VEGA expands into Sweden and Denmark

Two new subsidiaries start operations in Scandinavia

08-Mar-2024 - The demand for innovative measurement technology for industry is also increasing in Scandinavia. With the new subsidiaries in Denmark and Sweden, which will open in spring 2024, VEGA is actively responding to this development and moving even closer to customers with its modern leveland pressure ...

Sensing pressure using paper

“The future applications of this device are limited only by our imagination”

22-Sep-2022 - Several industrial, automotive, and healthcare applications rely on accurate and precise measurement of pressure.Flexible and wearable pressuresensors are typically fabricated using petroleum-based polymers. The solid waste generated from using such non-biodegradable plastics is harmful for the ...

Silicon carbide pressure sensors working at 600°C could make air travel easier on the environment

Built to take the heat

11-Mar-2022 - While conventional sensors reach breaking point at around 300°C, researchers at Fraunhofer IZM are creating a sensor that works reliably at twice that temperature. The secret of the heat-loving sensors: Silicon carbide, etched with exceptional precision. Their ability to monitor pressure even in ...

New primary method for the measurement of pressure based on electrical measurements carried out on helium gas

04-Dec-2019 - Scientists from the Physikalisch-Technische Bundesanstalt (PTB) have implemented a novel pressure measurement method, quasi as a byproduct of the work on the "new" kelvin. In addition to being new, this procedure is a primary method, i.e. it only depends on natural constants. As an independent ...

Scientists develop highly sensitive molecular optical pressure sensor

Molecular ruby for use in materials sciences or catalysis

09-Jul-2018 - Chemists at Johannes Gutenberg University Mainz (JGU) and at the Université de Montréal in Canada have developed a molecular system capable of very precise optical pressure measurements. The gemstone ruby served as the source of inspiration. However, the system developed by the team headed by ...
