A pressure transducer is capable of accurately measuring pressure. It converts applied pressure into an electric signal and can be classified as an active or passive pressure measurement device.

Designing high-performance pressure transducers can be a technical balancing act. While it’s relatively simple to design an accurate low range transducer with high output sensitivity, it is difficult ...

Pressure spikes, i.e. pressure overloads that take place over a short timespan, happen in many transducers in fluid power systems. If these spikes are particularly strong they can result in a ...

As more and more refrigeration systems incorporate electronic controls into their design, it is becoming increasingly important for technicians to be able to troubleshoot these electronic devices. One ...

The AST5300 wet/wet differential pressure sensor from American Sensor Technologies, Mount Olive, N. J., measures the difference in pressure between two points, and, when used with signal processing, ...

Posifa Technologies is introducing its PVC4001-C MEMS Pirani vacuum transducer, part of the company’s PVC4000 series. The PVC4001 configuration combines a MEMS thermal conduction sensor, measurement ...

Kistler has introduced its industry exclusive PRT Configurator, a comprehensive, interactive online model selection tool, designed to help customers eliminate the guesswork associated with determining ...

American Sensor Technologies, Inc. (AST) has released the AST4530 PVDF / PTFE submersible pressure transducer. Intended for liquid level measurement of corrosive liquids in which stainless steel or ...

Compact MEMS Pirani transducer combines thermal sensing and barometric measurement to deliver wide-range vacuum monitoring ...

BAS monitoring of the differential pressure across a filter within an air system is commonplace. The differential pressure across the filter will increase as the filter gets loaded. If it gets too ...
