There is no “ideal” sensor principle. Of particularly great importance and widespread use are resistive sensor technologies, due to their reliability. For electronic pressure sensors, WIKA is using metal thin-film and piezo-resistive sensors.
Each of the two resistive sensor principle has its specific advantages and drawbacks in terms of the possible measuring ranges, the overpressure behaviour or the performance under the influence of temperature changes.
In WIKA’s electronic pressure sensors, the best fitting sensor principles are selected and used exactly tailored to each application. For special applications, our Customer Support offers competent support regarding the selection.
