The Hydro Dynamic Pressure Sensor System consists of the 350300 Hydro Dynamic Pressure Transducer which uses piezoresistive sensing technology and the 146824 interconnect cable. It is intended for measuring both static and dynamic pressure in fluid machines such as hydro turbines or centrifugal pumps.
This sensor is an integral part of a Hydro Turbine or Centrifugal Pump Condition Monitoring and Asset Management System. When utilized with our 3500/46M Hydro Monitor and System 1 Plant Asset Management software, it enables trends and specialized dynamic plots for diagnostics. The Dynamic Pressure Transducer has a robust design for high reliability in plant environments and is designed for 50 million cycles.
For Hydro Turbine applications this measurement can detect and manage hydraulic phenomena such as Rough Load Zone, vortexing, and cavitation in the draft tube and head cover area, as well as pulsations in the penstock. For centrifugal pump applications, it can help detect and manage cavitation and other flow instabilities that are potentially detrimental to machinery and operations.
