Excessively high temperatures are a common source of pressure transducer difficulties.

Like most other electronic equipment, pressure transducers are effected by temperature, shock and vibrations. They consist of numerous components that only function within specified temperature ranges. Transducers exposed to temperatures exceeding those ranges during the assembly process can be adversely affected.

On the heels of an economic crisis, the President of the United States signed the American Recovery & Reinvestment Act (ARRA) in 2009 with the goal of:

Capacitive pressure transducers have earned a reputation for consistently high accuracy and unmatched long-term stability. These sensors find broad application in areas where characteristics rate from important to vital. A few of these include:

Capacitance based pressure transducers provide many benefits over other technologies. 8 features that should be considered when choosing a pressure transducer are accuracy, minimal mechanical motion, range capabilities, long term stability, high-level output, media compatibility, electromagnetic compatibility and resistant to harsh environments..

Often we hear terms used to describe pressure transducers or terms commonly used in the HVAC/R and industrial industries, but there may be some confusion as to their meaning. Here are a few commonly used terms and their definitions.
