Pressure is the amount of force applied per unit area. Pressure can be measured by a pressure gauge, but it is important to know the type of pressure the gauge is reading. This article will cover the ...

Distinguishing between pressure sensors can be challenging. The widespread use of synonymous terminologies like transducer, sensor, and transmitter only compounds the issue and makes pressure sensor ...

When referring to absolute pressure, psia is used to label the pressure’s magnitude, and psig labels the pressure’s magnitude when referring to gauge pressure. Any time pressures are used in a ...

The MLX90808 is a fully integrated absolute pressure sensor realized with standard CMOS technology in combination with MEMS bulk micromachining. The MLX90807 and MLX90808 are fully integrated relative ...

Tokyo, Japan — Alps Electric has developed a capacitance-type pressure sensor in a 4.8 x 4.8 x 1.8-mm footprint to detect absolute pressure. Key applications for the HSPC series sensors include ...

Most engineers understand the concept of pressure. It’s a force, often measured in pounds, on a specific area. It is commonly listed in pounds per square inch (psi). But there are a variety of ...
