Welcome to Davidson Instruments

Davidson manufactures a line of rugged and intrinsically-safe fiber optic systems to measure temperature and pressure in harsh industrial environments at very high speed, at very long transmission range, and with very high resolution.  Davidson’s pressure transducers can operate continuously at temperatures up to 1000°F and in corrosive and hydrogen-rich environments.

Davidson products include a family of absolute and gage pressure transducers, a family of temperature sensors and probes, and a family of signal conditioners that makes absolute, high resolution measurements of static pressures and temperatures or the frequency content of dynamic pressures which are required in most process control and power generation applications.  Fiber optic sensing systems eliminate or mitigate most of the problems encountered with conventional electronic instrumentation in harsh industrial environments.

The fundamental limitations of the electronic systems lead to a number of practical problems that industry has had to work around such as thermal sensitivity, freezing, condensation, purge gases, explosion-proof containment, grounding, lightning, hydrogen migration, and electromagnetic interference.  These practical field problems lead to unreliable measurements, unplanned and unnecessary shutdowns, lower productivity and process yield, and high capital and maintenance costs.  Davidson fiber optic sensing systems do not have these fundamental limitations and provide the end user with the safest, most reliable, and most cost-effective instrumentation for harsh applications.

Davidson Instruments is a leader in the design, development, and manufacture of fiber optic sensing systems for harsh industrial applications supporting the power generation and process control markets.  Davidson Instruments is located in The Woodlands, Texas.
