Piezoresistive (diaphragm-based) differential pressure sensors based on silicon comprise a thin silicon diaphragm in which resistors (connected together in a Wheatstone bridge) are lodged. If there is ...

Most engineers understand the concept of pressure. It’s a force, often measured in pounds, on a specific area. It is commonly listed in pounds per square inch (psi). But there are a variety of ...

The flow of all fluids, whether liquid or gas, will have one of three states: laminar, turbulent, and transitional. This article discusses flow principles and pressure-based flow measurement. Laminar ...

Some of the applications mentioned here require a room that maintains a higher or lower pressure compared to the surrounding ambient environment. If the isolated room has greater air pressure, it is ...

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 ...

What’s that smell? From procedures as complicated as those involved in electrolysis to more commonly understood tasks like coffee roasting, many industrial processes create byproducts that we do not ...

The engine test stands used with advanced data-acquisition systems require a different type of pressure sensor than those used in the past. Engine hydraulics and pneumatics operate faster and often, ...

With dimensions of just 5×8×5-mm, the SDP3x differential pressure sensor from Sensirion opens up countless new application possibilities. The device, which is among the smallest of its kind, is ...
