Pressure Sensing Technologies

Viatran builds pressure transmitters with four distinct pressure sensing technologies. We analyze the needs of an application and choose the technology that best serves the application. The four technologies are bonded foil strain gage, gage, silicon, and piezoresistive, ceramic piezoresistive, and variable capacitance. Each one is best suited for different applications and has its own advantages and limitations. We will briefly describe and explain them here.
