Barometric Pressure Sensor Guide in Pakistan

A pressure sensor works by converting pressure into an analog electrical signal. When pressure sensing technologies were first manufactured they were mechanical and used Bourdon tube gauges to move a needle and give a visual indication of pressure.

This pressure sensor module has a measurement range of 0-5.8 psi. The unit psi is an imperial measurement that stands for pounds per square inch. If the psi unit is converted to the SI unit Pascal (PA), then the measurement range of the pressure sensor denotes 0-40 kpa (1 psi is equal to about 6894.76 Pascal)

What are Pressure Sensors used for??

Pressure sensors are used in a range of industries, including the automotive industry, Biomedical Instrumentation, aviation and the marine industry, to name a few.

In Consumer applications, The things we use, carry, and wear on a daily basis are growing in intelligence. Adding a pressure sensor to a consumer device can provide new information for an improved user experience.

Take vacuum cleaners for example. By measuring suction changes, they can detect what kind of flooring is being cleaned and adjust settings accordingly, or notify their owners when a filter needs replacing.

In Automobiles, hydraulic brakes are a crucial component in passenger safety. The ability to control a vehicle using brakes is down to a complex blend of components, including pressure sensors. These can be used to monitor pressure within the chambers of the braking system, alerting drivers and engine management systems alike if pressures are too low to be effective. If the pressure inside chambers is not measured, systems can fail without the driver knowing and lead to a sudden loss of braking efficacy and accidents.

In Medical applications, Raising the air pressure in a sealed chamber containing a patient is known as hyperbaric therapy. It can be effective for treating a number of medical conditions, from skin grafts, burn injuries and carbon monoxide poisoning to decompression sickness experienced by divers.

Measuring blood pressure correctly is crucial to patient care, as errors in readings can lead to a misdiagnosis. Thanks to recent innovations, tiny pressure sensors can even be implanted into the body, known as In Vivo Blood Pressure Sensing for more accurate monitoring
