Pressure Sensors Transducers: PS80-K1-0359 Application Field and Working Principle

Pressure sensors are special transducers that measure pressure or fluid level. Pressure is defined as the force exerted by a fluid on an object, area or volume. It is expressed in units of pressure, such as bar, PSI, or pressure-level, such as inches of water. Transducers are devices that convert electrical signals to measurable physical quantities. Pressure sensors transducers are one type of transducers and could be used to measure, regulate, and control pressure in many applications.
