PRESSURE SENSORS

PRESSURE SENSORS

Pressure sensors are defined as electro-mechanical devices that detect the pressure of a gas or a liquid and transform the movement of an element or diaphragm incorporated in the sensor into an electric current or voltage which is output from the device. Pressure sensors distributed by Bristol Instruments are made in dozens of different configurations to measure the widest range of pressures. Our sensors include models specifically for heavy duty industrial, high accuracy and sanitary sensors for food, beverage and pharmaceutical applications.
