Pressure sensors vary widely by principle and application:

  • Resistive Sensors: Ideal for low-pressure ranges (e.g., US381-000002-001BA), using strain gauges for 0–25 kPa measurements6.

  • Optical Sensors: Suitable for extreme environments (e.g., combustion chambers), leveraging quartz Bourdon tubes for 0–500 MPa ranges6.

  • Calibration Solutions:

    • JOFRA handheld calibrators for field testing12.

    • Drop-weight systems (TUBITAK UME) for 400 MPa dynamic pressures1.
