The old saying “if it ain’t broke, don’t fix it” cautions against tampering with something that performs reliably and regularly proves its worth. Arguably, this advice applies to the circuit design ...

To maintain high resolution and accuracy within a transducer or sensor-based measurement system, the designer must exercise care in selecting the excitation source for the transducer — and the ...

Thermocouples function on the principle of the Seebeck effect, which states that two dissimilar metals combined at two junctions produce an electromotive force, or EMF, at the junctions. The metals ...

ELECTRONICS: Omega’s DTG-RTD100 Digital Thermometer Series features a large backlit display with 25mm (1 inch) digits that can be read as far as 10.7 m (35 feet) away. Reading features include, ...

Process instruments consist of two main components: a sensor and a transmitter. The sensor is sometimes part of the instrument assembly, as with some pressure instruments, but is more often separate, ...

Optimizing vital industrial processes has become extremely important. This provides the opportunity for temperature measurement to reduce fuel costs and energy consumption significantly. Image Credit: ...

When making physical measurements such as temperature, strain, or pressure, you need a sensor to convert the physical property into an electrical signal, usually voltage. Then, the signal must be ...
