Exploring Resistance, Capacitance, and Inductance-Based Pressure Measurement
Transducers bridge the gap between physical pressure and measurable electrical signals, enabling accurate pressure monitoring.
Pressure transducers are crucial for diverse applications, offering vital insights for control and safety.
This mechanism utilizes changes in electrical resistance due to pressure-induced strain on a sensing element.
It employs changes in capacitance caused by pressure-induced displacement of a diaphragm.
This utilizes changes in inductance resulting from pressure-induced movement of a core within a coil.
Strain gauges are resistors whose resistance changes proportionally to the strain produced by applied pressure.
Wheatstone Bridge is commonly used to measure these small resistance changes with high precision.
Gauge factor, temperature compensation, and linearity are critical factors impacting accuracy.
Applications includes weight scales, aerospace applications, and industrial automation.
