ATO’s pressure sensor feature digitally compensated electronics that are environmentally protected within a sealed enclosure. The sensors are highly accurate over a broad temperature range, resisting the effects of wide ambient temperature swings, high humidity, condensation and icing. The pressure port is machined from a solid piece of stainless steel. No o-rings, organic materials, or …
There are many aspects of a pressure sensor that determine whether it is the right choice for a given application. Gauge, absolute or differential, transducer or transmitter, measurement range, fitting style/ size, and absolute maximum ratings such as burst pressure are among the most important. Several pressure sensors may meet the application requirements in these …

Pressure sensors are rugged and durable devices built to withstand the rigors of industrial use. Many pressure transducer problems are caused by improper installation or by using a pressure sensor that is in appropriate for the application. When you’re troubleshooting pressure sensor problems, the first step is to ascertain that the device in place is …
For all continuous output pressure sensors, no matter the application, the component most sensitive to external factors, and most crucial to sensor functionality is the sensing diaphragm. If it is not working correctly, either your readings will be incorrect or, in extreme cases, you will have no readings at all. Here are five Dos which, …

Dealing with different variables, whether physical or environmental, is a normal part of any pressure instrumentation application. Decisions must be made regarding protection from outside environmental elements such as water, dust, extreme heat or cold. Though the list of different variables can be long and lengthy, ATO offers a brief overview of some of the …
With the continuous promotion of pressure sensor research and application fields, the substrate materials of pressure sensors are also different. It is more common to select materials with specific properties for device manufacturing. Pressure sensor base material: The substrate material is the basis for the manufacture of pressure sensors. The choice of different substrate materials …
Understanding the difference in what electronic pressure detectors referred to as sensors, transducers, or transmitters these three terms mean is important to ensure the chosen device is right for the end application. So how do you differentiate between them? Pressure sensor can be regarded as a generic description for any device that measures pressure and …

Capacitive sensor use various types of capacitors as sensing elements to convert the measured physical quantity or mechanical quantity into a conversion device for capacitance change, which is actually a capacitor with variable parameters. A capacitive pressure sensor contains a capacitor with one rigid plate and one flexible membrane as electrodes. The area of these …
A pressure sensor is a device equipped with a pressure-sensitive element that measures the pressure of a gas or a liquid against a diaphragm made of stainless steel, silicon, etc., and converts the measured value into an electrical signal as an output. Pressure sensors are usually composed of pressure sensitive elements and signal processing units. …
