Today's world depends heavily on theproduction of ventilatorsand the safety of critical environments. However, said safety is not dependent on room pressure monitors alone. High accuracy industrial pressure sensors contribute to production efforts for ventilators.

When designing a new system or device, there are enough problems to solve without worrying about the reliability of pressure transducers. Choosing a sensor with a low total error band can make designing the system easier.

Challenging applications like off-highway andspecialty vehicles需要可靠的压力传感器，能够在潜在的极端环境和性能要求中生存，包括高超压条件，宽工作温度范围，以及宽湿度和潮湿情况下。Specialty vehiclescan include:

Many alternative fuels depend on precise measurements for gage, absolute, or compound pressure. Transducers in some of these applications endure potentially corrosive environments. To keep up with the demands of renewable energy applications, adaptable capacitive sensing technology can measure a variety of pressure types. Alternative fuel applications for the AXD and AXDH sensors are varied and include compression, storage and dispensing systems, hydrogen generators, and hydrogen fuel cell systems used to produce electricity.

Railways are essential for countries to function. These systems with massive machines can transport almost anything and require immense engines to successfully make their trips. Mechanical failures in locomotives can lead to costly delays and potentially dangerous and damaging situations. The control system helps prevent this issue by monitoring and measuring fluid levels to guarantee the engine and related mechanical systems can operate properly. Pressure transducers play a critical role in ensuring all systems operate efficiently and safely.

许多工业应用都依赖于压力传感器来高效、安全地操作和维护设备。如果压力传感器发生故障，可能会导致整个控制系统故障，导致设备无法操作或系统停机;根据系统类型的不同，可能会对设备和周围环境造成重大破坏。对于经历周期性压力峰值的系统，如果传感器选择过程考虑了超压弹性，通常可以防止由于压力传感器故障而造成的损坏。

Recently, Setra hosted a webinar presenting the Model AXD. The Model AXD™Pressure Sensor is the platform for Setra's industrial transducer future. It is the best performing low range and vacuum sensor in this price range on the market.

Advancements in technology have created a need for enhanced pressure sensing technology, the next generation of pressure transducers. To meet this new demand, we designed the ModelAXD™ Pressure Sensor, the updated and improved version of the Model209. The Model AXD™ Pressure Sensor is built leveraging the strength of the 209's variable capacitance sensor paired with a new electronics platform. With enhanced performance through digital signal conditioning and a rugged, laser-welded construction, the ModelAXD™ Pressure Sensor has the reliability and accuracy necessary for industrial and OEM applications.

Heavy-duty equipment for both indoor and outdoor applications typically requires measuring water or liquid pressure to some degree. This equipment endures harsh conditions and a wide range of temperatures which can lead to water freezing inside pressure transducers, particularly when equipment is idle. Common applications where this occurs are:

Demanding applications like off-highway vehicles and test/measurement require durable pressure transducers with overpressure capabilities. Without them, projects can come to a standstill if a single pressure transducer fails.
