What are the different types of pressure measurement methods and pressure-sensing technologies, and how do they work? This guide will help you understand the functions and capabilities of various pressure sensors.

In the U.S., FUTEK Advanced Sensor Technology (FUTEK) manufactures pressure sensors. They are a leading company in making pressure transducers, using some of the most advanced technology in the sensor industry, like metal foil strain gauge technology. A pressure sensor is basically a device that changes mechanical pressure into an electrical signal. There are many types of pressure sensors, which vary by size, capacity, measurement method, sensing technology, and output needs.
