Pressure sensors are used to measure the pressure level in patient wound-suction therapy. A key challenge faced by many designers is that wound-therapy devices are used for different critical care ...

Compact MEMS Pirani transducer combines thermal sensing and barometric measurement to deliver wide-range vacuum monitoring ...

Pressure is the amount of force applied per unit area. Pressure can be measured by a pressure gauge, but it is important to know the type of pressure the gauge is reading. This article will cover the ...

Posifa Technologies today introduced its new PVC4001-C MEMS Pirani vacuum transducer, the latest device in the company’s PVC4000 series. Designed for cost-effective OEM integration, the transducer ...

Cool idea: NIST’s Daniel Barker, Steve Eckel, Jim Fedchak, Julia Scherschligt and colleagues have developed and tested a technique that uses cold atoms to measure ultralow pressures. (Courtesy: NIST) ...

Highly accurate pressure sensors with long-term stability are necessary for fuel efficiency and reduction of harmful emissions. Increasingly demanding requirements of piezoresistive sensors include ...

THE torr has recently been adopted as the British standard unit for the measurement of pressure in vacuum physics; but the fact that proposals have been made for further change 1,2 indicates that the ...

There are essentially four different types of pressure measurement transmitters. Absolute pressure transmitters measure against a vacuum, meaning that if no pressure is applied, the reading would ...
