Pressure transducers are commonly used to provide feedback information to a computer controller. Pressure sensors are used on hydraulic circuits of earth moving equipment, compressed air power circuits of manufacturing plants, and in chemical processing networks. Pressure sensors can provide over-pressure warnings to remote operators, so one operator can monitor several processes safely and cost effectively from a remote location.
Pressure sensors can also indicate machine health , like the oil sensor on an automotive engine.
The first problem is that your company wants to know if they can recycle a large number of older pressure gages that they have in stock. Consider how the gage would respond when a vacuum was applied. Reassemble the gage. Give your company some ideas about redesign and making the gage into a transducer. A common step in engineering design is to estimate overall dimensions.
