Absolute pressure sensors are engineered to measure pressure in relation to a perfect vacuum (0 PSI absolute). This distinction is critical in applications where the reference point must be absolute zero, rather than the fluctuating atmospheric pressure used in gauge pressure sensors.

Applications

  • Leak Testing: By measuring pressure relative to a vacuum, absolute pressure sensors detect leaks in systems independently of changes in atmospheric pressure, ensuring the integrity of sealed environments.
  • Barometric Compensation: In applications sensitive to atmospheric pressure fluctuations, absolute pressure sensors provide accurate readings by factoring in barometric changes. This is crucial for altitude measurements, weather monitoring, and process control systems.
  • Atmospheric Pressure Measurement: These sensors directly measure the pressure exerted by the atmosphere, aiding in meteorological studies, aviation instrumentation, and environmental monitoring.
  • Industrial Processes: Absolute pressure sensors monitor and control vacuum levels in manufacturing processes, ensuring product quality and process efficiency. They are used in leak detection systems, vacuum packaging, and distillation processes.
  • Scientific Research: These sensors play a crucial role in scientific experiments requiring precise pressure measurements, such as vacuum chambers, gas analysis, and material characterization.
  • Environmental Monitoring: Absolute pressure sensors are used in weather stations to measure barometric pressure, contributing to accurate weather forecasting and climate studies.
  • Offshore Research & Exploration: Certain absolute pressure sensors are designed for underwater use, measuring pressure relative to a vacuum at significant depths. They play a crucial role in oceanographic research and subsea exploration.

Output Options

Absolute pressure sensors offer a range of output options to suit different system requirements.

  • Millivolt Output: Provides a low-level voltage signal directly proportional to the applied pressure, commonly used with data acquisition systems and signal conditioners.
  • Amplified Voltage Output: Delivers a higher-level voltage signal for easier integration with control systems and process instrumentation.
  • Current Loop Output: Offers a 4-20 mA current signal, widely used in industrial automation for its inherent noise immunity and long-distance transmission capabilities.
  • Digital Output: Provides pressure readings in digital format, typically via RS-232, RS-485, or I2C interfaces, enabling direct communication with computers and PLCs.
