What is a Pressure Sensor?
Pressure sensors are precision instruments used to measure the force exerted by gases or liquids within a system. They are critical across industries such as water management, process manufacturing, energy, and pharmaceuticals, where accurate pressure monitoring ensures system safety, efficiency, and compliance.
How Do Pressure Sensors Work?
Pressure sensors detect changes in pressure and convert them into electrical signals. Depending on the type, they may use piezoresistive, capacitive, or strain gauge technology to monitor gauge, differential, or absolute pressure – providing reliable real-time data for process control, system protection, and performance optimisation.
Experts in Pressure Sensors & Measurement Solutions
Pressure sensors play a vital role in ensuring safe, efficient, and accurate process monitoring of gases and liquids across a wide range of industrial and commercial processes, based on pressure changes. At iCenta Controls, we specialise in pressure sensing technology, supplying a broad selection of transmitters, switches, and indicators – including differential, digital, and hygienic models.
Our product range includes trusted names like BD Sensors, Siemens, and our own Metri Measurements line, allowing us to support everything from general process control to high-precision, application-specific measurement. Whether you need robust performance in harsh environments or compliance in regulated sectors, iCenta delivers trusted pressure solutions backed by technical expertise.
Why Are Pressure Sensors Important?
Pressure sensors are critical for maintaining safety, efficiency, and control in a wide range of industrial and commercial processes. They help:
- Monitor system health by detecting pressure changes that may indicate leaks, blockages, or equipment failure.
- Maintain process accuracy by ensuring consistent pressure levels for optimal performance.
- Enhance safety by triggering alerts or shutdowns when pressure exceeds safe limits.
- Support automation through real-time data integration with control systems.
- Meet compliance standards by delivering accurate, traceable measurements.
Many of iCenta’s pressure sensors feature digital displays, advanced diagnostics, and remote monitoring, offering smart, reliable solutions for modern systems.
What Are the Different Types of Pressure Sensors?
At iCenta Controls, we provide a broad selection of pressure sensors designed to meet the needs of various applications, environments, and industries. Our most popular types include:
- Gauge Pressure Sensors: Measure pressure relative to atmospheric pressure, ideal for most industrial applications where atmospheric pressure is a reference.
- Absolute Pressure Sensors: Measure pressure relative to a perfect vacuum,(1013mBar ) providing precise readings in environments where reference pressure is crucial.
- Differential Pressure Sensors: Measure the difference in pressure between two points, often used for flow measurement, filter monitoring, or level measurement.
- Vacuum Pressure Sensors: Specifically designed to measure negative pressure, ideal for vacuum systems and applications requiring highly sensitive pressure detection.
- Hygienic Pressure Sensors: Designed for sanitary environments such as the food, beverage, and pharmaceutical industries, these sensors ensure compliance with cleanliness and sterilisation standards.
In What Industries Are Pressure Sensors Used?
Pressure sensors are critical for ensuring accurate and reliable monitoring of pressure levels in various industrial and commercial processes. They are commonly used in industries such as oil and gas, chemical processing, automotive, food and beverage, pharmaceuticals, and water treatment. Pressure sensors play a vital role in maintaining safety, efficiency, and process control across these sectors.
