Nexisense Ship Systems Case: Pressure and Level Transmitter Applications

Intelligent Ship Monitoring and Pressure/Level Measurement

Ship operations involve multiple systems including bilges, fuel tanks, water tanks, hydraulic systems, diesel engines, and alarm systems. Pressure, level, and flow are key measurement parameters. Onboard sensors must provide high-precision measurement and maintain reliability under extreme long-term conditions, strong vibration, and seawater corrosion.

Nexisense ship pressure and level transmitters use stainless steel diaphragm piezoresistive pressure elements combined with dedicated signal processing circuits to convert pressure signals into standard current or voltage outputs. ASIC technology performs non-linearity and temperature compensation, ensuring high accuracy and long-term stability.

To meet the complex marine environment, Nexisense offers sealed welded pressure sensors with high protection ratings, resistant to salt spray and humidity. Optional tantalum or titanium diaphragms and titanium alloy housings are suitable for long-term seawater exposure.
