The Key Points of the Installation of Pressure Sensors

When we install the pressure sensors UPB2, we need to pay attention to the following tips:

**Check the Correct Installation Method

Usually, the damage of the high temperature pressure sensor UPB8 and melt pressure sensor UMPB  is caused by the improper installation position. If the sensor is forcibly installed in an excessively small hole or an irregular hole, the vibration film of the sensor may be damaged by the impact. Choosing the right tool to machine the mounting hole is beneficial to control the size of the mounting hole. In addition, the proper mounting torque is good for forming a good seal, but if the installation torque is too high, it will easily cause the high temperature melt pressure sensor to slip off. In order to prevent this, we usually apply a release compound to the threaded portion of the sensor prior to installation.

(1) Verify the frequency response of the pressure sensor UPB4 under normal atmospheric pressure and standard temperature conditions with appropriate instrumentation.

(2) Verify the correctness of the pressure sensor's UPB2S code and the corresponding frequency response signal.

**Check the Size of the Mounting 

If the size of the mounting hole is not suitable, the threaded portion of the high-temperature melt pressure sensor is easily worn during the installation process, which not only affects the sealing performance of the device, but also prevents the sensor from fully functioning and may even cause a safety hazard. . Only the proper mounting holes can avoid the wear of the threads. It is usually possible to check the mounting holes with a mounting hole gauge to make the appropriate adjustments.
