Overview
Energy, downhole, and subsea applications demand sensors with exceptional long-term stability and survivability in high-temperature, high-pressure, and corrosive environments. SMD's thin-film sensors and custom assemblies are engineered for these conditions — from directional drilling tools to deep-sea exploration.
Sensing Challenges
How SMD Solves It
Downhole & directional drilling
Custom pressure sensors withstand the extreme conditions inside directional drilling devices.
Subsea & corrosion resistance
Non-corrosive pressure sensors survive deep-sea drilling and exploration in seawater and aggressive fluids.
Load & level in the field
Custom load cells instrument pipeline pigs, and level sensors support oil-spill containment systems.
