AST H2 - Pressure Transmitter for hydrogen applications
Hydrogen will play a steadily increasing role among renewable energies. However, the processing and handling of this fuel also presents us with new challenges. With the AST2000 and AST4000, AMSYS offers two variants of a pressure transducer specially certified for applications with hydrogen. With the EC79 certificate, these pressure sensors are suitable for use in fuel cells, hydrogen storage tanks and filling stations. The sensors are made from a single piece of stainless steel without oil filling and welded seams to prevent inclusions and leaks from the outset.With 4 ... 20 mA current and two different voltage outputs (1 ... 5 V / 0.5 ... 4.5 V ratiometric), the pressure transducers are versatile and can be used in both stationary and mobile applications. They measure relative pressures between 0 and 448 bar with an accuracy of +/-0.25%.
The IP66-protected transmitters are suitable for a wide temperature range of -0 ... 85°C, shock-resistant in accordance with EN60067 and vibration-resistant in accordance with EN60068. EMC compatibility has been confirmed by measurements in accordance with EN61000. However, its greatest advantage is its conformity with EU Regulation EC79 for use in hydrogen-powered vehicles.
For this purpose, the pressure diaphragm, including the threaded mount, is precision machined from a single piece of AISI 316L stainless steel. With a burst pressure of over 2200 bar, this design eliminates the need for weld seams, which always represent a potential weak point and a possible leak for the very small H2 molecules. As there is no pressure equalization via an oil-filled cavity as with many other precision transmitters with stainless steel diaphragms, no hydrogen can diffuse into this unventilated cavity.
For industrial applications, AMSYS offers the AST2000 (former American Sensor Technology, now TE Connectivity), a comparable pressure transmitter also made of AISI 316L for a variety of pressure ranges between -1 ... 2 bar and 0 ... 700 bar with several output signals and electrical connections.
As a distributor for sensor technology, AMSYS is one of the specialists in pressure measurement technology on the German-speaking market for TE Connectivity sensors. At this year's electronica fair in Munich from November, 12-15., AMSYS GmbH & Co. KG will show its new products at booth 514 in hall B3.

Pressure sensor AMS 5935 - the power saver in the low-pressure range
The monitoring of everyday wearables, sports and mobile medical equipment is becoming increasingly widespread. The sensors and components in these often battery-powered devices have a high energy requirement which necessitates frequent battery recharging. One bright spot in this field is the new next-generation AMS 5935 low-power pressure sensor which can accurately measure even extremely low pressures in the +/-125 pascal range.
AMSYS (https://www.amsys-sensor.com) has now introduced sustainable sensors to its portfolio…
ATEX-certified wireless pres-sure transmitter M5601 for up to 1,000 bar
With the wireless M5601 absolute and gage pressure sensor with Bluetooth communication practically all monitoring processes for pressures of up to 1,000 bar can be reliably remotely controlled. What's special about this sensor is its explosion-proof ATEX and CSA HazLoc (IECEx) certification that enables it to be used in hazardous environments.

Pressure measurement via PLC: AMS 2710 pressure sensor module for direct connect …
AMSYS GmbH & Co. KG, Mainz, January 2022 - For pressure measurement in devices with integrated SPS/PLC or other modular control, traditional encapsulated transmitters are often too expensive and too large. OEM sensors for soldering are inexpensive, but in addition to their own circuit board, they require various electronic components for adjusting the input and output voltage levels and protection against polarity reversal and short-circuiting. Small, inexpensive pressure sensor…
