PCB Dynamic Pressure Sensors

Model 106C10 - 106C20 ICP® Slurry Pulsation Pressure Sensors

For Monitoring Paper Slurry Pulsations in Headbox and Piping Systems

The Models 106C10 and 106C20 are high-sensitivity, piezoelectric pressure sensors that have been specifically designed for measuring fast pressure transients, surges, spikes, and pulsations in paper slurry delivery systems.

The units install through check valves and adjust for flush mounting within the slurry flow. Except for overall length, the units are identical. Useful for both the headbox and other areas of paper making machinery, these sensors aid in root cause determination of pumping inconsistencies, which can lead to defects in the final product. In addition, system efficiencies can be improved, along with a reduction of excessive machinery wear and maintenance.

With a 300 mV/psi sensitivity, both the 106C10 and 106C20 can detect very minute pressure fluctuations, and since piezoelectric pressure sensors are AC coupled devices, any ambient, static pressure, or very slow pressure changes are ignored. These properties permit the units to monitor low-level dynamic pressures while being subjected to high static background pressure levels.
