Basicknowledgeoftransducers
Atransducerisadevicewhichconvertsthequantitybeingmeasuredintoanoptical,mechanical,or-morecommonly-electricalsignal.Theenergy-conversionprocessthattakesplaceisreferredtoastransduction.
Transducersareclassifiedaccordingtothetransductionprincipleinvolvedandtheformofthemeasured.Thusaresistancetransducerformeasuringdisplacementisclassifiedasaresistancedisplacementtransducer.Otherclassificationexamplesarepressurebellows,forcediaphragm,pressureflapper-nozzle,andsoon.
