Pressure Sensor
Pressure Sensor: Monitoring
Fluid Dynamics
Pressure sensors are devices designed to measure the pressure of gases or liquids. These sensors are crucial in various applications, from industrial automation to medical devices, ensuring safety, efficiency, and performance.
Pressure sensors operate by converting pressure into an electrical signal. This process typically involves a diaphragm or piezoelectric element that deforms under pressure, causing a change in resistance, capacitance, or inductance. This change is then converted into an electrical signal that can be measured and analyzed.
