Pressure sensor, pressure transducer, and pressure transmitter — what’s the difference? In this video, we break down these commonly used terms and explain how electronic pressure measuring instruments work.
Learn how pressure sensors convert physical pressure into an electronic output signal, the role of pressure transducers and transmitters, and how signal amplification, linearization, and compensation impact performance. We also explain current-to-pressure (I/P) and pressure-to-current (P/I) converters and where they’re used in industrial applications.
You’ll see examples of WIKA pressure instruments, including transducers with non-amplified outputs and transmitters with amplified signals, and gain insight into how to choose the right pressure measurement device for your application. Key selection factors such as accuracy, pressure range, operating temperature, and media compatibility are covered.
Whether you’re designing a new system or upgrading existing instrumentation, this video helps you understand which pressure sensor solution best fits your needs.
