Pressure Sensors

Pressure Sensors are devices that can measure pressure and transform it into electrical signals. Those can be read and interpreted by a control system or display.

Common Types of Pressure Sensors

Pressure Sensors have multiple types. Let’s understand some common types of pressure sensors.

Absolute Pressure Sensors: They measure pressure relative to an ideal vacuum, where zero is the reference point. Absolute pressure sensors are used in applications such as altimeters, weather stations, and aerospace systems, providing the exact pressure reading despite the changes in the environment.

Gauge pressure sensors: They measure pressure in comparison to atmospheric pressure. This is used for applications such as monitoring tire pressure and the pressure of industrial tanks where pressure differences need to be referenced against ambient conditions.

Differential pressure sensors: They compute the difference between pressures at two points. There is a wide usage among applications such as HVAC fluid flow measurement and filter monitors where pressure drops must be tracked to ensure good efficiency.
