What is a pressure sensor? A pressure sensor is a device or device that can sense pressure and convert pressure signals into available electrical signals according to certain rules. There is no amplifying circuit inside the pressure sensor, the full-scale output is generally millivolt level, and the load capacity is low, so it cannot be …
Differences between a Pressure Sensor and a Pressure Transmitter Read More »
The sensing element of a pressure sensor, the part that turns the pressure into an electrical value, is independent of the type of pressure sensor and its sensing method. Environmental conditions where the sensor will be used and the media being measured will influence which sensing element should be used. This will have been considered …
Do Absolute, Gauge and Differential Pressure Sensors Measure Pressure Differently? Read More »
What’s the difference between absolute, gauge and differential pressure sensors? Different applications require different ways of measuring things. In electronic systems, as an example, sometimes we want to know the voltage across a specific component. Other times we’re only interested in the difference in voltage between two points in the circuit. It’s a similar situation …
Absolute VS Gauge VS Differential Pressure Sensor Read More »
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 …
