Baumer produces
its pressure sensors with metal thin film membranes made of high-quality
stainless steel. For applications in seawater or with aggressive media,
the membrane and the sensor parts contacting the media should be additionally
protected against crevice corrosion. Due to its excellent protective
skills, Parylene C is a suitable material for this. The abrasion-proof
coating is rugged at a continuous operation temperature of up to 150°C,
resistant against fungal decay and chemicals and persistent to radiation.
Additionally, it provides an excellent electrical insulation with
high disruptive strength. From a coating thickness of only 0.2 µm,
the material is completely free of pores. Since there is no gas emission
with Parylene C, it is also suitable for the aerospace industry and
approved by the NASA.
Compared to
conventional coating methods, Parylene C enables an evenly thin and
of pore-free coating even in joints and hollow spaces. Internal coatings
of pressure connections with capillary supply, as for example with
the PDR transmitters used for shipbuilding can be realised.
The coating of a pressure sensor membrane takes place as batch fabrication
under vacuum. Due to the gentle production process and the very thin
coating of 1 to 50 µm, the sensor's features like linearity
and hysteresis are not impaired.
The Parylene coating is optionally available for all pressure sensors.
Baumer especially recommends it for applications in extreme environments
in order to increase the sensors' life cycle. Generally, any material
can be coated with Parylene to protect it against corrosion.
