The following differential pressure sensor uses a matched pair of strain gauges. As the differential pressure increases, one strain gauge becomes compressed while the other becomes stretched. A voltmeter registers the bridge circuit’s imbalance and displays it as a pressure measurement:
Determine the following:
Which port is the “high” pressure port: Port “B”
What will happen if fixed resistor R1 fails open: Voltmeter will drive fully upscale (“peg” positive)
Identify a component fault that would drive the voltmeter full upscale (“peg” positive): as follows below
