Frequently Asked Questions
What is a pressure sensor used for?
A pressure sensor measures the force exerted by a fluid or gas on a surface. Absolute pressure sensors compare against a near vacuum, while gauge (or relative) pressure sensors measure against the ambient atmospheric pressure. These sensors are essential for monitoring and controlling processes in industries like automotive, medical, and HVAC.
What are the 7 types of pressure sensors?
Strain Gauge: Measures expansion or contraction of materials under force.
Piezoelectric: Utilizes the piezoelectric effect to detect pressure changes.
Capacitive: Measures changes in capacitance caused by pressure deformation.
Manometers: Use fluid columns to measure pressure differences.
Vacuum Pressure Sensors: Specifically designed to measure pressures lower than atmospheric pressure.
Bourdon Tube: Mechanical sensor using a coiled tube which flexes with pressure changes.
Aneroid Barometer: Measures atmospheric pressure using a sealed, airless chamber to detect changes.
How to work a pressure sensor?
A pressure sensor operates by converting a physical pressure change into an electrical signal. When pressure is applied, the sensor’s module reacts, generating an output voltage. This raw signal then undergoes further processing, including calibration, amplification, and temperature compensation, to ensure the readings are stable and reliable for use in various applications.
