Although there are various types of pressure transducers, one of the most common is the strain-gage base transducer. The conversion of pressure into an electrical signal is achieved by the physical deformation of strain gages that are bonded into the diaphragm of the pressure transducer and wired into a wheatstone bridge configuration. Pressure applied to the pressure transducer produces a deflection of the diaphragm that introduces strain to the gages. The strain will produce an electrical resistance change proportional to the pressure.[Sumamry by Omega.com.]Group: Instrument_Details Entry_ID: PRESSURE TRANSDUCERS Group: Instrument_Identification Instrument_Category: In Situ/Laboratory Instruments Instrument_Class: Pressure/Height Meters Short_Name: PRESSURE TRANSDUCERS End_Group Group: Associated_Platforms Short_Name: DC-8 Short_Name: AIRCRAFT End_GroupEnd_Group 2021-08-05 16:46:20.0
