Honeywell Sensotec Frequently Asked Questions

What are Advantages Between Bonded Foil Strain Gage-Based and Silicon-Based Pressure Sensors?

Silicon vs bonded foil sensor comparison chart

Bonded foil strain gauge based pressure sensors are excellent choices for high pressure and high temperature applications. Strain gage based sensors are also very flexible in the number of designs they can be used for. This makes them ideal for short run specials or unique, application specific solutions. Silicon-based pressure sensors offer a higher frequency response with a higher overload capability. Silicon-based pressure sensors are often used in low pressure applications due to their higher sensitivity.
