Pressure transducers can be defined as a type of sensor which converts physical pressure into an electrical signal. They can be used for measuring pressure in liquids and gases. Pressure transmitter is another term commonly used for a Pressure Transducer and are suitable for a range of applications...

There are different types of temperature sensors available and they each use different technologies and principles to take the temperature measurement. Different Types of Temperature Sensor Thermistors can be very small in size. They consist of a sensing element which can be either glass or...

The certifications our intrinsically safe pressure transducers hold are ATEX/IECEx and UL/CSA approval.  What is an Intrinsically Safe Pressure Transducer? The term “Intrinsically-safe” refers to equipment and devices which, during use, will not release enough thermal or...

A rotary position sensor is used to measure displacement in a rotary fashion, in either a clockwise or anti-clockwise direction. The different types of rotary position sensors include contacting or non-contacting technology. True non-contacting rotary position sensors contain no touching parts...

There are many different temperature sensor types. They are all suited to different applications and industries and have different features and advantages. Types of Temperature Sensors At Variohm we have a wide range of temperature sensors available at Variohm, some of these...

Strain gauges are very small, very sensitive electrical devices. Their resistance differs with applied force. This means they can measure changes in force, pressure, weight and tension by giving a change in electrical resistance. Strain Gauge applications Aerospace Applications –...
