Variable Capacitance Sensing Technology Most Used for Pressure Transmitters

Natick, Massachusetts – Electronic pressure-sensing devices that employed variable capacitance-sensing technology continue to dominate process applications. According to recent research from VDC Research Group, in 2008 45.7% of electronic pressure-sensing devices were of variable capacitance-sensing technology, and this percentage share is expected to continue to grow steadily at a rate of 2.6% per year through 2013.
