Study Notes
Pressure Measuring Instruments
- The term "pressure transducer" is often used interchangeably with "pressure sensor" and "pressure transmitter".
Function of Pressure Instruments
- Pressure transducer, pressure transmitter, and pressure sensor all measure pressure and convert it into an electrical signal.
Alternative Names
- Electronic pressure measuring instruments are also known as pressure transducers, pressure sensors, pressure transmitters, and pressure indicators.
Transducer vs Transmitter
- The main difference between a pressure transducer and a pressure transmitter is that a transducer converts pressure into an electrical signal, while a transmitter amplifies and conditions the signal before transmitting it.
Legacy Term
- A legacy term for electronic pressure measuring instruments is "pressure indicators".
