Accuracy of Pressure Transmitters
According to the International Electro technical Commission (IEC), the accuracy of a pressure sensor indicates the maximum positive or negative deviation from the ideal characteristic curve obtained by testing a device under certain conditions and processes. In other words, it represents the maximum difference between the actual value and the value reported (measured) by the device.

Measuring Principle of Pressure Sensors
Pressure sensing devices detect the changes in the pressure in gasses or liquids and convert them with high accuracy to an electrical output signal that is proportional to the pressure. This electrical output signal is used to represent the magnitude of the pressure. Electronic pressure sensors use
several different technologies or sensing principles capable of converting pressure into a measurable and standardized electrical signal. The pressure sensor technology used in a pressure sensor

Types of Pressure (Absolute Pressure, Gauge Pressure, Differential Pressure)
Pressure measurement is only done when compared to another known pressure. This pressure is defined as the reference pressure for measuring pressure in a standard way. This device provides a pressure reference to compare the pressure of a device under test during a calibration.
Also, it can be defined as the pressure present on the reverse or negative side of a pressure sensing device. Depending on what the reference pressure is, there are three modes: absolute, gauge, and differe

Pressure Range Explanation in Pressure Sensors
Pressure Range
The pressure Range is the maximum or the
lowest to the highest value of pressure that a pressure sensor can measure accurately.
For example, if you have a
pressure sensor with a 1000 psi maximum range, it can not read the pressure values beyond 1000 psi.
Therefore, as a general rule, it is better to choose a pressure sensor that gives 40% to 50% more than the maximum rated pressure. Its benefit is that the sensor will perform better because it doesn’t

Pressure Sensor [Pressure Transducer, Pressure Transmitter, Pressure Switch, Pressure Gauge, Difference between all Terms]
In most industrial processes, control, detection, and measurement of pressure are very important. A
pressure sensor is a comprehensive term used to describe any instrument that can detect and/or measure pressure. A pressure sensor is an instrument that detects a force exerted on a surface (pressure) and converts an mechanical pressure input in gasses or liquids into an electrical and industry-standard signal.
This sensor is made of a
pressure-sensitive eleme
