Melt Pressure Sensor Calibration
No matter how high-quality a melt pressure sensor is, deviations in measurement accuracy can occur over time. Therefore, melt pressure sensors must be calibrated regularly.
Why is Calibration Necessary?
Zero drift, a deviation from the zero point, can occur in sensors over time. This leads to incorrect values being sent to the control system. As a result:
Product dimensions are distorted,
Energy consumption increases,
The production line becomes unsafe.
Calibration Steps
Depressurize the line.
Apply reference pressure.
Compare with digital displays.
Make offset correction via software.
The Importance of Regular Maintenance
Melt pressure sensors have a long lifespan not only with calibration but also with regular maintenance. Regular cleaning of diaphragm tips, checking of cable connections, and filter checks should be performed.
A pressure sensor that is not properly calibrated can lead to major errors in production. MeltSensor's high-quality melt pressure sensors provide years of trouble-free service with regular maintenance and calibration.
