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

Despite their advanced design and superior manufacturing, modern pressure sensors can still malfunction. Here are some common reasons why pressure sensors may fail:diode

1. Overload and pressure shock:

If the pressure experienced by the sensor exceeds its designed maximum withstand pressure, it may cause permanent damage to the sensitive components. Additionally, rapid pressure changes can also harm 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 operating temperature range. Excessively high or low temperatures can affect the performance of the sensor materials, potentially leading to inaccurate readings or complete failure of the sensor.diode

4. Mechanical damage:

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