Flush diaphragm pressure sensors with millivolt output signals are designed to measure the pressure of high-viscosity liquids, slurries, and pastes, where a standard pressure connection would become clogged or blocked. They are also ideal for applications where the internal volume of the pressure connection needs to be minimized, such as in hygienic or sanitary processes. These sensors feature a diaphragm that is flush with the mounting surface, which allows for easy cleaning and prevents material buildup. The millivolt output signal is a low-level signal that can be amplified and processed by a variety of industrial instrumentation.

Flush diaphragm pressure sensors with millivolt output signals are an essential tool for measuring the pressure of high-viscosity fluids in a variety of industrial and research applications. These sensors are designed to overcome the challenges posed by fluids that can clog or block traditional pressure connections. The flush diaphragm design ensures that there are no cavities or dead spaces where material can accumulate, making them ideal for use with viscous liquids, pastes, slurries, and other challenging media.
Key Features
- Flush Diaphragm: The flush diaphragm design eliminates internal cavities and crevices, preventing the buildup of process material that could otherwise clog or obstruct the pressure sensor. This is particularly important in applications involving high-viscosity fluids, such as polymers, resins, and food products.
- Millivolt Output: The millivolt output signal is a low-level analog signal that is proportional to the applied pressure. This signal can be easily amplified and processed by a wide range of industrial instrumentation, such as PLC’s, DCS’s, and data acquisition systems.
- Wide Range of Applications: These sensors are used in a variety of industries, including oil and gas, chemical processing, food and beverage, pharmaceuticals, and water treatment. They are also commonly used in research and development laboratories.
Applications
- Paints and Coatings: Monitoring and controlling the pressure of paints and coatings during application processes, such as spraying or roll coating, is essential for achieving uniform thickness and preventing defects. Flush diaphragm pressure sensors ensure accurate pressure measurement even with highly viscous paints or coatings, contributing to consistent product quality.
- Adhesives and Sealants: In the automotive and aerospace industries, precise dispensing of adhesives and sealants is crucial for structural integrity and safety. Flush diaphragm pressure sensors can accurately monitor the pressure of these viscous materials during application, ensuring proper bonding and sealing.
- Cosmetics and Personal Care Products: The production of cosmetics and personal care products often involves handling viscous fluids like lotions, creams, and gels. Flush diaphragm pressure sensors can monitor the pressure of these materials during filling and packaging processes, ensuring accurate dispensing and preventing product waste.
- Pulp and Paper Industry: The pulp and paper industry utilizes various viscous fluids, such as pulp slurries and paper coatings. Flush diaphragm pressure sensors can monitor the pressure of these fluids during different stages of paper production, ensuring smooth and efficient operation.
- Wastewater Treatment: Wastewater treatment often involves handling viscous sludge and slurries. Flush diaphragm pressure sensors can monitor the pressure of these materials during pumping and processing, ensuring proper flow and preventing equipment damage.
