There are great differences in the skills, design, function and adaptability of pressure sensors, as well as the conditions and price of pressure sensors. According to preliminary estimates, there are more than 60 types of pressure sensors in the world and at least 300 companies produce pressure sensors.

                              Classification of pressure sensors

Pressure sensors can be classified by the size of the pressure they can measure, the operating temperature and the type of pressure; The most important of these is the type of pressure. If the classification method according to the type of pressure, pressure sensors can be divided into the following five categories:

(1) **Pressure sensor:

This type of pressure sensor measures the true pressure of the fluid, which is relative to the pressure at the vacuum pressure. The definite atmospheric pressure at sea level is 101.325 kPa (14.7?). PSI)。

(2) gauge pressure sensor:

This type of pressure sensor is able to measure the pressure relative to atmospheric pressure at a given position, such as a tire pressure gauge, when the tire pressure gauge shows a reading of 0 PSI, indicating that the pressure inside the tire is equal to the atmospheric pressure, which is 14.7 PSI.

(3) Vacuum pressure sensor:

This type of pressure sensor is used to measure the pressure of less than one atmosphere, and some vacuum pressure sensors in the industry read relative to one atmosphere (the reading value is negative), while some are based on their positive pressure.

(4) Differential pressure gauge:

This instrument is used to measure the pressure difference between two pressures, for example, to measure the pressure difference between the two ends of an oil filter, and the differential pressure gauge is also used to measure the flow rate or to measure the liquid level height in a pressure vessel.

(5) Sealed pressure sensor:

This instrument is similar to a gauge pressure sensor, but it is specially calibrated to measure the pressure relative to sea level.
