Strain gauges and foil pressure transducers thus work the same way. If you need an industry standard output (i.e. 0-10V or 4-20 mA), your transducer must incorporate an appropriate signal amplifier.</p>

The pressure sensors I am coming across have either 0-5V output<br>
or some amp range.<br>
Wish I had heard Jon's talk at the last convention. Was that recorded?<br>
Thanks<br>
