Automotive Pressure Pulse Sensor BNC & Banana 50mm

Description

Please state whether you need BNC connection or Banana plug during purchase. If you have request for color please ask, many standard colors available.
Pressure pulse sensors are used with an oscilloscope to monitor pressure changes to aid in diagnostic strategy.
One of the most common uses is to diagnose headgasket failure by monitoring cooling system pulses. Photo of waveform attached from Pico.
In normal operation of internal combustion engines pulse waves of pressure are generated in various systems. All engines produce such waves and their shape is predictable. All engines produce a predictable pattern of these pulses so any change in shape or appearance of asymmetry of these pulses indicates a problem with the engine. PPS detects such faults as burnt valves, bad injectors and other performance problems without major disassembly of the engine. To visualize the waveform of the output signal of PPS, its electrical part is connected to an oscilloscope (lab scope; automotive scope). The screen will show in real time the work of valves, cylinders and injectors, and by using synchronization to the first cylinder it can be determined by its performance which cylinders has a problem. The auto-mechanic can therefore quickly and accurately get an idea of the actual condition of the engine. Pressure Pulse Sensor does not need additional external power supply and it can be used with most modern digital storage oscilloscopes (lab scopes).
Advantages of the Pressure Pulse Sensor:
• Fast and easy connection;
• Locate cylinder problems thru the exhaust pulses;
• Detect valve leakage, cylinder compression;
• Find injector problems.
• Detect combustion leak into cooling system
Typical applications
With the Pressure Pulse Sensor we can observe the waveform of:
• Pulsation of exhaust gases in the exhaust;
• Pulsation of combustion gases in cooling system;
• Changes in the gas pressure in the inlet manifold;
• Fluctuations in the membrane pressure regulator of the fuel;
• Crankcase gases and other;
• Determine the degree of contamination of the injectors without having them dismantled.
