Transducers are engineering devices that translate one form of energy to another. Pressure transducers, otherwise known as a pressure transmitter, are transducers that convert pressure into an electric signal. For their functionality, the
strain gauge of the transducer undergoes pressure from a diaphragm deflecting during operation, and then electrical resistance adjusts in response to the amount of pressure exerted.
Transducer pressure output can be millivolt, voltage, or 4-20 mA. There are also four main types of pressure transducers including strain gauge, capacitance, potentiometric, and resonant wire. When choosing which transducers are best for your intended application, you should consider factors such as the pressure range, temperature range of installation area, desired accuracy, and output type.
Within the realm of aerospace and aircraft, pressure transducers are beneficial for testing aircraft before the manufacturing process is finalized. They are also used for monitoring and controlling aircraft systems such as
cabin air pressure, engine oil pressure, fuel levels, anti-lock braking, engine bleed air, air filtration, and beyond. With these many uses, having top-of-the-line pressure transducers installed in your aircraft is highly beneficial.
