Pressure Sensors
A water pressure sensor and transducer is an electronic device used for measuring water pressure in water tanks and other applications in process industries. It measures and detects the pressure of water in a system and provides a digital output signal representing the measured pressure. The digital pressure sensor utilizes electronic components and technology to convert the physical pressure exerted by the water into an electrical signal, which is then processed and displayed digitally.
Cannon Water provides digital pressure transducers and sensors from various industry-leading brands like Transducers Direct. These digital water pressure transducers are equipped with pressure sensing element, signal conditioning circuitry, LED displays, which will inform you if the pressure is high or low, without reading values. Our products are made with stainless steel with analog and digital outputs and are completely electronically designed with high accuracy.

Tips to Select Water Pressure Sensors and Transducers for Your Application
Below are some tips that you can consider while choosing a water pressure sensor and transducer for your application:
- Type of measurement: The water pressure sensor and transducer can be used to measure different types of pressures including absolute pressure, gauge pressure, and differential pressure.
- Pressure Range: This is one of the most important requirements when it comes to choosing a water pressure transducer. There are two considerations to make under this: the pressure sensor and transducer must assure accuracy and stay protected from overpressure. Thus, low and high-pressure ranges must be addressed.
- Accuracy: Digital water pressure sensor and transducer can be availed in different accuracies ranging from 0.5% to 0.005% of the full-scale output. Generally, high accuracies are recommended for demanding applications.
- Output Ranges: The water pressure sensors and transducers are available in various output ranges including mV/V output, ratiometric, mA output, and various types of digital outputs. You must consider the benefits of each of these outputs before choosing the right device for your application.
- Temperature Range and Operational Environment: The performance of a transducer or sensor may be affected by temperature, vibrations, and other factors. Thus, it is important to address the operational environment of these devices.
Digital pressure sensors in water pressure instruments offer greater flexibility, enhanced performance, and improved data handling capabilities compared to analog pressure sensors, making them a popular choice in modern water pressure measurement applications.
