KMM Precision Measuring<\/a><\/strong>‘s high precision displacement sensors are for extreme environments such as power generation, including nuclear and aerospace propulsion, rocket engine turbo pumps, materials research and development, with operating temperatures from -320\u00b0F to +1000\u00b0F (+1200\u00b0F short term) at pressures up to 5000psi.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Originally designed for NASA and the nuclear power industry, these sensors provide non contacting measurement of conductive surface motion with unsurpassed accuracy and reliability under the most hostile operating conditions. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

KMM’s sensors are made with hermetically sealed, laser-welded Inconel housings and use metal jacketed, mineral-insulated cable to stand up to high temperature, high pressure, vibration and environmental contaminants. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Three displacement measuring systems are available, all able to operate at high temperatures. KD-1925 withstands pressures up to 5000 psi; and KD-1950 and KD-1975 withstands pressure up to 3500 psi.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The sensors use the versatile KDM-8206 signal conditioning electronics. Single channel systems are available in the NEMA-enclosures or bench-top\/ rack-mountable Eurocards. The NEMA enclosure houses an internal power supply, digital panel meter and window kit. Up to twelve measuring channels are available in the rack-mountable KDM-8206.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
