With the rise in smart watches and navigation systems, absolute pressure sensors find homes wherever elevation above sea level (altimeter measurement) is required. Weather stations also use them for barometric pressure measurements.

Tips show how a Milli voltage-output pressure sensor, Voltage-output pressure transducer or Current-output pressure transmitter be connected to a programmable logic controller (PLC) or meter to monitor pressure in a typical industrial equipment or process control application.

Industrial pressure sensors also referred to as pressure transducers, pressure transmitters, pressure indicators and pressure switches, normally have a diaphragm type design that uses strain gauges, which are either bonded to or diffused into it, with the strain gauges acting as resistive elements.

Terms of pressure sensor, pressure transducer and pressure transmitter are somewhat interchangeable in the industrial world. Pressure sensors can be described with a 4-20mA output signal and pressure transducers with a millivolt signal.

How to select the appropriate sensor When we provide sensing solutions, it is very important to choose the right products. There are so many kinds of sensors. Once the selection is not good, it will bring a lot of issues to the application.

How to select a suitable pressure sensor sometimes is a difficult decision. There are some tips for you. There are six common types of pressure sensor in our market, it's hard to say which one is best, but we can select a most suitable once upon our application and practical condition. we have a table to analyze their different performance and features.

In Hydraulic industry, when the control valves suddenly move, in a very short time there will be formed several times the system operating pressure peak impact pressure, this shock pressure easily damage the diaghram of pressure sensor. TM automation use all stainless steel welding technology to ensure sensor's excellent overloading capacity.

TM pressure transmitters applied in the chiller and air conditioning of Carrier and LG which are two most famous air conditioning manufacturer in the world.
