Process Control

Davidson Process offers fiber optic transducers that measure pressure, temperature, level, and flow.  The systems are suitable as form-fit-function replacements for existing electronic transmitters and can be fitted for intrinsically safe installations.

Power Generation

Davidson Power offers customized transducers with integrated signal conditioners for a variety of applications including combustion dynamics monitoring in gas turbines and monitoring of the combustion cycle/compression cycle in industrial engines and compressors.

Oil & Gas Production (Davidson Energy, Inc)

Davidson Energy offers downhole point pressure and temperature measurement sensing systems, i.e. transducer and signal conditioner.  Davidson's system operates at temperatures to 500ºF, pressures to 20,000 psi, and at transmission ranges to 15km.
