or certain configurations, the process fluids generate hydrogen atoms that may be diffused through the metal diaphragm.
The contamination of the oil associated with this diffusion degrades the transmitter’s measurement accuracy and life time.
Thanks to our unique gold and ceramic double-coating diaphragm, the hydrogen’s permeation is stopped.
Hydrogen pressure sensors are used in a number of different applications. Common uses include fuel cell, gas monitoring and automotive. Hydrogen pressure sensors are essential for these applications as they measure the pressure of hydrogen gas. Reliable information from the pressure sensor is needed to ensure that the system is working properly and to prevent critical problems.
Hydrogen is used both to fuel space shuttle rockets and in hydrogen powered vehicles. Hydrogen can be used to produce electricity or heat through hydrogen fuel cells. Hydrogen also helps to reduce carbon dioxide emissions when burned with oxygen to produce water. Hydrogen is regularly used in the chemical industry. Hydrogen can be used to make ammonia for fertiliser and also to make methanol for cars. Hydrogen is also used by the oil industry to reduce the viscosity of crude oil during transportation.
Hydrogen is used in the manufacture of steel, notably by the "basic" process. Hydrogen gas is also used in the processing of nickel metal to form Niadrohydroxide, a catalyst used to produce the high purity nickel required by the Mond process. Hydrogen is also commonly used in hydrogenation, for example to convert vegetable oils into margarine and to produce methanol, hydrocarbons and more complex chemicals.
