Pressure Measurement
By: Alan S. Morris
Pressure
Absolute Pressure
Gauge Pressure
Differential Pressure
15.1 Diaphragms
elastic element pressure transducer
displacement of the diaphragm and this movement is measured by a
displacement transducer
absolute pressure(upto50bar) and gauge pressure (up to 2000bar)
used to measure differential pressure
The diaphragm can be either plastic, metal alloy, stainless steel or ceramic
The typical magnitude of diaphragm displacement is 0.1mm
monolithic piezo resistive pressure transducers
Such pressure transducers can be made to be very small and are often
known as micro-sensors
15.2 Capacitive pressure sensor
