Pressure sensors are devices used to measure the pressure of liquids and gases. These devices are also known as pressure transducers or pressure transmitters, and which are used for controlling and monitoring pressure in a number of day-to-day applications such as touch screen devices, biomedical instruments, and automobiles. They sense pressure in a liquid or …

The basic measurement principle of piezoelectric sensors is simple. The crystals are placed in the sensor directly behind a thin membrane. This membrane then converts the pressure into a force onto the crystal, which then linearly reacts with a charge displacement, thus an electrical charge on the surface. This is a direct physical conversion of …

What pressure does the sensor measure? The first thing to consider …
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. The process of using the pressure sensor should pay attention to the following conditions: Prevent the transmitter from touching corrosive or overheated media; Prevent dross …
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 …
