We made it! – German Innovation Awards Winner 2019
The German Innovation Awards honour products and solutions across sectors, which differ from previous solutions mainly by being user-centred and offering added value. They do so because there are innovations in all sectors that shape the future and improve life. Sometimes you see them at first glance – but often not. The German Innovation Awards aim to change that. They make great achievements visible to a wide audience and ensure successful positioning in the market.
We are proud to have won the German Innovation Award with our newly developed gas density sensor DGF-I1.
The gas density sensor DGF-I1 of TrueDyne Sensors AG combines smallest sensor Technology (MEMS = Micro Electro Mechanical Systems), physical models and highest calibration competence on smallest size. With our sensor, we redefine the state of the art and offer our customers added value in places where measurement has not been possible until today, e.g. in quality monitoring for food packaging. Our measuring system is based on a micro tuning fork, which is set into vibration. The resulting resonance frequency of the tuning fork depends on the density of the surrounding medium. Due to the possibilities of MEMS technology and the sensor technology based on it, the quality
Measure the density of a gas directly in the gas line or in the gas tank: This is made possible by the DGF-I1 density sensor from TrueDyne. At the heart of the sensor is a microelectromechanical system (MEMS) with an oscillator in the form of a tuning fork. For the measurement, the metal housing surrounding the MEMS is filled with the medium. The natural frequency of the oscillator varies depending on the density of the gas surrounding it. In order to compensate for temperature effects, a platinum resistor which precisely measures the local temperature is built into the sensor.
The sensor is very compact with a diameter of 31 mm and a length of 63 mm and can be placed in even the smallest of spaces. It is screwed directly into the gas line or the gas tank with the integrated connection, and a filter protects against contamination. The measured values are transmitted to the higher-level system via an RS485 interface. The response time of 5 seconds enables density measurement directly in the process – the measurement does not have to be interrupted.
Today would have been the birthday of Gaspard Gustave de Coriolis. Did you know that he is one of the 72 scientists and engineers with his name immortalized on the Eiffel tower?

We congratulate Steffen Zehnle our R&D System Engineer on his doctorate.
– Dr.-Ing. Steffen Zehnle –
His doctoral thesis deals with pneumatic operations in centrifugal microfluidics. We are glad that he is part of our team and look forward to great new developments within TrueDyne Sensors AG.
You can find out more about his doctoral thesis here
Today is “World Poetry Day”. Even in the times of the Ancient Greeks, philosophers and physicists argued over what colors actually are. We don’t argue about that today, but simply think about the fact that the word Poetry means “creating”. Did you know that our physicists have created outstanding density and viscosity sensors?
Today would have been Giovanni Battista Venturi’s birthday. Why not use the Venturi effect to make your measurement medium flow through our density sensor DLO-M1.
Today would have been the birthday of Gotthilf Heinrich Ludwig Hagen. Thanks to him and French doctor Jean Léonard Marie Poiseuille, today we have Hagen-Poiseuille’s Law.
Today is “World Compliment Day”. It’s great that you’re always finding new ways of using our density and viscosity sensors. Do you have an application you’d like to discuss with us? – info@truedyne.com
Today is “Thinking Day” on the day commemorating Founders’ Day in the scouting movement. Just like the scouts, the motto of our density and viscosity sensors is “Be prepared” in your measurements directly in the process. Want to find out more – info@truedyne.com
Today would have been the birthday of Claude Louis Marie Henri Navier. Did you know that he is one of the 72 scientists and engineers with his name immortalized on the Eiffel tower?
Today is “Opposite Day” in the USA. If you would like the opposite of costs, get in touch and we’ll show you how you can use our density and viscosity sensors to save costs and make optimizations – info@truedyne.com
Today, for the 36th time, national “World Nothing Day” is celebrated in the USA. If you do want to do something after all, though, why not give us a call and set a meeting date. We would be happy to advise you on our density and viscosity sensors.
The year is turning to an end and we will use the contemplative days.
From 22nd December 2018 to the 7st January 2019, we have company holidays.

Obviously, the two visitors had fun watching the different steps in the process to produce our density and viscosity sensors in our laboratory.
It was a pleasure to show our offspring TrueDyne.
Thanks also to the many supporters.
As an expert in density, we not only want to support you in finding an optimal product solution, but also be your first point of contact in this area. We are happy to share our density know-how in the form of a basic training course, which we have put together for you.
