Design engineers developing commercial and military aircraft, space, marine and ground vehicles will find the new 2008 Applications Guide from FCI Aerospace provides detailed application and specification information on its flow, level, temperature and pressure instruments.
FCI sensor applications include environmental cooling systems, engine and fuel controls, gearbox and avionics cooling, electrical generators, auxiliary power units and more.
Flow. FCI’s flow sensors and switches have an unmatched record of performance and reliability in tough applications. Typical uses are air flow switches and transmitters, coolant and hydraulic fluid switches and transmitters, and fuel flow switches and transmitters.
Liquid Level. FCI’s liquid level sensors and switches are designed for service in the most harsh aerospace, military and marine environments. They are found in applications such as remote oil level sensors (ROLS), potable water multi-point level and control, and hydraulic oil reservoirs.
Temperature. Packaged for qualified commercial and military service, FCI’s temperature sensors measure temperatures from –65 ºF to 800 ºF (-54 ºC to 430 ºC) and can survive in temperatures from -85 ºF to 1,000ºF (–65 ºC to 540 ºC). Uses include hydraulic and coolant fluids, environmental cooling systems, cabin air temperature control, PACK Air and Bleed Air, and more.
Pressure. FCI’s aerospace pressure sensors are piezoresistive strain-gauge type sensors fabricated with advanced silicon processing techniques common in the
semiconductor industry. Typical applications are hydraulics, ECS, coolant systems, lubrication and fuel systems.
