Innovative Sensor Technology (IST) AG - an EndressHauser Company applications
Measurement and control is an essential element in determining the effectiveness of products in the Process Control industry. A wide variety of applications are met in this industry by IST’s diverse family of temperature sensors. Additional process control applications are met by unique humidity and flow sensor products offered by IST.
The Heating Ventilation and Air-condition (HVAC) market in the Building Automation industry focuses on controlling atmospheric conditions to make them more suitable. Among the conditions controlled by these systems are temperature and humidity. aIST’s thin film platinum and nickel temperature sensors are ideal for heat meter monitoring and control applications in HVAC because of their high resolution and long term accuracy. Additionally, IST’s thin film capacitive humidity sensors are ideal for controlling the relative humidity of an environment due to their rapid response times and accuracy over time. Thermal mass flow sensors also have applications in the HVAC industry as an indicator of duct airflow
Test and measurement is an industry in which highly accurate and stable sensors are crucial. IST’s full line of temperature, humidity, and flow sensors has applications in this industry. Our sensors can be directly integrated into instruments including assemblies, probes, meters, and more.
The medical industry requires the accurate and consistent performance of its equipment. IST’s precise and reliable sensors meet the needs of these applications. Flow is perhaps the most widely used sensor in this industry, controlling medical devices where a gas or fluid is being supplied to a patient, or in cases of patient monitoring. Humidity sensors also have an application in the medical industry in products that control the air present or supplied to the patient.
With new innovations in the automotive industry, the need for accurate and robust measurement methods has become relevant. IST’s sensing solutions satisfy this need. Thin film platinum temperature sensors capable of measuring up to +1000°C provide precise measurement solutions for diesel engine applications. Additionally, thermal mass flow sensors are capable of monitoring vital fuel and engine systems in these harsh conditions. IST’s humidity sensors are also largely applicable in the control of cabin conditions.
Measurement and control is an essential element in the success of products in the consumer appliance industry. Precise temperature measurement in cooking equipment along with flow control in cleaning equipment are crucial to the proper functioning of different appliances. IST’s thin film platinum temperature sensors are ideal for the long term precise measurements required by many of these devices. They are also capable of measuring extremely high temperatures at which some appliances operate. IST’s flow sensors, with the ability to measure pressure differential and flow direction, are more than capable of meeting the needs of products in the appliance industry.
