Most engineers understand the concept of pressure. It’s a force, often measured in pounds, on a specific area. It is commonly listed in pounds per square inch (psi). But there are a variety of ...

In the fields of Digital-Sensor Signal Processing (DSSP), sensor compensation paved its way along designers’ minds of the the top producers of this technology. This was made possible with the ...

Compact MEMS Pirani transducer combines thermal sensing and barometric measurement to deliver wide-range vacuum monitoring ...

A pressure transducer is capable of accurately measuring pressure. It converts applied pressure into an electric signal and can be classified as an active or passive pressure measurement device.

As more and more refrigeration systems incorporate electronic controls into their design, it is becoming increasingly important for technicians to be able to troubleshoot these electronic devices. One ...

Pressure is an important process parameter that must be monitored in many bioprocess unit operations such as filtration, chromatography, and bioreactor production. In a multistage filtration process, ...

This article explores the calibration of a melt pressure transducer, a type of sensor used in injection molding and plastic extrusion. The output of the sensor must be calibrated to work alongside ...

It's worryingly easy to do.

This past June saw both the opening of Sensors Expo and the market launch of the sensor-laden Apple iPhone. So it’s not surprising that there’s recently been a flood of sensor product announcements.
