Pressure Transducer IZMERKON DIR-21: a reliable solution for gasostatic presses

In technological cycles where the accuracy of high-pressure regulation determines the final result, the correct choice of control and measuring equipment becomes a decisive factor.

A specialized modification of the pressure transmitter IZMERKON DIR-21 is designed for high-precision monitoring and control of pressure in complex systems, and its targeted design is optimally adapted for integration into gasostatic presses (gasostats) – key equipment for implementing the hot isostatic pressing (HIP) technology.

HIP Technology: The Role of Accurate Pressure Measurements

Hot isostatic pressing is an advanced method used for densifying microstructures and modifying the operational characteristics of heterogeneous materials (metal alloys, ceramic compositions, composite systems). The process is based on the simultaneous application of significant temperatures (around 2000°C) and isostatic (omnidirectional) pressure reaching hundreds of megapascals. Pressure formation is carried out by an inert gas agent (in particular, argon), which serves as the working medium.

Under these extreme conditions, pressure measuring transducers face increased requirements: the equipment must guarantee consistently high metrological accuracy, long-term stability, and uninterrupted functionality in a corrosion-active gas environment under constant intense mechanical stress.

Special Version of IZMERKON DIR-21 for Gasostats

A specialized version of the IZMERKON DIR-21 transmitter is optimized to operate under similar conditions. The key operational parameter of the device – the measurable pressure range 0.1…25 MPa – fully complies with the technological regulations of gasostatic presses. This transmitter guarantees enhanced metrological accuracy – a basic error up to 0.1% FSO, resistance to thermal loads and corrosion effects, and also features structural protection against vibration interference and aggressive environments.

The pressure sensor is equipped with a piezoresistive sensor that converts pressure into an electrical signal. This allows integration into automated control systems, where it continuously monitors parameters and prevents accidents. In gasostats, the transmitter is installed directly in the pressing chamber or on the gas supply line, providing real-time control.

More about the principles of operation and selection of transmitters can be found in the sections pressure sensors and pressure transmitters.

Advantages and Applications

One of the main advantages of the sensor is its durability (long-term stability of more than 10 years of operation): the device withstands extreme operating conditions without loss of accuracy. This makes it indispensable in the production of high-strength components for aerospace, automotive, and medical industries.

Engineers at IZMERKON note that the special version for gasostats has a reinforced design resistant to gas environments, which extends service life and reduces maintenance costs. The use of the transmitter is not limited to HIP: it is also suitable for the oil and gas industry, chemical production, and laboratory research.

IZMERKON DIR-21 Pressure Transmitter is a reliable tool for precise measurements in harsh conditions. If you work with gasostatic presses, this device will help optimize processes and improve product quality.
