Glossary of Terms
Activation Point: The point at which a sensor changes mechanical or electrical output state as a result of change to its input. Sometimes referred to as
Cut-in. (i.e. the pressure at which a switch will change from OFF to ON) See also: Deactivation Point, Activation Point.
Auto Reset: Automatic Reset switches, which are the most common type, will change the state of the electrical poles (cut-in/cut-out) when the pressure
crosses the activation point (Activation Point). The electrical state will return to the previous state when the pressure crosses the deactivation point. These
switches do not need human interaction to operate.
Burst Pressure: Pressure which causes failure of pressure sensing element. Exceeding the burst pressure results in permanent damage and mechanical
breach of process media.
Deadband: The difference in pressure between the activation point (Activation Point) and deactivation point (Reset Point). See also: hysteresis.
Deactivation Point: The point at which a sensor changes mechanical or electrical output state as a result of change to its input. Sometimes referred to as
Cut-out. (i.e. the pressure at which a switch will change from ON to OFF) See also: Activation Point, Activation Point.
Dielectric Strength: The maximum electric field strength that an insulator can withstand intrinsically without breaking down, i.e., without experiencing
failure of its insulating properties.
Helium Leak Tested:
Hysteresis: The difference in readings of an instrument when the value of the measured quantity is approached from two different directions.
IP 65: Product is totally protected from dust and protected against low pressure jets of water from all directions - limited ingress permitted.
Maximum Operating Pressure: The designed safe pressure limit of a sensing element at which regular use will cause no damage.
Maximum Operating Temperature: The designed safe temperature below which a sensor may be operated without loss of accuracy or integrity.
NEMA 4: Water-tight and dust-tight enclosures intended for use indoors or outdoors to protect the equipment against splashing, falling, or hose directed
water, external condensation and water seepage. They are also sleet-resistant.
Operating Pressure Range: The pressure range (minimum and maximum pressure) in which a sensor can be safely operated and maintain actuation
point and mechanical integrity.
Proof Pressure: Pressure exceeding the Maximum Operating Pressure to which a sensor may be occasionally subjected to and cause no mechanical
loss of integrity.
Repeatability: The exactness with which a sensor duplicates its Activation Point after successive cycles within the same operating conditions.
Reset Band: The difference in pressure between the activation point (Activation Point) and deactivation point (reActivation Point). See also: hysteresis.
Reset Point: Point at which a switch will return to its original or normal operating position.
Sensor: A primary measuring device (bellows, diaphragm, piston) for detecting either the absolute or variable pressure.
Set Point: The calibrated point at which a sensor will activate. Activation Point can be specified including the intended direction of pressure change
(increasing or decreasing) to account for hysteresis.
Set Point Tolerance: The range expressing the largest variation of activation of a sensor while operating within the listed operating conditions.
SPDT: An acronym meaning Single Pole Double Throw, referring to an electrical switch contain common, normally open and normally closed terminals.
See also: SPST.
SPST: An acronym meaning Single Pole Single Throw, referring to an electrical switch containing a common terminal and either a normally open or a
normally closed terminal. See also: SPDT
Vacuum Pressure: The range of pressure identified as below atmospheric pressure.
Wetted Parts: Sensor components that come into direct contact with the process media.
