Difference between a Pressure Switch and a Pressure Sensor
Pressure switches and pressure sensors are both commonly used process pressure measurement and control instruments.Pressure sensors continuously measure pressure, display
Sino-Inst has designed and manufactured pressure transmitters and sensors for many years, and we specify pressure measurement for customers across most process industries. Before choosing one, pin down the details that actually decide it: the medium and what it will touch, the pressure range and type (gauge, absolute or differential), process and ambient temperature, the accuracy you need, process connection and diaphragm material, output signal, hazardous-area rating, and your budget.
These guides cover the main pressure sensor types: how each technology works, where it suits the job, and where its limits are. They run across capacitive, piezoresistive, monocrystalline silicon, strain gauge and piezoelectric sensing, plus differential, high-temperature, cryogenic, melt and explosion-proof transmitters. Read alongside our product specifications, they should get you to the right instrument.
Or simply tell our sales engineers what you need to measure, and we will put a measurement solution together for you.

Hydraulic systems increase force by varying pressure. Hydraulic pressure transducers monitor system pressure in real time and convert pressure signals
Sensor technology is an indispensable part of modern industry, scientific research and daily life. Among them, air pressure sensors are
Compressed air is very common in industrial processes. Measuring the pressure of compressed air can ensure the safety of operators.
In the field of industrial process control, 4–20 mA pressure transmitters serve as core sensing devices. Thanks to their high
