Pressure Sensors, Transducers

Pressure sensors are sensors that are used to measure the pressure of a fluid or gas. These sensors typically consist of a pressure-sensitive element, such as a strain gauge, piezoelectric crystal, or capacitive element, and a transducer that converts the physical pressure into an electrical signal. Pressure sensors are available in a variety of types, including absolute pressure sensors, which measure the absolute pressure of a fluid or gas, and gauge pressure sensors, which measure the pressure relative to atmospheric pressure. Pressure sensors are commonly used in a wide range of applications, including industrial automation, medical devices, and automotive systems. These sensors are available in a variety of sizes, pressure ranges, and output types to suit different applications. Pressure sensors are an essential component of many electronic systems, providing accurate and reliable measurement of the pressure of a fluid or gas.
