pressure transducer
Measures fluid force
A pressure transducer is a device that converts pressure into an electrical signal, allowing measurement and monitoring in industrial, automotive, and scientific applications.
The transducer senses pressure from gases or liquids and outputs a proportional voltage or current: The pressure transducer monitors hydraulic fluid levels in the braking system.
Related terms include pressure sensor and pressure transmitter, though transducer specifically emphasizes the conversion between physical and electrical domains.
