Industrial pressure transducers are used in a wide variety of applications ranging from HVAC/R compressors, refrigeration and variable speed pumps to hydraulic pressure, oil and water. A transducer can be used anywhere there's a pipeline or chamber, its function is to sense and convert pressures into a proportional electrical output signal that is transmitted to monitoring or control system.

GIS (Geographic Information Systems) believe it or not will make just about any HVAC professional's job easier. Aerial photography became extremely useful to contractors when progress ofhttp://blog.setra.com/gis-can-make-hvac-jobs-easier/2014/10/02 projects could be shown through pictures. Eventually other job functions caught onto this resource that had been available for years. 

Have you ever wondered why AC units can't produce consistent airflow? Or even what's the root of system inefficiencies? One of the main causes is that a monitoring solution isn't in place or isn't working properly.

With different equipment comes different air pressure testing techniques for measurement. But are you sure if your procedures up to date? This article breaks down specifically what methods need to be implemented for different scenarios. These new steps in calculating

Your HVAC system is typically the largest consumer of energy in your building and also one of your most “high profile”. When your HVAC system malfunctions the facility manager and building owners quickly hear about it from the people in the building. Whether it is in a hospital, school, or office building; when people are uncomfortable they complain about it.

Setra's educational webinars and videos on demand provide helpful information on applications, industry best practices and more. These webinars and videos are just a few of Setra's readily available resources for technical info.

The sensing and measurement of physical quantities through small changes in electrical capacitance is scarcely a new concept. The natural benefits of this approach were recognized for many years. But it was not until Setra engineers introduced new materials, new designs, and innovative, dedicated circuitry that the techniques full potential was realized in the practical, real world of pressure measurement.

HVAC controls are built around a number of parameters that affect a building’s interior environment; temperature, humidity, air intake, and air exhaust. Reliable inputs are critical to effective control. Setra provides robust, accurate sensors to help you control your air handling equipment with ease, efficiency, and dependability.

231RS Wet-to-Wet, Differential, Multi-Configurable Pressure Transducer with Armored Jacket

The Model 231RS wet-to-wet differential pressure transducer with remote sensors reduces labor, materials, and time. The differential pressure sensors are installed directly into the pipe and electrical connection is made between the remote sensors and the Model 231RS via cables or conduit, reducing labor cost by one-third and the cost of copper to connect the pressure transducer to the pipe. 

Shock & vibration are two potential mechanical problems for pressure transducers.

Shock is a sudden, unexpected impact that transmits energy to a device in a relatively short time interval. For a pressure transducer, that energy passes through the stainless steel up through the housing. Shock may originate from rough transportation and handling, such as by trucks, forklifts and conveyors. Alternately, shock can be caused simply by dropping the transducer on the shop floor or by an assembler slamming a cabinet door adjacent to it. A transducer may not be damaged by a single shock, but can experience fatigue failure with numerous low-level shocks over the course of its life.
