What is a pressure sensor and the reasons why pressure sensors are prone to failure 2

Despite the advanced design and sophisticated manufacturing of modern pressure sensors, they may still malfunction. Here are some reasons why pressure sensors are prone to breakage:diode

1. Overload and pressure shock:diode

If the pressure experienced by the sensor exceeds its designed maximum bearing pressure, it may cause permanent damage to the sensitive component. In addition, rapid pressure changes may also cause damage to the sensor.diode

2. Chemical corrosion:

If the sensor is exposed to corrosive environments such as acidic or alkaline gases or liquids, it may cause damage to sensitive components or other parts.diode

3. Temperature limit:

Each pressure sensor has its own operating temperature range. Excessively high or low temperatures can affect the performance of sensor materials, potentially leading to inaccurate or complete sensor readings.diode

4. Mechanical damage:

External impacts or vibrations may cause physical damage to sensors, especially for some precision pressure sensors.diode
