Pressure Transducers: Sensing the Invisible Force

Exploring Resistance, Capacitance, and Inductance-Based Pressure Measurement

Unveiling Pressure Transducers

    The Essence of Transducers

    Transducers bridge the gap between physical pressure and measurable electrical signals, enabling accurate pressure monitoring.

    Pressure Measurement

    Pressure transducers are crucial for diverse applications, offering vital insights for control and safety.

    Resistance-Based

    This mechanism utilizes changes in electrical resistance due to pressure-induced strain on a sensing element.

    Capacitance-Based

    It employs changes in capacitance caused by pressure-induced displacement of a diaphragm.

    Inductance-Based

    This utilizes changes in inductance resulting from pressure-induced movement of a core within a coil.

    Resistance-Type Transducers: The Strain Gauge Principle

      Strain Gauge Fundamentals

      Strain gauges are resistors whose resistance changes proportionally to the strain produced by applied pressure.

      Wheatstone Bridge

      Wheatstone Bridge is commonly used to measure these small resistance changes with high precision.

      Sensitivity Factors

      Gauge factor, temperature compensation, and linearity are critical factors impacting accuracy.
