Quartz Crystal Technology Introduction Design of Quartz Resonant Sensors Design of Pressure Transducers Transducer Characteristics Performance Applications Introduction The widespread use of digital computers and digital control systems have generated a need for high accuracy, inherently digital sensors. This presentation will discuss the design, construction, performance, and applications of resonant quartz crystal pressure transducers. Background Paroscientific is the leader in the field of precision pressure measurement. The company was founded in 1972 by Jerome M. Paros after a decade of research on digital force sensors. Application of this technology to the pressure instrumentation field resulted in transducers of the highest quality and superior performance. Precision comparable to the best primary standards is achieved through the use of a special quartz crystal resonator whose frequency of oscillation varies with pressure induced stress. A quartz crystal temperature signal is provided to thermally compensate the calculated pressure and achieve high accuracy over a wide range of temperatures.
