The response time behaviour of pressure sensors: How is the response time defined and what is the definition of the rise time?

Enrico Bossart | Pressure
image of response-time behavior

The response time of pressure sensors is reflected in a large number of varying parameters, such as the response time, settling time or rise time in specifications or data sheets. In general, it can be assumed that the response time is defined as the interval required …

What exactly is a level probe / submersible pressure transmitter?

Sabine Mai | Level
submersible pressure transmitter from WIKA

The submersible pressure transmitter, sometimes also referred to as a level probe, is a special type of pressure sensor used for level measurements in e.g. tanks, wells, shafts and bore holes. For level measurements, the level probe is submersed directly into the …

Pressure sensor principles – a comparison

Sabine Mai | Pressure
Comparison Pressure Sensor Principles

There is no “ideal” sensor principle. Of particularly great importance and widespread use are resistive sensor technologies, due to their reliability. For electronic pressure sensors, WIKA is using metal thin-film and piezo-resistive sensors. Each of the two …

Difference of 4-20 mA in 2-wire and 3-wire technology in pressure sensors

Michèle Beyer | Pressure

What exactly is the difference between the 4-20 mA output signal in 2- and 3-wire technology? This question is answered best from the viewpoint of the user: An output signal in 2-wire technology means: less wiring required better EMC protection, since …

Accuracy of pressure sensors – what ”precisely” does this mean?

Sabine Mai | Pressure
Characteristics: Accuracy of pressure sensors

How is the accuracy of pressure sensors actually defined? The deviation of the actual characteristic curve from the ideal one is often referred to as “accuracy”. However, the term itself cannot be found in any national or international standard. This means that …
