How Can a Sensor Accurately Control Inflation to 2 PSI?

Click For Summary
SUMMARY

The discussion focuses on designing a system that accurately controls inflation to 2 PSI using a sensor. The current setup employs a solenoid, compressed air, and a mechanical timed relay, but the user seeks to replace the relay with a sensor or gauge for precise inflation control. A simple mechanical pressure regulator is suggested as a potential solution to achieve this goal.

PREREQUISITES
  • Understanding of pressure measurement and control systems
  • Familiarity with solenoid operation and applications
  • Knowledge of mechanical pressure regulators
  • Basic principles of pneumatic systems
NEXT STEPS
  • Research how to implement a pressure sensor for precise inflation control
  • Explore the specifications and applications of mechanical pressure regulators
  • Learn about solenoid valve integration in pneumatic systems
  • Investigate calibration techniques for pressure measurement devices
USEFUL FOR

Engineers, hobbyists, and designers working on pneumatic systems or inflation control mechanisms will benefit from this discussion.

Hello all,

I am trying to design a system with a sensor that can detect when an inflatable is inflated to 2 PSI. I am trying to inflate something small, around 6 liters. I currently have a system that uses a solenoid, the compressed air, and a mechanical timed relay that tells the system when to stop inflating. The issue is that i want to make it using a sensor or gauge to tell the system to stop inflating at exactly 2 PSI.

Please let me know if you can help. All questions, comments, or suggestions are welcome.

Thanks
