Charge Accelerometer targets gas turbine applications.

Press Release Summary:




Equipped with UHT-12™ sensing element, Model 357A100 Differential Charge Accelerometer is suited for use in commissioning of nuclear power plants, condition monitoring of power generation and aviation gas turbines, and machinery protection in very high temperature environments. UHT-12™ crystal technology features sensitivity that remains consistent over wide temperature change, absence of pyroelectric noise spikes up to 900°F, and no depletion of oxygen at high temperatures.



Original Press Release:



"Very High Temperature Charge Accelerometer with UHT-12(TM) Element



Designed for Gas Turbine Applications and Other 900 °F (482 °C) Environments



DEPEW, NY - IMI Sensors, manufacturer of industrial  vibration monitoring instrumentation, announced the release of  Model 357A100, a very high temperature differential charge accelerometer with a UHT-12™ sensing element.  This accelerometer is for use in the commissioning of nuclear power plants, condition monitoring of power generation and aviation gas turbines and machinery protection in very high temperature environments.



The new UHT-12™ crystal technology features:

Absence of pyroelectric noise spikes up to 900 °F (482 °C).

Sensitivity that remains more consistent over a wide temperature change.

Shear mode crystals isolated from base strain and transverse measurement errors.

No depletion of oxygen at high temperatures, eliminating the need for a vent or window in the housing.



IMI offers various differential charge amplifiers to support the launch of Model 357A100, including Models 421A3X, EX682A40 and 422M182.
