Evolution Measurement has launched its EvoScann P10-D pressure scanner, developed in line with the EU-funded CleanSky2 and Airbus Helicopter-led RACER program.
Building upon existing technology, the P10-D delivers the first-ever 10-channel true-differential pressure scanner for aerodynamic measurement.
Designed to meet the demands of aerospace applications, the P10-D features a fully customizable mechanical interface so it can be integrated into different testing configurations, often without the need for any tubing.
The pressure scanners can be connected in a daisy chain configuration, reducing the length of cables required, while delivering readings from each scanner, improving frequency response and streamlining operations.
According to Evolution Measurement, the P10-D offers the highest resolution available in the market, while the P10-D’s ten direct true differential pressure sensors are coupled to a 24-bit ADC.
Various measurement units allow measurement output speeds of up to 2kHz. Pressure signals are fully temperature compensated, and the P10-D incorporates an additional barometric sensor that is only used for measuring local atmospheric pressure.
This measurement does not form part of the differential measurement and can report barometric or static pressure changes at multiple locations around the test article when multiple scanners are deployed.
Its robust construction ensures reliability under the most challenging conditions, while its aerospace-specific communication protocol guarantees efficient data transmission during flight tests. EvoScann P10-D uses IENA communications, is IEEE1588PTPv2 compliant and is accurate to within ±0.1%.
The Clean Sky 2 project emphasizes environmental sustainability in aviation, and the P10-D aligns perfectly with its goals by enabling more efficient, accurate, and adaptable testing processes. Addressing the unique challenges of flight test environments, the P10-D empowers engineers to push the boundaries of innovation in cleaner and greener aviation technologies, said Evolution Measurement.
Andover, UK-based Evolution Measurement also works in industries including motorsport, power generation and universities and research establishments.
