P-8505 Series, Pressure Sensors, Transducers

Pressure sensors or transducers play a crucial role in detecting and accurately responding to the presence or variations in applied force. These devices are specifically designed to measure different types of pressure, including Absolute, Compound, Differential, Gauge, Sealed Gauge, Switch, Vacuum, and Vented Gauge. They are capable of operating within a wide range of pressures, spanning from -100PSI (-689.48kPa) to 20000PSI (137895.15kPa). Absolute pressure sensors are engineered to measure pressure relative to a perfect vacuum, providing an accurate indication of the absolute pressure at a given point. Compound pressure sensors, on the other hand, are designed to measure both positive and negative pressures, making them suitable for applications where pressure variations can occur in either direction. Differential pressure sensors are utilized to determine the difference in pressure between two points, enabling the measurement of pressure variances across various systems and components. Gauge pressure sensors, on the other hand, measure pressure relative to atmospheric pressure, providing an indication of the pressure above or below atmospheric levels. Sealed gauge pressure sensors are specifically designed to reference pressure against a fixed reference point, ensuring accurate measurements relative to a specific atmospheric pressure or another predetermined reference pressure. Switch pressure sensors are equipped with a threshold mechanism that triggers a response when the pressure exceeds or falls below a predefined set value, making them ideal for applications requiring pressure-based control or alarm systems. Vacuum pressure sensors are engineered to measure pressures below atmospheric levels, while vented gauge pressure sensors provide accurate measurements relative to a reference pressure, typically vented to atmospheric conditions. These pressure sensors or transducers are essential components used in a wide range of industries and applications, including manufacturing, automotive, aerospace, and process control. They contribute to the precise monitoring, control, and safety of systems by delivering accurate pressure measurements, facilitating efficient operation and preventing potential issues caused by excessive or insufficient pressure. In summary, pressure sensors or transducers are designed to detect and respond to force variations. They encompass various pressure types and operate within a broad pressure range, catering to diverse industrial applications. These sensors play a pivotal role in ensuring accurate pressure measurements, enabling efficient system operation and enhancing safety in numerous industries.
