Pressure Sensor Care and Maintenance Dyniscopressure Transducer Question: How can a transducer be defined? Answer: A transducer is a device with the capacity to convert one kind of energy to another. This conversion can be to/from electrical, electro-mechanical, electromagnetic, photonic, photovoltaic, or any other form of energy. Example: Via electromagnetic conversion, a guitar amplifier takes the vibrations of the guitar’s strings and converts this to a sound frequency that is heard through the speaker. Transducer Technology Question: How does a pressure transducer function? Answer: By integrating the foil strain gauge, a filled capillary and diaphragms to acquire a controlled pressure change which is electronically converted to signal output, that is then scaled to a distinct pressure range.
