DatasheetDruck, a Baker Hughes business, has been developing and delivering pressure measurement solutions to customers for more than 40 Years, across many applications in Aerospace, Oil & Gas, Industrial, Metrological Laboratories and many others. One of Druck’s main areas of technical expertise is Pressure Controllers. These are used in many different industrial applications and by metrological laboratories as calibration standards around the world. Druck’s PACE pressure controllers are widely recognised as the world’s fastest, with the ability to fill and control volumes of 300cc in under 5 seconds.
As Druck’s proprietary sensing technology known as TERPS (Trench Etched Resonant Pressure Sensor) has evolved, Druck has planned the expansion of the PACE platform, in particular increasing the pressure range of the PACE control modules by adding to the already successful CM3 high accuracy pressure controller modules. This paper focuses on the introduction to the market of new pressure controller modules in the CM3 range and what their performance will mean for Druck’s customers. Druck is expanding its PACE CM3 control modules from the already successful 2 bar and 3.5 bar absolute products to include new pressure ranges. Druck has recently released new absolute pressure controller ranges of 8, 11, 21, 36 and 71 bar and the associated pseudo gauge controller ranges 7, 10, 20, 35 and 70 bar. Druck will continue the development of future pressure ranges, with up to 211 bar absolute pressure planned for release during 2021.
PACE CM3 will utilise Druck’s established TERPS® (Trench Etched Resonant Pressure Sensor) technology at its core, which delivers unprecedented metrological characteristics and resultant levels of performance for PACE controllers. This paper will present the main attributes of PACE CM3 enabled pressure controllers and resultant performance, namely:
- TERPS® technology
- Accuracy and its factors
- Long Term Stability
- Pressure controlling abilities
- PACE’s modular construction using control modules such as PACE CM3
- Automated calibration and data integration using Druck’s 4Sight2 software
- Customer support and service
Druck’s philosophy is to provide customers with solutions aligned to their needs, where specifications meet customers’ requirements and to provide openness and transparency concerning the company’s instruments’ capabilities.
Features
Accurate, robus, and stable
Due to the inclusion of Druck established TERPS® (Trench Etched Resonant Pressure Sensor) technology at its core, CM3 delivers unprecedented metrological characteristics and resultant levels of performance for our controllers.
TERPS® is a resonant silicon pressure sensor technology platform that combines accuracy, stability, reliability, and strength unmatched by comparable pressure sensors.
TERPS® reduces the amount of time needed to calibrate a sensor, while a robust construction with hard media isolation protects data quality and laboratory-level accuracy–even in the toughest environments.
Explained How to perform a calibration
In this 3-minute explainer, Prajyot Ranbhise, Applications Engineer at Druck, demonstrates how the 4Sight2 Calibration Management software, when integrated with our PACE pressure controllers or temperature calibrators, can automate and improve your calibration process.
