Gas Pressure Sensor

Gas pressure sensors can be used to gauge altitude in aircraft, rockets or balloons. They’re frequently used in automotive design, from optimising engine function and controlling emissions to monitoring pressures in tyres and airbags, and even controlling inflatable air bolsters in dynamic seats. In industrial settings, they can be used to measure the speed with which gas is flowing (sometimes known as ‘impact pressure’), to confirm that suction is present, to manage source pressures or to test for leaks.

Product descriptions:

Gas pressure sensors are designed (or can be configured) to measure gas pressure in different ways.

Gauge pressure is measured in relation to the surrounding atmospheric pressure. Atmospheric pressure is around 100kPa (14.7 PSI) at sea level. The sensor built into air pumps for tyres measures pressure in this way, showing the air pressure inside the tyre in relation to the local atmospheric pressure. A reading of zero indicates the pressures are equal inside and out.
A sealed gas pressure sensor is similar to a gauge gas pressure sensor but has been pre-calibrated to measure gas pressure in relation to sea-level atmospheric pressure. So its readings won’t change if the unit is taken to a different altitude or location.
Vacuum pressure is the measure of the negative difference between the gas pressure at a given location and atmospheric pressure.
Absolute gas pressure is measured from zero, or a perfect vacuum (0 PSI). Again, unlike gauge pressure, this isn’t affected by the conditions around the unit, which can vary with changes in altitude and other factors.
Differential pressure is the difference between two gas pressures – for example, those in two gas hoses connected to the sensor. As with gauge pressure, the sensor may be able to measure changes of gas pressure in either direction (that is, positive or negative differences).

Beyond the different types of measurement, some gas pressure sensors are also designed to measure rapid pressure changes in dynamic environments, such as combustion pressure in an engine cylinder or a gas turbine.
