Understanding Quasistic Measurements and Signal Referencing Challenges with AC-coupled and IEPE Sensors.

High-temperature piezoelectric sensors are essential in harsh environments. They need a high-temperature charge-mode sensor, a remote charge amplifier, and a durable cable to capture vibration signals. As temperature increases, insulation resistance decreases. This requires careful selection of the charge amplifier and cable for accurate data.

Sensors designed for nuclear environments must reliably operate and provide dependable measurements throughout their lifecycle. These sensors endure high radiation, extreme temperatures, and material degradation. It’s crucial for nuclear plant operators, whether human or automated, to base decisions on accurate measurements of vibration and pressure that reflect real conditions. Safety protocols often hinge on precise measurements reaching specific thresholds, making accuracy vital for safe operations.

The foundation of modern development relies on establishing baselines through initial measurements, with sensors crucial for tracking progress. Selecting suitable sensing technology is complex due to EMI/RFI interference affecting electrical signals. While digital technologies have safeguards, analogue signals are vulnerable, particularly in high switching current environments like electric vehicles. This paper examines how different sensing technologies respond to EMI/RFI, noting that installation and cable length can influence these effects. It will also compare the performance of various vibration sensor technologies.

In many epitaxial processes, the deterioration and failure of the quartz sheath protecting thermocouples (TCs) dictate maintenance schedules and can lead to unscheduled maintenance. These premature TC failures cost valuable production time and impact the maintenance budget. To address this issue and extend the lifespan of TCs, Conax Technologies embarked on an 8-year project to develop an advanced TC sheath coating technology.

When purchasing a thermocouple as a component of temperature control in an industrial process, one must determine whether they will use a standard wire curve to interpret the sensor output or if the process requires device-specific data from the thermocouple manufacturer. This paper describes two different approaches that are available for obtaining device-specific thermocouple data.
