2. Introduction
A transducer is a device that converts energy from one
form to another for various purposes like measurement
or Information transfer eg.,Pressure sensors.
Device which converts one physical quantity or
condition to another
Physical quantity – heat , intensity of light, flow rate,
liquid level, humidity etc
3. Transducer
(conversion)Any measureable
quantity in
Anything
out
eg. any measurable quantity:
• energy: sound, electrical, mechanical,
light, chemical,
• pressure, level, density, temp, pH, flow,
temperature
• position, distance, mass, time
• etc, etc.

5. LVDT
Use along with bourdon tube & bellows to determine the
displacement , pressure etc
6. Classification of transducers
There are many ways to classify transducers:
By what they are measuring
General classification.
Specific classification.
By the output signal type.
By whether or not they produce their own supply.
(Active or Passive)
Input to output.
Contact type or not
Direct or indirect.
Method used to sense input.
