# What are the different pressure ranges in a pressure sensor?

## Pressure ranges of a pressure sensor

**Pressure ranges :**

1. *Measurement range (Operating pressure)*
   
    This is the nominal working area of a pressure sensor.
2. *Overload range (Pressure overload)*
   
   The error of measurement can exceed the specified limit, but there will be no permanent damage or change in the engineering properties.
3. *Destruction (Burst pressure)*
   
   Beyond the burst pressure the device can be permanently damaged or mechanically destroyed.
