M5 size pressure sensor is PiezoSmart
The new Type 6052C high temperature pressure sensor from Kistler combines small, M5 size with rugged construction making it ideal for use on gasoline or diesel multi-valve engines
It is used for automated setting of the parameters of measuring chains (plug and measure).
Installed in PiezoSmart sensors is a transducer electronic data sheet (TEDS), with sensor and calibration information as well as user data.
It offers functions that guarantee comprehensive quality assurance of data.
In Spring 2004 the industry standard (IEEE 1451.4) on which PiezoSmart is based was codified in Rev.
3.0 making IEEE 1451.4 conditionally approved by the IEEE, so that it can be used as a fully fledged standard.
This is a milestone in technical standardisation and harmonisation.
About 40 companies have either been involved in the creation of this standard or intend to implement it in their products.
It offers the user involved in routine measurement with sensors, standardisation across the range of brands and products.
Kistler was one of the initiators of this standard and has made an important contribution over past years.
PiezoSmart from Kistler therefore represents a worldwide standard and demonstrates the viability of the innovative concept of automatic sensor identification.
