This interactive graphic provides a brief overview of the key components of the pressure transmitter. Click on the red dot to learn more about the item.

A pressure transmitter is a commonly used device that converts the pressure value into an appropriate output signal. The signal from the pressure transmitter is read and forwarded to the control system. In times of shrinking fossil fuel resources, looking for alternative energy sources is a necessity. Hence the increasing popularity of hydrogen, which is the most common element in the Universe and one of the most common elements on Earth. However, not every pressure transmitter can be used to work with hydrogen. Why is it like that? Which sensor technology in the pressure transmitter is best for this medium? We answer these questions below.

A pressure switch is a device that monitors the pressure in the system and automatically responds to changes in pressure, turning on or off devices depending on the set pressure thresholds. Pressure switches are widely used in hydraulic and pneumatic systems and other applications requiring pressure control.
