In automotive applications, pressure sensors are used to measure the pressure of the engine oil, fuel, and air intake. They can also be used to measure the pressure of the brakes and tires. In industrial applications, pressure sensors are used to measure the pressure of hydraulic systems, pneumatic systems, and process lines. In medical applications, pressure sensors are used to measure the blood pressure, intracranial pressure, and airway pressure.
There are a variety of different types of pressure sensors, each with its own advantages and disadvantages. The most common type of pressure sensor is the strain gauge pressure sensor. Strain gauge pressure sensors use a strain gauge to measure the deformation of a diaphragm that is exposed to the pressure being measured. Other types of pressure sensors include piezoelectric pressure sensors, capacitive pressure sensors, and resonant pressure sensors.
Pressure sensors are an important part of many electronic systems. They provide a way to measure the pressure of a fluid or gas and convert it into an electrical signal that can be used for control purposes.
