Our sensor technology has
been developed to support
some of the world’s mostrigorous, challenging andprecise applications.

TECHNOLOGYINNOVATION

Applications

Since it’s formation in 1972, Druck have successfully applied technologicalinnovation, expertise and a focus on customers’ applications to the diverseand demanding world of pressure measurement. We are one of the few sensor
manufacturers to make the silicon sensing element in-house at our own clean
room facilities. As a result, we can ensure the highest quality and performance indelivering world class, highly accurate pressure sensors. Our sensor technology
has been developed to support some of the most rigorous, challenging andprecise applications whilst providing accurate and reliable data.

Accuracy
For over 20 years, Druck sensors
have been trusted by the world’s
global aircraft manufacturers
to measure pressure in criticalon‑aircraft applications such as
landing gear, hydraulics, engine
control and fuel-management.
These sensors operate in demanding
environments, which see extreme
temperature, humidity and pressurechanges and enable the aircraft toperform efficiently and safely.
Reliability
Whether deep on the seabedin the Gulf of Mexico measuringhydrocarbon pressures andtemperatures flowing through thesubsea trees and manifolds; ormounted on surface production
equipment on an offshore-platformin the middle of the North Sea, it is inthese restrictive operating conditions
and tough environments that
Druck sensors continue to provide
reliable and trusted measurement
year after year.

06

Quality
Leading motorsport teams, including
those in Formula 1, Moto GP andIndycar, have used Druck’s pressure
sensors for many years due to theperformance and reliability which
our sensors provide. We are able
to provide sensors which meet thedemands of the size, weight andmaterial constraints required by theteams for a variety of applications
and fluids including fuels, oils, coolant
and hydraulic system pressures, indemanding environments with hightemperatures and vibration levels.
This same technology andexpertise goes into the products
we make for hundreds of otherapplications such as:+ Hydrology+ Meteorology+ Oil and gas+ Automotive test
+ Motorsport+ Aerospace+ Ground flight test
+ Industrial process+ Transportation+ Depth and level+ Marine+ Power generation+ Silicon processing

ACCURACYSTABILITY

Environmental monitoring

Environmental monitoring is the activity of monitoring
the quality of the natural environment. This includes
many applications such as waste water management,
drinking water and the forecasting of weather conditions.
Gathering reliable data is vital within these applications
and it is becoming increasingly important that these arecarefully monitored. The Druck team have developed
market leading pressure sensors highly suited forthese applications.
Following challenges in collecting and monitoringdata in shallow, moving water, the Druck team wereapproached by a major hydrology OEM customer todesign and develop a suitable solution. Having analysed
the situation in conjunction with our customer, we wereable to modify our 1830 sensor to fit the requirements ofthis low-pressure application. Titanium offers excellent
material compatibility and high stiffness which is optimalfor measurements at low pressure. By designing a cablewith a thick hard wearing outer sheath, we were able tooffer a longer service life time and multiple deployments,
reducing the cost of ownership for depth measurement
and flow calculation in this challenging environment.

08

As an example of another application, the aviationindustry need durable, high‑performance weather stations
at every airport. The requirements, commonly referred toas the AWOS specification, requires 2 or 3 sensors withineach system. If there is a difference of reading, an alarm
can be set. Traditional equipment can be expensive tomaintain because if one sensor drifts out of specification,
the whole unit needs to be sent back to the supplier to berecalibrated. However, using our DPS8100 TERPS, which
are more accurate and more stable than is required by
the specification, a system has been created where units
can be replaced on site without expensive calibrationequipment. Moreover excursions from the specified alarmlevels are increasingly unlikely due to the high stability of
TERPS. These result in a significant reduction in the cost ofownership for our customer.

COMMUNICATIONDATA

Oil and gas

In Oil and Gas there are a multitude of applications in
up, mid and downstream. Druck have a wide range ofexpertise and technology to support the wide variety ofchallenges faced by customers in these applications.
An example being that, fiscal transfer of gas requires
measurements not just of the volume of gas, but also thetemperature and the pressure. Such devices (generally
called correctors) require accurate measurementsof volume pressure and temperature. An error in thepressure reading is directly related to an error in thegas bill. The European Union have a set standard of
performance for gas correctors including a detailed
performance specification for the pressure sensor. The
Druck product range has been used in this application formany decades, with the most recent product designed forthis application being our DPS5000. The DPS5000 exceeds
the European Union requirements and carries certification
for where the area of use is designated a hazardous area.
Optimised for low power operations, the DPS5000 also
extends the battery life of the gas corrector and by offering
great accuracy over temperature and long term stability
reduces the need for expensive site calibration visits.

