Process pressure measurement

Pressure sensors detect the pressure in pipes or closed vessels. Inside the sensor, the deflection of a membrane is converted into a measuring signal. Different measuring cells are used for pressure detection.

The advantages

Ceramic measuring cells offer the advantage of excellent long-term stability and high overload resistance. Metallic measuring cells also cover higher measuring ranges.

Measuring principle
The pressure measuring cell is the heart of the pressure transmitter converting the pressure into an electrical signal. This pressuredependent signal is converted by the integrated electronics into a standardized output signal. Different sensors are used for pressure measurement. The ceramic cells have the advantages of excellent longterm stability with high overload resistance. The metal cells cover higher measuring ranges and use stainless steel as diaphragm material.
