  A digital pressure gauge is an instrument used to measure the pressure of liquids and gases and then digitally display it. The transducer installed in the gauge converts the obtained pressure value into a digital reading. Pressure gauges find extensive application in industrial and automaton industries. Their application is gaining traction in new areas of healthcare and energy production. The display may be backlit and include various pressure related data collection and display functions, including data logging, min/max display, peak alarms, unit’s selection, tare function and more. Pressure gauge manufacturers are incorporating new and advanced technologies to gain a market edge. With the market brimming with a variety of pressure gauges, selecting any one gauge is very difficult. When the gauge is to be used in a hazardous environment, intrinsically safe certifications are available. We are laying out a list of steps that can help you in selecting the best digital pressure gauge:

  Pressure Transmitters are used to sense pressure and convert it into electrical signal. The conversion of Pressure in to electrical signal is achieved by change in resistance of the Wheatstone circuit of the strain gauge bonded on the diaphragm. The pressure applied causes deflection of the diaphragm which induces strain in the circuit. The resistance caused is proportional to the applied pressure and further converted in to Voltage or Current configurations. The term Transducer or Transmitters are often confused. Transducer is a term generally used where the analog output of the sensor is voltage, whereas the word Transmitter is used where the output of the sensor is current. Voltage configurations are conditioned outputs and are preferred to use on equipment and test stands due to their stability and Current configurations are preferred to use where the signal has to be transmitted to long distances. Pressure Transmitters are reliable and durable instruments and have wide usage acr
