They are available in many different designs to suit pressure and electrical connections, measuring procedures, electrical output signals and certifications (CE, EX, rail and ship).
About Pressure Transmitters
Pressure transmitters are electronic pressure gauges and are used to measure and monitor pressure. The term pressure transmitter is also often used for pressure transducers or pressure sensors. However, this is not a synonym, since the term pressure sensor in the narrower sense only describes a part of the pressure transmitter.
Description of Trafag NAR 8258 Railway Pressure Switch

The pressure switch NAR 8258 with 1 or 2 switching outputs and increased accuracy of 0.3 % was specifically designed for railway vehicles (EN 50155) and has a long-term stable thin-film-on-steel sensor cell. The wide temperature range from -40ยฐC to +85ยฐC and the triple overpressure protection make the NAR 8258 the ideal choice for railway vehicles in rough environmental conditions.
