Ensure Safety, System Integrity, and Mission Success
Safety, optimized performance, and enhanced reliability are vital in the aerospace and defense industries. Turn to highly accurate instrumentation like flame detection, pressure, temperature, flow, and level solutions from Emerson help protect assets, guide decision-making, and maintain operational integrity in the most demanding environments.
Aerospace Solutions
Airplane Hangars
Highly combustible aviation fuel leaks can occur in aircraft hangars and within fuel storage areas. These fires can be extremely dangerous, as well as extremely costly as damage to the aircraft can occur. While many flame detection solutions typically focus on the aircraft itself, it’s important to also consider monitoring the aircraft hangar. Continuous monitoring using Rosemount™ 975 Flame Detectors can help detect and prevent dangerous fires.
Defense Solutions
Military and Defense Monitoring
Emerson's Paine™ pressure and temperature sensors are designed to meet the vigorous requirements of military and defense monitoring and control applications. All sensors can be modified to meet your specific design and application requirements and are available with optional features, pressure ranges, voltage inputs, electrical connections, pressure ports, special testing and thermal compensation.
Frequently Asked Questions
Emerson’s Paine pressure sensors and transducers are used for hydraulic control in rockets and satellites. These pressure sensors help control thrust, steering and positioning systems, enabling precise maneuvering during launch and accurate orientation control once in space. Their high reliability makes them well suited for demanding aerospace and space applications where performance is mission-critical.
Emerson’s Paine pressure sensors and transducers are used for hydraulic control in military vehicles. Applications include steering, braking, suspension systems, weapon actuation and other mission-essential equipment. Designed for harsh operating environments, these pressure sensors provide the reliability and accuracy needed to maintain vehicle performance and mission readiness.
Paine pressure sensors are used in aerospace and space applications, including rocket propulsion systems and spacecraft control systems, where they help monitor critical pressures used for propulsion and directional control.
In many military applications, pressure sensors are considered consumable components and are not calibrated regularly, but often replaced after a single use or on a preventative maintenance schedule, despite having minimal service life. This approach helps ensure maximum system integrity, reliability, and mission readiness.
