We see from your search that you're looking for information on the term "Pressure Sensors",
and we have a large number of manufacturers' news releases and technical articles here on Engineeringtalk which will be of interest.
Let me be your guide.
Start with
the news release Pressure transmitters handle high temperatures from
Gefran SIEI UK, which we summarised at the time by saying "Gefran's Impact pressure transmitters produce a silicon on insulator (SOI) sensing element that allows a process contact membrane of up to 15 times the thickness of traditional melt pressure
sensors".
Earlier in the week,
we featured the news release Safety controller input reduces complexity from
Pilz Automation Technology: "Status is indicated via LEDs on the front of the analogue input module and, if installed, via the PVIS 'intelligent diagnostics' system and a Pilz PMImicro diagnostic display".
In December 2007, we covered the news from Presens
concerning its Precise
- take a look at Possibly the best pressure sensor ever made
which says: "Pressure sensor based on advanced digital MEMS technology is ideal for applications that require high accuracy, low drift and high resolution".
Take a look also at the news release from TTI Europe, Airflow sensor isn't so dusty,
as well as Space technology for high-temperature sensors from Endevco,
and Pressure sensors are made for motorsports from Impress Sensors and Systems.
