3. What is Pressure?
Pressure is the force exerted per unit area.

4. Types of pressure Static Pressure:
Force (Potential Energy) acting per unit area is known as Static Pressure .
Pressure in moving fluids (Dynamic Pressure)
The pressure in a moving fluid exerted parallel to the flow direction is called the impact pressure, PI. This is due to the kinetic energy of the fluid.

5. Pressure measurement Absolute pressure:
It is measured relative to a perfect vacuum. An example is atmospheric pressure.
Differential pressure:
It is the difference in pressure between two points of measurement.
Gauge pressure:
It is measured relative to ambient pressure. Blood pressure is one example.

8. Pressure Transmitter
A pressure transmitter senses a pressure and outputs a proportional current signal. The working principle varies. Some are resistive, some are capacitive, some are piezoelectric

9. Transmitter Measuring Principle
The diagram shows an electronic differential pressure sensor. This particular type utilizes a two-wire capacitance technique.
The differential capacitance between the sensing diaphragm and the capacitor plates is converted electronically to a 4–20 mA or 1-5 VDC signal.
For a gauge pressure transmitter, the low pressure side is referenced to atmospheric pressure.
