The technologically advanced sensors of today tend to be more accurate, reliable as well as
rugged in comparison to before. These features render them ideal for use in long term
environments and even withstand harsh conditions of the most extreme conditions of vibration,
humidity or even temperature. Industrial pressure sensors find their uses in quite wide
applications ranging from refrigeration, HHAC compressors as well as variable speed pumps all
the way to hydraulic pressure, water or even oil (Tamez-Duque et al., 2015). The specifications
