Sensor housing subdues food chemicals

摘要

Gerlingen, Germany—Designing a special temperature sensor for the treatment and handling of biologically sensitive media proved a challenge for Endress+ Houser Conducta GmbH & Co. engineers. For one thing, the sensor housing for the company's new CLS 51 conductivity measuring cell had to have a biocompatible surface and resist corrosive media. They found that material in a glass-fiber-reinforced polymer with a balance of chemical, mechanical, and thermal properties.
