Pressure Measurement

Reliable pressure measurement is essential for monitoring gases and liquids in countless applications, including process automation and fluid dynamics, aerospace, automotive and medical devices. With custom-designed sensors for OEM integration, you get a compact and precise solution built to fit your product's specific architecture.

One of the most common methods involves strain gauge pressure sensors, which work by measuring diaphragm deformation under pressure to deliver high accuracy and robust performance across a wide range of pressures. 

For applications demanding a smaller footprint and lower power consumption, MEMS (Micro-Electro-Mechanical Systems) pressure sensors are an ideal choice. Using miniaturized structures on silicon chips, they offer high sensitivity and are perfectly suited for portable and embedded systems.

Choosing the right presure sensor requires evaluating the type of pressure (absolute, gauge, or differential), measurement range, fluid compatibility, and operating conditions. A custom approach ensures that pressure becomes a reliable metric for performance and control in even the most complex OEM systems.