10

An alternative example where Druck solved achallenge faced by a customer was where a supplier of
instrumentation faced challenges when using sensors in
an area where drilling mud was present. The drilling mud
is highly corrosive and will destroy most standard cablematerial. The area also has explosive gases present andis designated a hazardous area. The Druck team wereapproached to tackle this mechanical and certification
challenge. A suitable mud resistant material was selected
and by working with a cable manufacture integrated
into a cable. This was then tested and finally certified. As
the success of this modification enabled our customer
to expand sales across the world, we were requested tosupport them with extending the certifications to coveruse in new regions and this has proven to be a mutually
successful project for ourselves and our customer.

CHALLENGERESPONSE

Automotive test

When it comes to data gathering in automotive
applications, the Druck team know the key areas toconsider and have developed sensor technology tosupport these challenges. With years of experience, weare readily able to assist you no matter how challenging
your need is as an OEM.
The Druck team were approached by a globallyrenowned car manufacturer who was experiencing
challenges in “on vehicle” testing due to the harshenvironmental conditions. With pressure changing
rapidly, the customer needed a sensor that was fast
responding and with high set up costs and no service
available during the testing, high reliability was essential
to avoid any loss of data. Our team conducted a fullanalysis of this customer challenge and modified oursilicon PMP317 sensor. The single crystal silicon element
and fully welded stainless-steel construction gave thecustomer the robustness, reliability and stability requiredby the application. The modified product was marked
and dedicated for this customer and was written into
their specifications with their part numbers for ease oforder placement and supply.

12

Many automotive companies have continuous programsof improving the performance of their engines. The engine
is put in a test cell where fuel and air can be controlled andchanged to see how the engine performs under different
conditions. Our DPS5000 CANBus series is used regularly inthis application. This product is built with a welded stainlesssteel package, potted electronics and uses a siliconsensing element which means it lasts for many years
and is robust. The sensors in engine test cells are used
repeatedly in order to provide a cycle and need to survive
high temperature and high vibration environments whilst
providing reliable data. Our DPS5000 CANBus series canbe configured to suit various needs including high gradeconnectors to ensure accurate readings and the excellent
long term stability eliminates the need to calibrate often.

INTEGRATEDMULTI-FUNCTIONAL

Aerospace

Our integrated, multi-functional aerospace teamhave hundreds of years of collective experience indelivering high quality designs to all areas of this market.
Our aerospace division has provided more than 300,000
pressure sensors in over 20 years. The Druck productrange has a wide footprint covering the majority of theworld’s most produced airframes, therefore we knowwhat matters when it comes to keeping your assets
flying safely and efficiently.
A major global aircraft producer was experiencing
challenges within their Environmental Control System,
which required close control of the balanced low
pressures within the system. As a result of this, theDruck team were approached to see whether a productcould be offered to satisfy these stringent requirements.
Following a full review of the technical requirements, theDruck team agreed to develop a bespoke product thatwould fulfil the customer’s needs. Based on our 3000
series platform, the product design, qualification and testplans were then developed and executed by our highly
skilled Aerospace Program team.
Following an in-service challenge, the Druck team
were approached by a major aerospace OEM toprovide a bespoke solution to address the effects of‘force fight’, associated with hydraulic rudder control.
This proved to be a challenging requirement, however,following close collaboration and several iterationsof a design concept, a proposal was accepted and aqualification program was initiated. This resulted in
a complex package that contained four sensors in asingle housing. The novel design was then successfully
tested and qualified prior to introduction on one of
the world’s most produced airframes.

monitoring, oil and gas, automotive test and aerospaceindustries, but can also meet the needs of a range of otherindustrial challenges. With hundreds of years of collective
experience and market-leading sensor technologies, theDruck team are readily available to provide solutions foryou to enhance the performance of your assets.
Following an in-service challenge, the Druck team wereapproached by a major OEM to provide a bespoke solution
to address and solve issues in flow meters used in clean
rooms. Highly reliable flow meters working in hard vacuum
are critical during the clean room process, as any failures
can jeopardize the product and can cost the clean room
operator thousands of dollars. At our Leicester facility wehave an ability to adapt our sensing elements to specificmeasuring conditions, whilst maintaining high stability andreliability. We were able to develop a solution based upon
our PDCR 1000 product to meet the exacting specificationsof the customer’s machines and maintain accuracy at thisparticularly low pressure.

Our multi-talented andexperienced engineers areavailable to provide advice
and solutions with you toenhance your business.

Modules capability overview for further details.

In a separate example, our sensors monitor the pressure
over a wide operating temperature which is vital to taking
accurate reading in a refrigerated marine environment.
The Druck team were approached by a customer toprovide a sensing solution that was highly accurate, robust
to an aggressive media containing hydrogen sulphide andcould interface using an existing digital protocol. Following
a full review of the technical requirements, the Druckteam designed and developed a digitally compensatedsolution using Hastelloy wetted parts and a bespoke
communication protocol. This has resulted in a sensor
solution for the client which maintained accuracy andstability in a tough environment for an extended period oftime without the need for recalibration.
