Again and again, we are asked the question about the difference between an absolute pressure measurement and a gauge pressure measurement. To answer this question it helps to look at the definition of gauge pressure and absolute pressure. The difference between the two …

Repeatability or non-repeatability?
| Michèle Beyer | Know-howAs a product manager, you sometimes face the challenge of making decisions for which there is no “right” or “wrong”. What sounds very philosophical at first has a very real background. The repeatability or, indeed, non-repeatability of a pressure switch …
Signal clamping in pressure transmitters
| Michèle Beyer | Know-howIn certain applications, the current or voltage signal of a pressure transmitter must not exceed and/or drop below a critical value. This can be ensured with the aid of so-called signal limiting. If the pressure on a pressure transmitter lies within the nominal …
Hydrogen and pressure sensors – What must be observed?
| Michèle Beyer | ApplicationsWhen pressure sensors come into contact with hydrogen, this often results in difficulties. Unfortunately, I very often notice in my job that our customers are not aware of this prior to use. This is why they often do not even tell us that their medium contains …
What does maximum operating pressure or working pressure mean with pressure sensors?
| Michèle Beyer | Know-howOur customers like to talk about a maximum operating pressure or working pressure. Unfortunately, these two terms are not defined for pressure sensors, which means that a definitive answer cannot be given. All we can assume is that, by maximum operating pressure or …
