Description

The MPX10 series device is a silicon piezoresistive pressure sensor providing a very accurate and linear voltage output directly proportional to the applied pressure. This standard, low cost, uncompensated sensor permits manufacturers to design and add their own external temperature compensation and signal conditioning networks. Compensation techniques are simplified because of the predictability of NXP's single element strain gauge design.

FAQ

What is a pressure sensor used for?

A pressure sensor is an electronic device that detects, regulates, or monitors pressure, and converts perceived physical data into an electronic signal.

How do you calibrate a pressure sensor?

1.Once it is properly set up and has stabilized, pump the necessary pressure.

2.Supply an increasing pressure. S imulate at least 5 setpoints covering the entire range.

3.Then apply pressure in decreasing order once the maximum pressure is reached.

4.Record in your Measurement Data Sheet.

What is the difference between pressure sensor and force sensor?

Force and pressure sensors are engineered with the same high technology, thin film strain gauge design. Available in similar materials as well, the main difference in the sensors is what the sensor is measuring and how it is doing so.
