These innovative pressure sensors measure the pressure or the differential pressure on normal hoses from the outside. They are therefore above all suited for sterile applications. No components need to be fitted in the hose, the system is completely sterilised and the hose is simply placed into the sensor after sterilisation. The innovative measuring principle is legally protected.
The sensor can in particular be used for pressure measurement and filter monitoring in biotechnical, sterile systems.
Due to the measuring principle the specification is greatly dependent on the hose characteristics (diameter, wall thickness, material). The values given below must therefore only be regarded as being approximate. Major deviations may occur In particular for thin hoses and large wall thicknesses. In practice, significantly better specifications will generally be achieved with careful calibration for hose diameters from 10 mm.
