Chapter 13, Problem 1RQ
What type of pressure switch is generally used to sense small changes in low pressure systems?
Expert Solution & Answer
To determine
The type of pressure switch that is generally used to sense small variations in low-pressure system.
Explanation of Solution
Pressure switches are the switches that operate with respect to pressure variation in a system. In general, the pressure system is classified into low-pressure system and high-pressure system. The low-pressure system uses a sensitive pressure switch. The diaphragm pressure switch is classified as a sensitive pressure switch. The diaphragm can respond to small pressures.
Thus, the type of pressure switch that is generally used to sense small variations in low-pressure system is a diaphragm pressure switch.
