Evaluating Engine Performance - Pressure Sensors for Engine Test Benches

Pressure measurement under severe conditions

FPT Motorenforschung AG is headquartered in Albon, Switzerland, and develops engines for vehicles and machinery in the powertrain division of CNH Industrial. Approximately 220 staff members are on-site developing new FPT products for commercial vehicles, construction machinery, agricultural machinery, industrial applications, and marine use, with engines being tested on a total of 30 test benches. To measure engine efficiency, FPT Motorenforschung uses tools such as the M5 series pressure sensors from KELLER, a specialist in pressure sensors based in Switzerland. "The engines we develop and test in the factory meet the most stringent quality requirements in terms of materials, emissions, and efficiency. This means that when inspecting engines on the test bench, we must consider all variables that affect engine performance. Therefore, precise measuring instruments are required to obtain accurate and reliable measurements even under special conditions inside the engine," said the head of the Testing Engineering/Electronic Measurement Department at FPT Motorenforschung AG.
