History

Founded in 1967, Setra Systems, Inc. is a USA-based designer and manufacturer of pressure, humidity and current sensing products for the HVAC industry. In 2001, Setra was acquired by Danaher Corporation. Setra Technology Park is located in Boxborough, MA.[2] Setra's range of products also cater to agricultural, medical, and semi-conductor industries apart from the existing OEM, barometric, HVAC/R, environmental, test and measurement, food and pharmaceutical industries.[2]

Management

The company was founded by Dr. Y. T. Li and Dr. S. Y. Lee, former professors of engineering at MIT.[3] The founders are also the co–developers of the variable capacitance transduction principle, the force sensing technology which is the basis of Setra's products.

Products

Setra's range of products include differential pressure transmitters, low differential pressure transducer, wet-to-wet differential pressure transducer, gauge pressure transmitters, current switches and sensors, humidity sensors and vacuum sensors. The engineering and research efforts of Setra have been put into the development of transmitters and transducers designed using the variable capacitive transduction principle.[4] Setra has applications in various industries such as OEM, barometric, HVAC/R, environmental, test and measurement, food and pharmaceutical industries and has now ventured into building automation,[5] agricultural, medical and semi-conductor industries.[6]

gollark: If I'm on a connection that high latency I can just use mosh, which does some magic to compensate for it on the client, and continue using nano.
gollark: I heard about a project using a USB/VGA adapter as a bad transmit-only SDR.
gollark: Hello, would you like to hear a TCP joke?Yes, I'd like to hear a TCP joke.OK, I'll tell you a TCP joke.OK, I'll hear a TCP joke.Are you ready to hear a TCP joke?Yes, I am ready to hear a TCP joke.OK, I'm about to send the TCP joke. It will last 10 seconds, it has two characters, it does not have a setting, it ends with a punchline.OK, I'm ready to hear the TCP joke that will last 10 seconds, has two characters, does not have a setting and will end with a punchline.I'm sorry, your connection has timed out... ...Hello, would you like to hear a TCP joke?
gollark: Actually, for Ryzen it has a significant performance impact because the DRAM speed controls the infinity fabric speed.
gollark: I "fixed" the problem by fully downgrading my system to the package versions of about a week ago, adding everything with "qt" in the name to the "do not update" list, and updating again.
