Understanding the difference between gauge and absolute pressure sensing measurements is easiest to visualize with piezoresistive type pressure sensor and a diaphragm that deflects with pressure. For both types of measurements, pressure is applied to the top of the thin diaphragm. With the gauge pressure sensor, the back side is vented to atmosphere. This could […]
Expanding MEMS pressure sensor applications with Parylene
By Amphenol All Sensors Corporation Microelectromechanical systems (MEMS) pressure sensor descriptions often include a statement such as “intended for use with non-corrosive, non-ionic working fluids such as air or dry gases.” Following this guideline, users can expect a long working life for a MEMS pressure sensor. But what if the application does not fall within…
Low Pressure Filtering of a Pressure Sensor’s Input
The Problem In some applications, high-frequency pressure transients may be present that distort the sensor’s output and degrade its ability to read the underlying changes in pressure. This can especially be a problem in low-pressure applications, such as medical measurements where discerning subtle differences is essential to successful diagnosis and monitoring. A common, well-known solution […]
What’s new in low pressure sensing?
At Sensors Expo 2018, Dale Dauenhauer, the General Manager of All Sensors explains All Sensors’ role now that the company is part of the Sensor Group at Amphenol Corporation. All Sensors was acquired for its low pressure sensing technology. As part of Amphenol, their activities will mainly be focused into the medical market in applications […]
Choosing the Right Sensors for Industrial Applications
Industrial sensing applications require special design considerations to address technical challenges. One of the main criteria that a user has to consider is the choice of technology used for the sensor. However, this is just the start. By watching this 1-hour webinar, you will gain a better understanding of the key factors necessary to make…
