Take action and become a company that practices Lean Six Sigma by:

• Having repetition/replication throughout different supply chains
• Being cross-functional
• Using technology where ever possible
• Encouraging positive reinforcement

One obstacle that's in the way of adopting this lean system is a lack of trust. 

Setra's educational webinars and videos on demand provide helpful information on applications, industry best practices and more. These webinars and videos are just a few of Setra's readily available resources for technical info.

Usage of sensors in the Test & Measurement market are on the rise. According to analysis from Frost & Sullivan the market will increase by more than 28% by the year 2020. Setra Systems, Inc. is poised to meet this demand with our line of Highly Accurate and High Performing product lines. Our AccuSense platform provides industry leading overpressure capability, linearity, and performance over a wide temperature range.

Setra's NEW Industrial Catalog

The new 2014 Industrial Product Catalog is a comprehensive guide that contains the technical data sheets for products commonly used in Industrial applications.

• Section 1.1: General Purpose OEM
• Section 2.1: Test & Measurement
• Section 3.1: Sanitary Pressure
• Section 4.1: Accelerometer
• Section 5.1: Barometric Pressure
• Section 6.1: Very Low Differential Pressure
• Section 7.1: Power Monitoring

The sensing and measurement of physical quantities through small changes in electrical capacitance is scarcely a new concept. The natural benefits of this approach were recognized for many years. But it was not until Setra engineers introduced new materials, new designs, and innovative, dedicated circuitry that the techniques full potential was realized in the practical, real world of pressure measurement.

Here at Setra we realize that each customer is unique and every application has different requirements that necessitate different features in a pressure sensor. We have the best interests of the customer in mind and realize we may not have the best sensor for a particular situation.

231RS Wet-to-Wet, Differential, Multi-Configurable Pressure Transducer with Armored Jacket

The Model 231RS wet-to-wet differential pressure transducer with remote sensors reduces labor, materials, and time. The differential pressure sensors are installed directly into the pipe and electrical connection is made between the remote sensors and the Model 231RS via cables or conduit, reducing labor cost by one-third and the cost of copper to connect the pressure transducer to the pipe.

Setra Model 3550 - Compact Low Pressure OEM Pressure Transducers

The 3550 is perfect for OEMs that need consistent high levels of performance, reliability and stability because of the units small package size with all 316L stainless steel wetted parts at an unbeatable price performance ratio. A wide choice of electrical outputs as well as both electrical and pressure connections means the unit is suitable for most applications without modifications. 

Shock & vibration are two potential mechanical problems for pressure transducers.

Shock is a sudden, unexpected impact that transmits energy to a device in a relatively short time interval. For a pressure transducer, that energy passes through the stainless steel up through the housing. Shock may originate from rough transportation and handling, such as by trucks, forklifts and conveyors. Alternately, shock can be caused simply by dropping the transducer on the shop floor or by an assembler slamming a cabinet door adjacent to it. A transducer may not be damaged by a single shock, but can experience fatigue failure with numerous low-level shocks over the course of its life.

Excessively high temperatures are a common source of pressure transducer difficulties.

Like most other electronic equipment, pressure transducers are effected by temperature, shock and vibrations. They consist of numerous components that only function within specified temperature ranges. Transducers exposed to temperatures exceeding those ranges during the assembly process can be adversely affected.
