Innovation is inherent in all Paine Electronics products. Paine's low level pressure transducers are designed with a strain gage bonded to a diaphragm. The bonding technique yields distinct advantages: it eliminates mechanical parts; reduces acceleration effects; and provides increased long-term stability, reliability and accuracy.
For more demanding applications, Paine's high level pressure transducers feature a proprietary strain wire-wound sensing-tube design. This design eliminates acceleration sensitivity, requires virtually no calibration and can withstand high temperature conditions. All high level output transducers contain custom circuits designed by Paine Electronics utilize both thick film hybrid and surface mount technologies. These technologies enables increased design flexibility for specialized applications.
Engineering:
The Engineering Department provides customers with cost-effective and reliable solutions for specialized pressure and temperature applications. As your partner in developing a successful design solution, Paine Electronics' library of custom designs provides a quick and reliable data source. Frequently, existing pressure and/or temperature designs can be simply modified on their sophisticated CAD system, saving you significant development time and costs.
Custom Design:
Design challenges frequently faced by Paine Electronics’ Engineers include dual or quad channel redundant, unusually small or large transducers and the ability to withstand corrosive media or intrinsically safe transducers.
Material & Composites Knowledge:
Proven Materials:
Paine pressure and temperature instrumentation is engineered to withstand extreme environments and accordingly are built with special alloys to ensure longevity and reliability. Inconel 718® alloy has consistently proven to provide excellent stability and is accordingly their preferred metal where long term stability is important. For example, Paine Electronics have used Inconel 718® alloy extensively in Miniature Down-hole Pressure Transducers, where H²S and other harsh fluids exist in down-hole well-logging environments. Inconel is also used for metal-to-metal seals, eliminating the standard o-ring that can extrude or cause leakage under high pressure.Titanium:
Used in Paine's oceanographic instrumentation due to its compatibility with sea water. The titanium sensing elements enable each sub-sea pressure transmitter to provide extremely accurate measurements with virtually no hysteresis.Stainless Steel:
For applications where adverse weather, intense vibration or electromagnetic interference might occur, hermetically sealed stainless steel casings protect the precise internal instrumentation.Manufacturing & Quality:
Expert Machining: Paine Electronics' fully-staffed machine shop includes technologically advanced manufacturing equipment, allowing customisation to unique physical requirements. This expanding technology has allowed specialized devices such as miniature transducers for oil well down-hole logging equipment and the utilization of specialized metals for casings and components to withstand even the most extreme conditions.
Hybrid Manufacturing: With the internal capability to produce thick film hybrid microcircuits, more than 65% of Paine's transducers are designed with built-in electronic signal conditioning. Paine's experience in creating uniquely shaped circuits for pressure transducers has established their reputation in producing hybrids in unusual configurations. Innovative designs continue to reduce physical size and increase reliability through resistance to shock and vibration.
Virtually every hybrid manufacturing process is completed in-house from printing and firing their own ceramic substrates to populating boards with advanced hybrid circuit technology. This provides increased design flexibility and service, and ensures that Paine’s instrumentation will consistently outperform in challenging applications and environments.
Quality Policy & Management: As a leading manufacturer and supplier of pressure instrumentation, Paine Electronics is meeting its commitment of responding to customer requirements with their total organization focused on continuous improvement of product quality, as well as performance and delivery.
Through an expanded "commitment to quality" the entire organization understands and is focused on consistently improving the Quality Management System.
Paine Electronics is fully registered as conforming to the AS9100 quality management standard. Certification was granted by TUV USA Quality Management Systems Division (QSD).
