Pressure in airborne and submersible vehicles is quite simply a matter of life and death, and hence requires accurate and dependable measurement. Generally the output is detection of force and, if the information is to be accurately processed, a bridge circuit is required. Mid-range resistance values keep the power loss to a minimum while affording a respectable level of sensor sensitivity. Vishay Foil resistors provide an added level of safety by being only marginally affected by temperature and other outside influences.
