Now Representing Sensuron - Ultrafine Distributed and Continuous Strain & Temperature Sensing

AP Corp is pleased to announce its selection as Sensuron's New England and Upstate New York Authorized Representative.

ABOUT SENSURON
Starting as an informal partnership with NASA and a formal licensing agreement in 2011, Sensuron began developing off-the-shelf fiber optic sensing systems and then designing cutting-edge fiber optic sensing platforms that allowed companies to consolidate their testing and measurement solutions. Sensuron is now a leading global provider of distributed strain and temperature sensing platforms for applications across industries and is now expanding to liquid-level and 2D deflection.

Sensuron's fiber optic sensing technology enables engineers to perform structural testing, design optimization, structural health monitoring, thermal mapping, and shape sensing with an efficient, robust, and simple-to-use tool.

AP Corp is proud to be representing Sensuron in all of New England and Upstate New York. For more information call (508) 351-6200 or visit this web page.

Gas Turbine Monitoring with Kistler Pressure and Acceleration Sensors

AP Corporation is pleased to present Gas Turbine Monitoring with Kistler Pressure and Acceleration Sensors

Kistler high-temperature measuring systems allow measuring thermoacoustics phenomena in harsh environments with extreme temperatures up to 700°C.

• Safe and reliable operation of gas turbines thanks to combustion dynamics monitoring.
• Differential charge amplifier designed for high temperature sensors.
• High temperature acceleration sensors measuring vibrations.
• High temperature pressure sensors measuring pressure pulsations.
• Reliable monitoring with durable sensors in harsh environments and up to 700°C / 1300°F.
• Predict, monitor and analyze combustion dynamics.
• Complete differential, ground insulated measuring chains enable early detection of smallest pressure pulsations.

Features of Kistler measuring equipment for combustion dynamics monitoring:

• Resistant to high temperature (700°C / 1300°F)
• Ex certified and interference resistant (EMI, RF)
• PiezoStar sensing element - not pyroelectric and no popcorn effect

AP Corp Sensors and Instrument Line Card 2019 from AP Corp. - Sensors and Instrumentation

Three Types of Common Industrial Sensors: Inductive, Capacitive, and Photoelectric

Three common industrial sensors are inductive proximity sensors, capacitive proximity sensors, and photoelectric sensors.

Inductive sensors can detect a target from 0.5 millimeters to 40 millimeters. They only detect metallic targets and therefore use a magnetic field to detect presence when a ferrous metal enters the magnetic field.

Capacitive proximity sensors on the other hand can detect dielectric materials such as liquids plastic glass, wood and granulated substances as long as it has a dielectric constant of 1.2 or more. Their range is from three millimeters to 15 millimeters depending on the dielectric material to be detected.

Photoelectric sensors have the greatest detection range from one millimeter to 25 meters or more. They operate by the use of an emitter which transmits a beam of light to the receiver. They operate by detecting the presence, or absence, of a light beam sent from transmitter to receiver.

These are three very basic sensor technologies used in many common applications. The video above provides an elementary understanding of the operational differences.
