Throughout the entire HVAC field, there are a variety of applications that use differential pressure transducers. With rugged stainless-steel housing, an isolated electrode, and a stainless-steel diaphragm, Setra’s sensors can be used in several of these applications.

We recently interviewed one of our sales managers about the Setra Lite. He answered some of the most common questions around this innovate product.

Room pressure readings are useful and often necessary in a range of spaces. However, two pressure transducers in the same space might not always present the same reading. A variety of circumstances can have an impact on the reading of a pressure sensor.

Inhaling airborne particles can put both critical patients and healthcare staff at risk for detrimental health issues. Controlling these particles is necessary for protecting both staff and occupants of nearby rooms from exposure to infectious particles. To maintain safety in a hospital, it is crucial to monitor both differential pressure and particle counts in anterooms.

Hot-wire anemometers are widely used throughout hospitals. Although their initial accuracy remains undisputed, a hot-wire anemometer's accuracy is not stable over time. Hot-wire anemometers must be cleaned at regular intervals to remain an accurate and effective solution for monitoring room pressure. Without regular cleaning and calibration, the accuracy of a hot-wire anemometer decreases significantly over time.

Setra’s latest innovation and addition to our extensive line of industrial pressure transducers is the Model AXD™ pressure sensor. The Model AXD is Setra’s most versatile pressure transducer yet. The Model AXD is for high performance applications where reliability and versatility are key, all at an affordable price.
