Differential Pressure Transducers
Differential pressure transducers are instruments that detect fluid pressure and produce an electrical, mechanical, or pneumatic signal in response. Generally, pressure transducers have a cylindrical body with a pipe fitting on one side and a cable coming out of the other. A differential pressure transducer is just like a normal pressure transducer, except that it has pressure gauges on both sides instead of just one. The additional input allows differential sensors to measure the difference between two or more pressure inputs in the unit.
Pressure transducers are very similar to pressure sensors and transmitters; they differ in the kind of electrical signal that they send out. Transducers send signal in volts while senders and transmitters emit signals in milliamps.
Stainless steel is used in most differential pressure transducers because of its strength, durability, and resistance to corrosion. Differential pressure transducers are used by a wide assortment of industries, including medical, hydraulics, aerospace, and automotive. They are also widely used in factories to monitor machinery.
