What is a pressure sensor and how does it work?
● A pressure sensor measures the force exerted by a fluid (liquid or gas) on a surface.
● The sensor converts this force into an electrical signal for accurate monitoring and control.
● Essential for real-time pressure measurement in critical systems.
Where are pressure sensors commonly used?
● Aerospace – monitor pressure for critical components such as hydraulics, and cabin pressure.
● Automotive – track oil and air pressure for engine performance.
●Environmental monitoring – measures air and water pressure.
What types of pressure sensor technologies are available?
● Silicon-on-Insulator (SOI) – high stability and durability.
● Thin film sensors – ideal for harsh environments.
● LVDT-based designs – precise measurement for dynamic applications.
These options are suitable for absolute, gauge, differential, and sealed pressures.
Can pressure sensors be customized for different applications?
Yes, customization options include:
● Pressure range adjustments for specific needs.
● Mounting styles for easy integration.
● Electrical interfaces for system compatibility.
Tailored designs ensure optimal performance in unique environments.
What are the benefits of using pressure sensors in industrial and aerospace systems?
● Provide precise pressure measurement for critical processes.
● Support process optimization and predictive maintenance.
● Enables safety standards and equipment reliability.
● Allows real-time monitoring and control for operational efficiency.
