February 28, 2008, Depew, NY, USA – PCB Piezotronics (PCB®) has announced the release of a new 4-page, full-color capabilities brochure, entitled, "Intrinsically Safe, Industrial Dynamic ICPÒ Pressure Sensors." The brochure highlights specific sensor and instrumentation available for pressure monitoring, diagnostics, troubleshooting, and control applications in hazardous factory environments, as well as oil, gas & petrochemical; gas turbines; pumps; and engine and compressor monitoring applications.
PCB® Series 102A and 121A sensors offer intrinsic safety certifications to CSA and ATEX standards, permitting use on machinery operating in hazardous environments. Applications include monitoring dynamic pressure events such as surges, pulsations, spikes, leak detection, combustor instability, and acoustics found in operation of oil & gas well heads, pumps, gas compressors, pipe-lines, reciprocating engines, and gas turbines. Sensors may be used with ICP® signal conditioning and permit use of a variety of inexpensive 2-wire cable systems. The low-impedance signal may be transmitted over long cable distances, and sensors may be used in dirty environments with no signal degradation. PCB® can also assist with providing many other styles of dynamic pressure sensors with hazardous area approvals.
