Is there a difference between quartz and piezoceramic based sensors in terms of temperature transient sensitivity?
No. Transient temperature sensitivity depends upon the electrical and mechanical design of the sensor, not on the sensing element. Often mistaken for the pyroelectric effect, thermal transients cause expansion of the sensor’s metal parts. The expansion is mechanically transmitted to the sensing element. Thermal transient sensitivity is a function of the sensors strain sensitivity and low frequency amplifier filter characteristics.
