There are some advantages of piezoelectric pressure transducer which are given below,
- Rugged construction and small size.
- Excellent frequency response.
- High output with negligible phase shift.
There are some disadvantages of piezoelectric pressure transducer which are given below,
- Piezoelectric crystals are water soluble. Hence in a high humidity environment gets dissolved.
- It can be used for dynamic measurement only.
- Temperature sensitive.
