The manifold absolute pressure sensor reads the amount of pressure or vacuum (also called “engine load”) in the intake manifold, where outside air is divvied up in proper amounts and distributed to ...

Piezoresistive (diaphragm-based) differential pressure sensors based on silicon comprise a thin silicon diaphragm in which resistors (connected together in a Wheatstone bridge) are lodged. If there is ...

The engine test stands used with advanced data-acquisition systems require a different type of pressure sensor than those used in the past. Engine hydraulics and pneumatics operate faster and often, ...
