More capabilities in pressure sensors.(Venture Development Corp.'s study)(Brief article)

Sensors Magazine, January, 2006

Venture Development Corp.'s new study on pressure sensors reveals a trend among vendors to incorporate transmitters with output amplification. The study also found that an increasing number of devices offer multivariable output-usually temperature in addition to pressure. One downside of the latter development is that the failure of one sensor means replacement of a more expensive part. But with reliability generally increasing, the concern is not great. VDC's study will publish in early 2006. (www.allsensors.com) --BG
