Functions of Medical Pressure Sensors

Pressure sensing technology is increasingly utilized in industrial control, and in many medical pressure sensor control processes, it is often necessary to collect pressure signals and convert them into electrical signals for automated control. Many people want to understand the types of medical pressure sensors, their reliability, and additional requirements such as range ratio and bus type, which depend on the transmitter’s structural design, machining process, and materials. Below, we outline the key functions of medical pressure sensors.

1. Use in Weighing Systems

Medical pressure sensors are commonly used in pressure control devices known as electronic weighing systems. These systems are increasingly vital as online control tools for material flow in various industrial processes. Medical pressure sensors can be integrated into product manufacturing to optimize production and improve product quality. Additionally, they collect data on material flow during production and transmit it to data processing centers for online inventory control and financial settlement.

2. Use in the Petrochemical Industry  

Medical pressure sensors are among the most widely used measurement devices in the petrochemical industry’s automated control systems. In large-scale chemical projects, nearly all types of pressure sensor applications are involved, including remote flange-type pressure sensors made from various materials and specialized processing. The petrochemical industry primarily demands reliability, stability, and high precision from pressure sensors.

3. Use in Water Treatment

In water supply and wastewater treatment processes, medical pressure sensors provide critical control and monitoring methods for maintenance and quality assurance. These sensors produce minimal elastic deformation, with single-crystal silicon being an ideal elastic material due to its strict proportional relationship between deformation and pressure, as well as its excellent recovery properties. Pressure sensors are devices that sense pressure signals and convert them into usable electrical output signals according to specific principles.

In summary, the functions of pressure sensors include their use in weighing systems, the petrochemical industry, and water treatment. According to the application descriptions of medical pressure sensors, they convert pressure into electrical signals, which can also be used to measure the liquid level of static fluids, making them suitable for liquid level measurement.
