differential pressure measurement

Differential pressure measurement involves assessing the pressure difference between two points in a system. This method uses a device called a differential pressure sensor, which compares the pressure at one location to another, often across filters, flow restrictions, or tanks. The resulting measurement indicates how conditions like flow rate, filter clogging, or level differences are changing within the system. It’s a vital tool in industries like manufacturing, HVAC, and fluid management, providing critical data for monitoring, control, and ensuring efficient, safe operation.
