Data Acquisition (DAQ)
Pressure Data Loggers
The importance of pressure monitoring is it helps industries reduce costs and increase their outputs, thereby increasing profitability. Pressure data loggers are the best tools for collecting data over time in atmospheric lab conditions. They help with pressure levels in pipework, operating conditions in autoclaves, and monitoring pressure levels from data collected over time, which is then used to monitor the performance of devices.
One of the main places where they are used is in environmental monitoring. KEYENCE Data Logger NR-X is a perfect example. This DAQ offers all users quick and easy selection, transportation, wiring, configuration, and data output. After completing measurements, data must be checked, analyzed, and compiled for reports. Using the NR-X Series can significantly reduce the time and effort spent on those tasks.
Why Choose Pressure Data Loggers for Your Monitoring Needs?
You need to have a pressure data logger for a successful monitoring process. But why do you need to choose them for your monitoring needs?
- Real-time monitoring and data collection: You need pressure loggers because they allow you to capture real data and measurements. When proper data is collected, monitoring how a piece of machinery performs or predicting how it may perform becomes easy. Their data storage capacity is accurate and helps narrow down a problem or potential one with the data they store.
- Factual decision-making: Manual error risk is obliterated since they are digitally recorded. Subsequently, you can make data-driven decisions based on the facts or data stored in the loggers database.
- Quality assurance and improved process control: The quality of your machines will improve using data loggers because they will detect deviations from the normal pressure levels, so you can take preventive measures to avoid downtime of your equipment.
- Cost-effective and reliable: Traditionally, checking or predicting machines was done by hiring a team of engineers to come and feel the vibration or even try to dismantle the equipment for maintenance before they could detect the potential risk. Now, with data loggers, the cost of hiring every single time is eliminated. Plus, you can always rely on data. Data is reliable, and the pressure data logger is a very reliable tool that becomes very cost-effective over time.
- Adaptability: They can be applied to various industries, including manufacturing and research.
Explore the Features and Benefits of Pressure Loggers
There are several features to look out for in data loggers, including custom features for specific purposes:
- Pressure measurement range: This is usually measured in units such as psi, kPa, mmHg, and so on, but the range depends on the type of pressure to be measured and the environment. The best devices can take multiple measurements, like the KEYENCE data logger NR-X. It features various measurements from a single device, including temperature, voltage, current, strain, acceleration, pulse, and signal.
- Pressure sensors: This is the part of the pressure logger responsible for detecting, monitoring, reading, and displaying the changes in the applied pressure being measured from the contained volume of liquid or gas. There are several types of pressure sensors: piezoresistive, capacity, and strain gauge.
- Another crucial feature is real-time monitoring: Ensuring the pressure logger has this accurate real time readings is crucial. Measurements are used to check, analyze, and report data. This makes faster measurements much more helpful. To increase the speed of measurements, measurement units must be comfortable to use. The NR-X Series software makes it easy to configure settings without a manual or prior knowledge about operation.
- Long battery life: To provide the device's longevity and less risk of losing data, especially if needed in a harsh working environment.
- High storage: A pressure logger is only as good as its capacity. Data stored over time is read, analyzed, and used to enhance the monitoring process. Hence, the device to be selected has a high storage capacity to retain all the essential data without buying additional storage.
- Temperature measurements: For good performance evaluation during air conditioner development, it is necessary to check the room temperature distribution. The KEYENCE NR Series of DAQs can obtain detailed temperature distribution data thanks to multi-channel data collection from up to 576 channels.
- Power supply: Some data loggers can be powered by an external power supply while others cannot, so you need to decide based on your need and power supply location.
- They are compact: KEYENCE data loggers are lightweight and simple to set up and use for easy measurements in whatever industry they apply.
- Complete synchronization of various data: With eight high-accuracy measurement units available to meet multiple evaluation and analysis requirements, measurement is possible for different data types, including voltage, temperature, strain, acceleration, pulses, and CAN—all completely synchronized.
- High compatibility: This includes PCs and software for simplified data.
Pressure Gauge Data Loggers: Market Trends and Innovations
The pressure gauge data loggers measure pressure and have features like adjustable sample rates, allowing measurements to be done from once per second to once per hour. They also allow for multiple inputs at a time, such as our newly updated data logger, the NR-X.
We have pressure data loggers for various pressure measurements:
- Temperature measurement: If you need to improve and evaluate the performance of your air conditioner, for example, it is necessary first to check the room temperature. The KEYENCE NR Series of DAQ systems can obtain detailed temperature distribution data thanks to multi-channel data collection from up to 576 channels. It is a remote unit developed to reduce the thermocouple wires required to evaluate, reducing effort and being cost-effective for you.
- Strain measurement: Data loggers for strain measurement are particularly essential in automotive clutches or vehicle testing.
- The NR-500 Series: Unlike the conventional data loggers, the DAQ NR-500 Series is adaptable to different software and PCs. The NR-500 Series is a multi-input data logger that can be connected directly to a PC. This ultra-compact, lightweight device is easy to use at just 20.5 mm 0.81″ wide and weighs 110 g 3.88 oz. Both the smallest and lightest in its class, the NR-500 Series is highly portable and can be installed even with limited space.
- Acceleration measurements: During transportation, in air or space, the vehicle or plane must be tested thoroughly for vibrations. This can only be done accurately with a proper data logger like one of the NR-Series designed to accurately predict various circumstances in a truck, ship, airplane, train, etc.
