Advantages of Pressure Sensors

Pressure is one of the most vital physical quantities in our environment. It has important parameters in industrial applications such as thermodynamics, aerodynamics, fluid & soil mechanics, biophysics, and many more.

Most of the manufacturing units are operated by human operators. It requires constant monitoring and control of pressures. Because overpressure could cause the corrosion of enclosures and drains and mainly it causes significant damages to critical equipment types. Hence, they use Pressure Sensors to monitor dynamic pressure changes and convert them into an analog electrical signal where the applied pressure defines its quantity.

Pisco Pressure Sensors are electro-mechanical devices that can define forces in different types of gases and liquids as compressed air, oil, and vapor, gas, pneumatic, water, liquid, hydraulic, and provide signals to display devices. It covers a wide range from ultra-wide vacuums to ultra-high pressures.

Today’s advanced pressure sensors are more precise, consistent, and rugged than before. They are the best and suited for long-term use even in harsh situations. In this post, you will explore the advantages of Pisco Pressure Sensors. 

1. Capacitive: The capacitive sensors will display a capacitance when pressure is applied to the diaphragm and create an oscillator frequency. They can be highly sensitive and withstands large overloads. It has quite a lot of advantages over other types of pressure sensors. They have low power consumption due to having no DC current through the sensor element. The current only flows when the signal is passed through the circuit. It is simple to use. It is rugged with stable output suitable for harsh environments. 

Pros: 

• It is simple and robust. 
• Tolerate short-term overpressure conditions.
• Ideal for lower pressure and for harsh environments. 
• No DC flows through the capacitor. 
• Have-low temperature sensitivity. 

2.      Piezoelectric: Piezoelectric pressure sensors use properties such as quartz, Rochelle salt, and tourmaline to create a charge which is proportional to the force applied on the surface. The charge collects and scatters quickly as pressure changes. It allows the measurement of fast-changing dynamic pressure.

It is widely used for dynamic pressure measurement in engine combustion, turbulence, and in some medical applications. It can easily measure fast-changing dynamic pressures.

Pros:

• Small and sensitive.
• It requires very small deformation to generate an output.
• It is extremely robust and suitable for use in harsh environments. 
• Simple to construct from inexpensive materials. 

3.      Piezoresistive: This one is the earliest and most widely used type of pressure sensor. It takes advantage of changes in the resistivity of semiconductor materials. Hence, it can measure smaller pressure changes than metal sensors. They are wide use of pressure measurement and its output is stable over time.

Pros: 

• It is simple to construct
• It has low cost and higher durability.
• Circuits are very simple and high-resolution measurements.
• Operate to a higher temperature.
