Designed to offer longer term stability and withstand harsh environments, the hydrogen pressure sensors can be used in a variety of applications including gas turbines, hydrogen production electrolysis and hydrogen filling stations, the company said. Building on the popular UNIK5000 family and supremely accurate RPS/DPS8000 Series, Druck has launched two hydrogen pressure sensor ranges, from 700 mbar (10.2 psi) to 700 bar (10,000 psi).
“Hydrogen plays a key role in the transition to a more sustainable, lower emissions future” said Gordon Docherty
Long term exposure to hydrogen gas degrades the performance of a pressure sensor, specifically through hydrogen permeation and embrittlement of the isolation diaphragm, meaning the construction of a hydrogen sensor is key to maintaining accuracy and stability.
