Knowledge of pressure sensors

Thread Content

Pressure sensors are the most commonly used type of sensor in industrial applications. The pressure sensors we use typically rely on the piezoelectric effect to function, and such sensors are also known as piezoelectric pressure sensors. There are also piezoresistive pressure sensors made using the piezoresistive effect, strain gauge pressure sensors that utilize the strain effect, and so on. These different pressure sensors utilize various effects and materials, allowing them to serve their unique purposes in different applications. Piezoelectric acceleration and pressure sensors have been widely used in the measurement of vibration and shock in aircraft, automobiles, ships, bridges, and buildings, and they hold a particularly important role, especially in the fields of aviation and aerospace. Piezoelectric pressure sensors can also be used to measure the combustion pressure inside the engine as well as the vacuum level. It can also be used in **industry, for example to measure the changes in chamber pressure as well as the shock wave pressure at the muzzle at the moment a gun or bullet is fired. It can be used to measure both high pressures and very low pressures. Piezoelectric pressure sensors are also widely used in biomedical measurements; for example, ventricular catheter microphones are made using piezoelectric pressure sensors. Since measuring dynamic pressure is such a common task, piezoelectric pressure sensors have a very wide range of applications. Principles for selecting pressure sensors: Determine the type of sensor based on the object being measured and the measurement environment. Consider factors such as sensitivity, frequency response characteristics, linear range, stability, and accuracy. Precautions for using pressure sensors: Take into account the temperature range of the pressure in question; for standard industrial temperatures ranging from –20 to 85 degrees, a general-purpose pressure sensor is sufficient. If the temperature exceeds 85 degrees, measures to reduce the temperature need to be considered. Measure whether the medium is corrosive. Consider whether there is frequent overpressure in the measured pressure, and if so, take measures to prevent overpressure.
