Deadweight testingDeadweight testing
Pressure is defined as force per unit area. Dead-Weight Pressure Testers use these measurements of force and area to produce a pressure to calibrate instrument with great accuracy. The force is derived from weights and the area is that of a piston in a cylinder

A diaphragm is a sheet of a semi-flexible material anchored at its periphery and most often round in shape. It serves either as a barrier between two chambers, moving slightly up into one chamber or down into the other depending on differences in pressure, or as a device that vibrates when certain frequencies are applied to it

• Sensors to be deposited directly onto conductive and non-conductive components. No mounting cements or adhesives needed.
• Minimal process intrusion. Structural modifications of components typically not necessary. Will not disrupt gas flows.
• Fast time response. Adds neglible amount of mass to system and made with thermally conductive materials.
• Harsh environment capability. Can be made to withstand temperatures in excess of 1000oC.
• Sensors to be placed on 3 dimensional parts. Thin film conductive traces can route leads around corners and edges.

ELECTRONIC PRESSURE SENSORS : ELECTRONIC PRESSURE SENSORS : Resonant wireResonant wire
A wire is gripped by a static member at one end, and by the sensing diaphragm at the other. An oscillator circuit causes the wire to oscillate at its resonant frequency. A change in process pressure changes the wire tension, which in turn changes the resonant frequency of the wire. A digital counter circuit detects the shift. Because this change in frequency can be detected quite precisely, this type of transducer can be used for low differential pressure applications as well as to detect absolute and gauge pressures.

A piezoelectric sensor is a device that uses the piezoelectric effect to measure pressure,acceleration, strain or force by converting them to an electrical signal. It measures dynamic pressures. They are generally not suited for static pressure measurements

McLeod gage
A McLeod gauge is a scientific instrument to measure very low pressures, down to 10-7 Torr.The torr (symbol: Torr), defined as 1/760 atm.
1 Torr; ≈ 1 mmHg
Today, these gauges have largely been replaced by electronic vacuum gauges. McLeod gaugescontinue to be used as a calibration standard for electronic gauges
LOW PRESSURE MEASUREMENTLOW PRESSURE MEASUREMENT
Pirani gageThermocouple gage
Thermal Conductivity gauges rely on the fact that the ability of a gas to conduct heatdecreases with pressure*. In this type of gauge, a wire filament is heated by running currentthrough it. A thermocouple or Resistance Temperature Detector (RTD) can then be used tomeasure the temperature of the filament. This temperature is dependent on the rate at whichthe filament loses heat to the surrounding gas, and therefore on the thermal conductivity. A common variant is the Pirani gauge which uses a single platinum filament as both the heatedelement and RTD. These gauges are accurate from 10 Torr to 10−3 Torr.
*If the gas pressure is reduced, the cooling effect will decrease

Fill Fluid : The fill fluid will affect the safety of process, accuracy and response time of the measurement. The following four points need to be considered:
• Temperature limitations• Expansion coefficient• Process compatibilty• Viscoscity
Temperature Effects : Three variables can be changed to reduce the errors caused by temperature effects
• Diameter of capillary• Choice of fill fluid• Diaphragm size
