Pressure sensors are frequently used, and it's crucial to protect them during use. Although they are protected by stainless steel, pressure sensors are still easily damaged, especially by improper use, which can lead to losses.
First, never use the sensor beyond its rated pressure range. Applying pressure exceeding the rated pressure may cause breakage. Second, avoid using the sensor in environments with flammable or explosive gases. Third, avoid short circuits in the power supply and load. Do not exceed the operating voltage range. Applying voltage exceeding the operating voltage range may cause cracking or burnout. Avoid short circuits in the load, as this may also cause cracking or burnout. A less common but still significant issue is incorrect wiring. Avoid incorrect wiring, such as incorrect power supply polarity, as this may cause cracking or burnout.
It's essential to learn how to protect pressure sensors during use, otherwise, they are easily damaged, leading to production losses. However, if operated correctly according to the manufacturer's instructions and avoiding the above-mentioned problems, pressure sensors can operate for a long time. Some pressure sensors can even last for several years or more than a decade. The key is to learn how to protect them.
