We see from your search that you're looking for information on the term "Pressure Sensors",
and we have a large number of manufacturers' news releases and technical articles here on Manufacturingtalk which will be of interest.
Let me be your guide.
Start with
the news release Software used to calibrate pressure sensors from
Ametek Calibration Instruments, which we summarised at the time by saying "Latest documenting calibration software for automatic calibration of sensors using a PC is capable of performing pressure calibration as well as temperature
calibration".
A few weeks before,
we featured the news release Weld and fastening monitor works at machine from
Kistler Instruments: "A battery powered measuring system for analysing joining methods, such as spot welding, clinching and riveting, measures and records the force-vs-time and force-vs-distance curve".
In September 2007, we covered the news from Kistler Instruments
concerning its Mould cavity sensors - foamed plastics
- take a look at Sensors monitor plastics foam mould pressure
which says: "Sensors for monitoring cavity pressure have been developed for the injection moulding of foamed plastics products providing a reliable resolution of the pressure profile down to 40 bar".
Take a look also at the news release from StrainSense, Miniature sensors apply to testing machines,
as well as Low cost pressure sensor for OEM applications from Roxspur Measurement and Control,
and Mould pressure sensor can work in small cavities from Kistler Instruments.
