Article Guides Users in Pressure Sensor Selection and Use

July 15th, 2005

I love reading articles on measurement. Maybe that’s one reason I liked working for Test&Measurement World so much. When I was an editor there, we started a series called the “Basic Measurement Series” that covered topics such as four-wire resistance measurements and low-voltage measurements.

In that vein, is the article, “Choosing, Using, and Troubleshooting Your Piezoelectric Pressure Sensor” in the July issue of Sensors Magazine. By asking the reader a series of questions, it prompts him or her through the process of choosing the right sensor for the application.

The questions include:

• What’s the pressure to be measured?
• What’s the pressure medium?
• What accuracy do you need?
• What output signal do you want?
• Does the sensor need to be interchangeable?

Check it out if you’re doing any pressure measurement in your tests.
