General Electric UNIK 5000 Pressure Sensor Expansion

China, Changzhou - On June 15, 2012, currently, in Changzhou, China, a 12,000-square-meter factory tailored to General Electric's test and control technology provides additional production capabilities for UNIK 5000 pressure sensors. This move will help meet the growing demand for these innovative pressure sensors in the Far East and will also ensure faster customer response times, shorter lead times, and a complete range of products already used in industry or processes. After-sale service.

As stated by the director of the Changzhou plant, Shen Xiaoyu, “In China, the UNIK5000 operating platform is enjoying great success, because it provides custom pressure sensors with standard components, precise matching, and specification personal requirements. We combine the application of silicon in China. Technology, modular design of analog circuits and sophisticated manufacturing technologies have achieved success."

The Changzhou factory demonstrated GE's philosophy of providing comprehensive regional support and special investment in China. The manufacturing plant was completed in 2008 and currently employs about 655 people, of which more than 10% are master students. In addition to providing a strong manufacturing capability for a range of inspection and control products, it also provides product design, development and training services.

Please note to editors. The high-quality piezoelectric sensors in the UNIK5000 operating platform can be used in hazardous areas and provide superior performance without the use of digital electronics, so sensors are suitable for sensitive applications such as those requiring low power consumption and pulse Power, and quick response place. They can work from 70 mbar (1 psi) to 700 bar (10000 psi) and at three performance levels (industrial, advanced and value-added services). Accuracy ranges from ±0.04%FS to ±0.2%FS. The available choices for pressure connectors and electronic connectors make it operational at most temperatures, from -55 to 125°C operating environments. Eight sets of electronic boards allow the output to be suitable for most applications. A further option is to allow individuals to set the output voltage. All 5000Unik sensors are characterized by low noise, high overvoltage capability and all made of stainless steel
