Ultrasonic PZT Sensors

Morgan Advanced Materials has once again pushed the boundaries of sensor design and construction and has developed the capability to reliably manufacture compact, lead zirconium titanate (PZT) based Ultrasonic Sensors for continuous operation between -30°C and 160°C. Morgan is an established leader in the design and manufacture of piezoceramic sensors for applications in sectors such as oil and gas, aerospace, marine and chemical processing. Sensor types benefiting from Morgan’s temperature-tolerant technology include flow measurement, continuous level sensing, distance detection and “contact” sensors. Ultrasonic transducers can also be supplied which are able to conduct additional analyses such as the identification of fluid “quality” and chemical concentration. As well as excellent functionality at high operational temperatures, the new sensors can tolerate wider non-operational temperature ranges and regular thermal cycling during service. Morgan’s expertise ensures the optimal material is selected for each sensor. The material finally selected will often be chosen to fulfil multiple criteria with known heritage in comparable applications. For example, an aerospace-qualified material rated for continuous high temperature operation up to 250°C may be selected for one application, while another material, operating at very similar temperatures in a sonar application, may be selected for its high resistance to pressure.
