Pressure measurement technology Focus on pressure measurement technology

Pressure measurement technology Focus on pressure measurement technology Piezoelectric crystals – PiezoStar versus quartz The electrical charge generated by a single crystal disk depends only on the piezoelectric material, but not on its geometric dimensions. To produce sensors with higher sensitivity, several crystal disks can be stacked on top of one another and connected electrically in parallel. Alternatively, a piezoelectric material with higher sensitivity can be used (e.g. PiezoStar crystals). Various measurement principles are used in pressure measurement technology. However, two...

Depending on the application, the use of a piezoelectric or piezoresistive pressure sensor is determined. The following sections outline the key difference between the two technologies, so as to simplify your decision-making process. Piezoelectric pressure sensors Dynamic pressure measurements Piezoelectric pressure sensors have a high natural frequency of more than 500 kHz and are thus ideal for applications where fast pressure rise times of up to 1µs have to be measured. Pressure measurement technology Piezoelectric vs. piezoresistive pressure sensors Quasi-static measurements Due to...

Piezoelectric pressure sensors Piezoelectric pressure sensors

One of the most important selection criteria for piezoelectric pressure sensors is the output signal. Kistler offers piezoelectric pressure sensors with charge (PE) as well as voltage output (IEPE) Piezoelectric pressure sensors are connected to an electronic circuit which converts the charge generated by the sensor into a proportional voltage. If this electronics is integrated into the sensor housing, it is referred to as a voltage output or IEPE or Piezotron sensor. If the electronics is an external device (charge amplifier), it is referred to as charge output or PE sensor. PE pressure...

Piezoelectric pressure sensors Cables IEPE cable Cable connections Piezoelectric pressure sensors and charge amplifiers must be connected with a low noise high-impedance cable (insulation resistance >1013 Ω). IEPE pressure sensors and IEPE couplers can be connected with a cost-effective standard coaxial cable or a low noise high-impedance PE cable. Cable connectors: sensor side Two cable connectors are generally available to connect the cables to the sensor. In contrast to standard coaxial cables, the innermost wire of high-impedance cables is insulated with PTFE (this reduces drift effects...
