Pressure Sensor Instrument Information
A electromechanical instrument designed to measure the pressure in a system or environment.
Common Uses
- Measuring the pressure of a system or environment, such as in weather instrumentation, aircraft, automobiles and other machinery.
- Sensing the altitude in aircraft, rockets or satellites.
- Using differential pressure to sensing the flow through a pipe or tube.
- Measuring the depth of a sensor in a water column, such as on a diver or in a submarine.
- Measuring the rate of a leak in a pressure tank.
Common Types
- Measurement Type (Absolute, Gage, Vacuum, Differential, Sealed)
- Technology (Piezoresistive, Capacitive, Electromagnetic, Piezoelectric, Optical, Potentiometric)
