Pewatron and IS-Line are combining their activities through the Swiss Angst+Pfister Group, making them even more powerful partners in the sensor technology and power electronics market.

The Angst+Pfister Group and Christoph Kleye as sole owner and general manager of IS-LINE GmbH have entered into an agreement to sell all shares to the Angst+Pfister Group. Christoph Kleye will continue to lead the company as general manager of IS-LINE.  Pewatron AG has been part of the Angst+Pfister Group for the past nine years and already has a wide range of high-quality products in the sensor...

Patented MEMS technology combined with state-of-the-art electronics

Natural gas (methane) is widely used as a source of energy for heating, cooking and electricity generation, and is considered also as a fuel for vehicles. Natural gas is also very important for the manufacture of plastics, rubbers and other organic chemical products. The natural gas worldwide consumption is increasing and the quality of the gas is important for the different processes (for...

Range of adjustment between 1 and 100 bar

Pressure sensors and pressure switches with open flush diaphragms suitable for use with highly viscous media such as refrigerants, plastics, paper pulp, bitumen, sewage, paint and adhesives are an important part of the large Pewatron portfolio within pressure sensing and pressure switching. These high viscosity fluid pressure sensors/switches can be cleaned if there is a build up of residue around...

Range of adjustment between 40 and 1000 mbar

Differential pressure sensors and pressure switches with flush diaphragms suitable for use with gaseous and liquid media such as refrigerants, water, steam, liquid food and sewage are also an important part of the large Pewatron portfolio within pressure sensing and pressure switching. Common for these differential pressure sensors/switches in the ability to measure small changes in pressure in a...

from mbar up to more than 100 bar

The new 80A series from Pewatron is compact and suitable for most media thanks to an oil-filled measuring cell. The switching point and hysteresis of the electronic pressure switch can be defined by the customer and ranges from a few mbar to more than 100 bar. A number of threads are available for the process connection. This also applies for the electrical interface: various connectors or a cable...

Drying and de-oxidation processes at temperatures up to 300°C

Amperometric, zirconia based oxygen sensors have many advantages over amperometric, liquid based electrochemical oxygen sensors. Long operational lifetime & signal stability of the zirconia oxygen sensors are some of the advantages, when the two types of sensors are benchmarked against each other, but also the ability of the zirconia sensor to measure oxygen concentrations in high temperatures up...

New opportunities opening up in oxygen control applications

Oxygen controlled atmosphere (CA) applications in some cases rely on a long, stable operational lifetime of the oxygen sensing module and in some cases on a sufficiently high signal resolution in a wide range of oxygen concentrations. The FCX-U series of amperometric, zirconia oxygen sensors combines both – stable long lifetimes >> 3 years and high signal resolution < 10-200 ppm are generally...

Adjustment of the measurement range on-the-fly

Zirconia based potentiometric oxygen sensors are known for their large dynamic range and very high resolution. They are by far the best option for in-line gas sensing of oxygen concentrations in a very wide range of concentrations and for many different applications. The applications range from gas mixing in chemical plants to spot check measurements in food packages. For nitrogen and oxygen...
