has been manufacturing it at the headquarters in Winterthur, Switzerland since 1974. On July 25, 1978, HWK's invention was officially patented (U.S. Patent No. 4103273). The patent number is also embedded in the quality seal.

KELLER has been supplying pressure sensors to various aircraft sectors since 1997. - Pressure control in the cabin - Hydraulic distributors and filters - Valve control - Fuel pumps - Refueling systems - Air conditioning systems - Ventilation - Emergency oxygen supply to pilots Approximately 40,000 KELLER sensors are in operation in the skies, with about 30,000 used for cabin pressure control. Accurate control of cabin pressure contributes to comfort, especially during takeoff and landing. Currently, all Airbus models and Boeing's 787 (Dreamliner) utilize KELLER's pressure measurement technology. The reliability has also been proven; for example, cabin pressure sensors are required to have 200,000 to 400,000 hours of error-free operating time, and one of our major customers confirmed over 1 million hours of MTBF during a year of observation. In addition to the detailed explanation above, you can also enjoy the following topics in the "Related Materials": 1. How safe is air travel now? 2. Where are the 10 types of KELLER pressure sensors used? 3. Delving into the secrets of the Airbus A380, Airbus A400M, and Boeing 787 (Dreamliner).

Keller's pressure sensors are also used in rockets that fly to the thermosphere! SSC (Swedish Space Corporation) is a global leading company that provides cutting-edge space engineering, satellites, and launch services. SSC's rocket, the Suborbital Express, flies to an altitude of 260 km in the thermosphere, conducting scientific experiments in a microgravity environment on behalf of research institutions and companies. The experiments are conducted in a microgravity state, after which the rocket falls back to Earth. After a helicopter retrieves the rocket, SSC evaluates and analyzes the collected data and shares it with the users. In this rocket launch, Keller's pressure sensor PAA-33X was incorporated into the experimental module "ARLES-II." Prior to this, in the summer of 2019, Keller's pressure sensors were also used for pressure monitoring in the experimental module "ARLES-I." Using the pressure sensors, the pressure within a series of experimental cells was monitored, where experiments involving droplets and graphene particles (graphene is considered a future material due to its tear resistance, high elasticity, and conductivity) were conducted. Keller sensors were also used to measure the gas pressure inside the nitrogen tanks on board!

The industrial, energy, and mobility markets are undergoing significant transformation, but at the same time, they face many challenges. Keller will contribute to solving these issues with pressure sensors! Challenge 1: Permeation → Gold-plated diaphragm Challenge 2: Hydrogen embrittlement → Special stainless steel with increased nickel content Challenge 3: Gas leakage → Metal seal connections Challenge 4: Intrinsic safety explosion protection → Obtaining ATEX and IECEx certification

The deeper you go into the ocean, the greater the pressure becomes. At the deepest part of the ocean (about 11,000 meters), the pressure is an astonishing 1,100 times that of the sea surface! The deepest fish discovered was found at a depth of 8,300 meters (in the Izu-Ogasawara Trench). How can fish survive in such high-pressure deep-sea environments? One reason is believed to be that they possess a special substance called TMAO (trimethylamine N-oxide) that helps them cope with pressure. TMAO plays a role in preventing proteins inside cells from being crushed by water pressure. However, there are things that TMAO cannot do. For that, check out the YouTube link below!

The unit of force, the newton, is named after the British physicist/mathematician Isaac Newton. However, he also invented something completely different. It is for cats... The answer is in the YouTube link below!

You are likely familiar with the task of removing snow accumulated on cars or ice that has formed on windows. The same task is necessary for aircraft when it begins to snow or ice forms. The process of removing ice or snow from an aircraft is known as de-icing. De-icing is performed in specially designated de-icing areas and is scheduled just before the aircraft takes off. This is because ice and snow not only increase the weight of the aircraft but can also impair its aerodynamic characteristics. De-icing is carried out using a liquid that consists of at least 50% glycol mixed with water, and there are a total of four types of liquids that can be used for de-icing. At Amsterdam's Schiphol Airport, the mixture used for de-icing is stored in large heated tanks and is pumped into what is called "Safeaeros" before being used on the aircraft. Safeaeros is a type of spray vehicle specially developed for this purpose. At Schiphol Airport, four Safeaeros vehicles are used per aircraft (two in front of the main wings and two behind the tail). For more information, please refer to the related links below.

When selecting a pressure sensor, there is a type with a flush diaphragm structure. What are its advantages? Main features: 1. Suitable for measuring the pressure of viscous liquids such as ink. 2. Appropriate for applications where regular cleaning is desired. 3. Can be used in food processes if it has a clamp type. A typical pressure sensor has a screw at the tip, with a diaphragm (partition) that receives pressure located behind it. If the medium being measured is air, there is usually no problem with the standard structure. However, there are inquiries such as "I want to measure the pressure of ink" or "I need a structure suitable for cleaning since I regularly clean the pressure-receiving part," and in such cases, the standard structure does not allow for visibility of the interior, making it impossible to confirm whether it has been cleaned properly. In such cases, the pressure sensor with a flush diaphragm, where the pressure-receiving surface is exposed, proves effective. KELLER offers a wide range of products, including a minimum range of 30 kPa and an accuracy of 0.05% FS, with a wealth of experience. If you are interested, please feel free to consult with us.
