PRESSURE MEASUREMENT DEVICES
Pressure
Sensors
Today many measuring principles are
used in electronic pressure measure-
ment instruments. Most methods are
based on the measurement of a dis-
placement or force.
This pressure sensor is the basis of
electronic pressure measurement
systems. While mechanical Gage
element displacements of between
0.004 and 0.012 inches are standard,
the deformations in electronic pres-
sure sensors amount to no more than
a few microns.
Pressure
Transducers
Pressure transducers are an advanced form of the
pressure sensor element. The simplest form of an
electronic pressure measurement system is the
pressure sensor. It is the pressure sensor which
changes the physical variable pressure into a quan-
tity that can be processed electronically.
A pressure transducer is the next level of sophisti-
cation. In a pressure transducer, the sensor element
and housing are in electrical contact and have a
Pressure Connections.
Pressure
Transmitters
Pressure Transmitters, a sub-group of
pressure transducers, feature additio-
nal reset and calibration options. With
some sensor types it is possible:
- to re-set the measuring span over
large ranges. This calibration option
is usually referred to by such terms as
scale down, span reset or turn down.
- to shift the zero point over a wide
range and to calibrate the damping of
the output signal between 0 and 32
seconds. Smart transmitters such as
Hart®, which also have logging capa-
bilities, can be calibrated, tested and
reset via the control desk or hand ter-
minals. Transmitters are often used in
process applications where they can
be combined with various chemical
seals.

Typical output signals from pressure transducers are

the sensor type. These signals are not standardized,
however, nor are they compensated. With thin-film
