Pressure Measurement

Pressure sensors?? I think pressure gauges / transmitters cover the whole range of bourdon tube to vibrating quartz crystals to silicon bridge type of sensors?

Not quite sure what you're looking for?

Do you consider a manometer a gauge? Manometers are still used to a considerable extent in the HVAC industry. Slanting tube manometers can measure very small differences in air pressure, and make up for their inconvenience by their very low cost.

The Sensilica® family of miniature pressure sensor devices are ideal for original equipment manufacturers seeking low cost, high-performance absolute pressure sensing in an extraordinarily small form factor. The Sensilica® family of pressure sensors are extremely small (0.8x0.8x0.4mm) MEMS based piezoresistive pressure sensing devices that have been designed to provide the highest level of performance for die of this size. Sensilica® is an all-silicon device and thus does not use wafer bonding to create the pressure reference cavity. This benefit reduces size, cost and improves reliability compared to other sensors on the market that can leak due to bonding failures. In addition, Sensilica® has the highest burst pressure (>10x) among the MEMS piezoresistive pressure sensors available on market today.

These pressure guages and transmitters have all sorts of different kinds themselves... which are used in different situations; but as for other instruments that are used to measure pressure there are also pressure controllers. Pressure controllers are valves that work together with the guages and transmitters to control the pressure of the flow.
