Instrument
|
|
The device is (usually) a self-contained unit that provides an output, such as a display, at or near the unit. The device may also include signal processing / conditioning, for example a handheld voltmeter.
|
| |
Recorder
|
|
A device that records measured values or accumulates totals.
|
| |

|
|
Pressure controllers are devices that regulate either positive or negative (vacuum) pressure. They receive sensor input, provide control functions (limits, PID, logic, etc.) and output control signals.

Mechanical Deflection
|
|
An elastic or flexible element mechanically deflects with a change in pressure, for example a diaphragm, Bourdon tube, or bellows.
|
| |
Piston
|
|
A sealed piston / cylinder measures changes in pressure.
|
| |
Strain Gauge
|
|
Strain gages (strain-sensitive variable resistors) are bonded to parts of the structure that deform as the pressure changes. These strain gages are typically used as elements in a Wheatstone bridge circuit, which is used to make the measurement.
|
| |
Semiconductor Piezoresistive
|
|
Piezoresistive sensors are based on semiconductor technology. The change in resistance is not only because of a change in the length and width (as it is with strain gage) but because of a shift of electrical charges within the resistor. These are very sensitive devices.
|
| |
Piezoelectric
|
|
Piezoelectric pressure sensors measure dynamic and quasi-static pressures. The common modes of operation are charge mode, which generates a high-impedance charge output; and voltage mode, which uses an amplifier to convert the high-impedance charge into a low-impedance output voltage.
|
| |
Thin Film
|
|
An extremely thin layer of material is deposited on a substrate by sputtering, chemical vapor deposition, or other technique. This technology incorporates a compact design with good temperature stability. There are a variety of materials used in thin film technology, such as titanium nitride and polysilicon.
|
| |
MEMS
|
|
Microelectromechanical systems (MEMS) are typically manufactured by silicon surface micromachining.
|
| |
Variable Capacitance
|
|
The capacitance change results from the movement of a diaphragm element. The deflection of the diaphragm causes a change in capacitance that is detected by a bridge circuit.
|
| |
Vibrating Element
|
|
These devices use a vibrating element technology, such as silicon resonance.

Working Pressure Range
|
|
The maximum allowable pressure at which a system or piece of equipment is designed to operate safely. The extremes of this range should be determined in accordance with the expected pressure range the device must operate within. It is common practice that this value should not exceed 75% of the devices maximum rated range. For example: if the device has a maximum rated range of 100 psi then the working range should not exceed 75 psi.
