Differential pressure/pressure transmitters are the main field sensors that measure pressure in order to determine the flow rate and level of liquids in tanks.
They are used by the petroleum, petrochemical, chemical, steel, and other industries in processes that involve the handling of liquids, vapours, and gases.
The global market is worth 200 billion yen, with 2 million units, making this the largest market for field sensors.
In this market segment, Yokogawa has the biggest share in Asia.
The EJA Series was released in 1994 and is valued for its high accuracy, stability and reliability, which is achieved with a unique silicon resonant sensor, that uses MEMS technology.
This core product has helped Yokogawa rapidly expand its share in this field.
The establishment of EJA production in Singapore underlines the Yokogawa on-going commitment to providing customer centric solutions based on leading edge technology.
