Pressure sensor
Pressure sensors are used to measure/monitor the physical variable of pressure. Among other things, pressure sensors make it possible to measure static pressures, pressure fluctuations and pressure differentials of fluids. This allows switching functions to be assigned to specific pressures, and can also be utilized to assign a measuring transducer or transmitter function to a defined pressure range, with a specific pressure from this range being assigned to an analog electrical output signal.
