Flush Membrane Pressure Sensor
Operating principle
-
The sensing membrane is positioned flush with the sensor surface (no recessed cavity).
-
When the fluid applies pressure, the membrane deforms.
-
This deformation is converted into an electrical signal through piezoresistive, capacitive, or piezoelectric technology, depending on the model.

Construction
-
Flush membrane (often stainless steel, titanium, or ceramic):
-
Directly in contact with the fluid.
-
Smooth surface to prevent deposits.
-
-
Measuring element:
-
Converts the deformation of the membrane into an electrical signal proportional to the pressure.
-
-
Housing and connection:
-
Designed for easy integration into pipes or tanks.
-
Electrical output (cable or connector).
-
Advantages
-
Ideal for viscous fluids, pastes, or particle-loaded media (prevents clogging).
-
Easy to clean (compatible with CIP/SIP cleaning processes).
-
Hygienic surface → suitable for food and pharmaceutical industries.
-
Accurate measurement even with sticky or abrasive fluids.
Limitations
-
Can be more expensive than standard sensors.
-
The exposed membrane may be sensitive to abrasion or mechanical shocks.
Applications
-
Food industry: viscous products (purees, yogurts, sauces).
-
Pharmaceutical industry: sterile fluids, gels, viscous solutions.
-
Chemical industry: slurries, adhesives, resins.
-
Aquaculture: monitoring water pressure and level in ponds or circuits containing suspended matter.
