Buying Pressure Sensors — what matters in the selection

Pressure sensors supply the control variable for pumps, compressors and process control. Selection turns on range, pressure type and output signal — not on the resolution in the data sheet.

shukchok carries pressure sensors, pressure switches and gauges for air, water and process media, stating range, accuracy, process connection and signal.

The most common mistake when replacing: confusing gauge and absolute pressure. Both measure the same physical phenomenon but against a different reference.

Selection criteria

  1. Gauge, absolute or differential

    Gauge pressure measures against ambient, absolute against vacuum, differential between two points. Swapping across pressure types shifts the reading by roughly 1 bar.

  2. Overload resistance

    Pressure peaks when valves switch lie far above the working pressure. The overload limit should exceed the working pressure several times over.

  3. Process connection and seal

    Thread, sealing material and flush mounting must suit the measuring point. With viscous or solids-laden media a flush diaphragm is mandatory.

  4. Signal type for the evaluation

    4–20 mA for long cables and wire-break detection, 0–10 V for short runs, switching output for simple limit monitoring.

Frequently asked questions

What is the difference between gauge and absolute pressure?

Gauge pressure refers to current ambient pressure, absolute to vacuum. An absolute sensor reads about 1 bar when unpressurised, a gauge sensor reads zero.

Can I replace a pressure switch with a sensor?

Only if the evaluation can process an analogue signal. A pressure switch provides a contact, a sensor a measured value — the controller has to be designed for it.

How does medium temperature affect the measurement?

Every sensor has a temperature error stated in the data sheet. With hot media a cooling element or siphon is advisable so the electronics stay within the specified range.

Can I order pressure Sensors on account?

Card payment, Apple Pay and Google Pay are available immediately. Purchase on account and prepayment by bank transfer are in preparation for business customers and will be available shortly. If a card declines a larger amount, please contact us — we handle those orders individually.

How quickly are pressure Sensors delivered?

1 item in this category is currently listed as available. There is no blanket delivery time — it depends on the item, and stock goods, made-to-order parts and special versions differ considerably. The figure that applies is stated on the product page.

Do I get technical data sheets for pressure Sensors?

Yes. Data sheets, dimensional drawings and manuals are — where provided by the manufacturer — filed under “Downloads” on each product and accessible without an account. If a document is missing we will supply it on request.

Who is my contractual partner when I order?

shukchok. Even where an external supplier lists and ships the product, shukchok remains the seller and contractual partner. Invoicing, payment processing, warranty and refunds all run through shukchok — you have exactly one point of contact.

Can I return pressure Sensors?

Unused stock items can be returned within the statutory and contractual rules. Items made or configured to customer specification are excluded from return. Please register a return in advance so we can allocate the process.
