Product Specifications

Technical details and manufacturing context for Pressure Sensor/Transducer

Definition
A critical component within a Pressure Testing Unit that detects and measures fluid or gas pressure, converting it into a standardized electrical output signal (e.g., 4-20mA, 0-10V) for monitoring, data acquisition, and control systems to ensure testing accuracy and safety.
Working Principle
Typically operates on principles such as piezoresistive, capacitive, or strain gauge. Applied pressure causes a physical deformation in a sensing element (diaphragm), which changes its electrical properties (resistance, capacitance). This change is measured by an internal circuit and converted into a proportional electrical output signal.
Common Materials
Stainless Steel (housing/diaphragm), Silicon (piezoresistive sensing element), Ceramic (capacitive sensing element)
Technical Parameters
  • Pressure range (e.g., 0-100 bar) (bar, psi, kPa, MPa) Per Request
Components / BOM
  • Pressure Sensing Diaphragm Part
    The primary element that deflects under applied pressure, initiating the measurement process.
    Material: Stainless Steel, Silicon, or Ceramic
  • Strain Gauge / Piezoresistor Part
