The Pressure sensor measures atmospheric pressure in the range of 0 – 1400 Pa with beginning-of-life accuracy circa 3 Pa. Its relative accuracy (repeatability in the time scale of hours) is less than 2 Pa and resolution max. A pressure sensor is a device or instrument which is able to measure the pressure in gases or liquids. A pressure sensor consists of a pressure-sensitive element which can determine the pressure being applied and components to convert the information into an output signal.
A Force Sensor is defined as a transducer that converts an input mechanical load, weight, tension, compression or pressure into an electrical output signal (load cell definition). Force Sensors are also commonly known as Force Transducer. There are seven main types of pressure sensors: Aneroid barometer pressure sensors, manometer pressure sensors, bourdon tube pressure sensors, vacuum (Pirani) pressure sensors, sealed pressure sensors, piezoelectric pressure sensors, and strain gauge pressure sensors.
Pressure sensors are increasingly used in applications such as bottle and equipment leak detection, Variable Air Volume (VAV) systems, air blades, compressed air pressure monitoring, industrial flow monitoring, filter pressure monitoring, duct airflow, gas detection, pneumatic controls, mine safety instrumentation,
