Figure 7.2.2 Bonded strain gauges with flat diaphragms Other types, One method utilizes the change of capacitance due to flexing of the diaphragms. Another method is based on electro-mechanical resonance principle. In this method, a fine wire under tension vibrates at its natural frequency and one end of it is connected to the centre of a pressure-sensing diaphragm, which varies the wire tension, depending on the applied pressure. The wire vibrates in a magnetic field provided by small permanent magnets. Due to the vibration of wire in magnetic field, an AC potential is developed in the wire. This E.M.F. is amplified and fed back to energize driving coils which maintain the vibration. The pressure is measured by the output Frequency.
