Differential Pressure Sensors

Differential pressure sensors are devices used to measure the difference in pressure between two points. They are commonly used in industrial applications to measure the pressure of liquids and gases, and can be used to measure the pressure of a single medium, or the difference between two different media. Differential pressure sensors are typically composed of two parts: a sensing element and a transducer. The sensing element is the part of the device that senses the pressure, while the transducer is the part that converts the pressure into an electrical signal. The electrical signal is then used to measure the pressure difference between the two points. Differential pressure sensors are often used in applications such as flow measurement, liquid level measurement, and air velocity measurement. They are also used in medical applications, such as monitoring blood pressure, and in the aerospace industry, for measuring the pressure of the atmosphere. Differential pressure sensors are an important part of many industrial processes, and their accuracy and reliability are essential for successful operation.
