SmartCap 850 GT
Unprecedented capabilities in the world’s harshest environments
Work Hotter and Smarter
Pressure Sensing to 850°C
The SmartCap 850 GT is a capacitive sensor for simultaneously measuring pressure and ultra-high temperatures for extremely demanding applications such as energy generation and propulsion systems. It provides static pressure at high data rates and analyzes high-frequency pressure/acoustic signals in the compressor to output real-time metrics that can be indicative of compressor and combustor health and performance (blade passing frequency, stall onset, etc.). The sensor is engineered to survive and perform in extreme high temperature, oxidative and corrosive environments.
Harsh Environment
Including up to 850°C and corrosive environments
High Bandwidth
Visibility into high-frequency pressure phenomena up to 39 kHz
Smart
Onboard processing for predictive analysis or other real-time analytics (requires programming) for active process control.
