Sensors and pressure transducers

Pressure sensors and transmitters are devices that are used to measure pressure in various industrial and laboratory applications. Pressure is the force acting on a unit area and is measured in pascals (Pa) or multiples thereof, such as hectopascals (hPa) or kilopascals (kPa). Pressure sensors are devices that directly measure pressure and transmit it to a control or monitoring system. Depending on the application, pressure sensors can operate on different principles, such as: Electrical: in this case, the pressure is converted into an electrical signal, which is then processed by an electronic control system. Mechanical: in this case, the pressure is converted into a mechanical movement, which is used to measure the pressure. Acoustic: in this case, the pressure is converted into a sound wave, which is used to measure the pressure. Pressure transducers are devices that convert pressure into an electrical signal that can be processed by a control or monitoring system. Pressure transducers are often used in applications where a pressure signal needs to be processed, such as process control. Depending on the type of signal to be processed, pressure transducers can be classified as analog or digital. Analog transducers generate an analog signal that is proportional to the pressure being measured. Digital transducers generate a digital signal that is processed by a computer system. Pressure sensors and transmitters are widely used in various industries, such as chemical, food, medical, automotive and many others. When selecting a suitable pressure sensor or transmitter, it is important to consider the operating conditions and measurement accuracy requirements.
