Piezoresistive pressure sensors can be classified in terms of pressure ranges they measure, temperature ranges of operation, and most importantly the type of pressure they measure. In terms of pressure type, pressure sensors can be divided into five categories: Absolute piezoresistive pressure transducer This transducer measures the pressure relative to perfect vacuum pressure (0 PSI…

To select the right pressure sensor for a specific application besides the pressure range first of all the type of pressure measurement has to be considered. Pressure sensors measure a certain pressure in comparison to a reference pressure and can be divided into absolute, gauge and differential devices. These terms will be explained on the…
