AST Releases New Sensor Booklet Featuring Capabilities in the Water Industry

Online, April 21, 2010 (Newswire.com) - The booklet focuses on four categories of applications; including water pumps, sub-sea and desalination equipment, filtration monitoring, and well and sewage level monitoring. The Water Pumps section covers the main factors to consider for water pressure measurement. The Sub-sea and Desalination page focuses on the media compatibility concerns and packaging of a sensor. Filtration monitoring is a simple explanation of monitoring a filter with a differential pressure sensor with an example of the calculation. Finally, the Well and Sewage Lift Station section covers how hydrostatic level sensors work with an overview and diagram.

The Water Pressure Capabilities booklet highlights specific AST products that work in each application, helping guide the reader to a solution.
