Increasing precision of temperature and pressure sensors


Posted November 17, 2011 by sstsensing

The market is inundated with, a large variety of temperature and pressure sensors that have become necessary these days in various industries.

 
Accuracy and cost effectiveness are its strong points or advantages. The function of temperature sensor is to find out the ambient temperature. Temperature sensors can be of two types contact and non-contact.
Between various temperature sensor brands, there are numerous differences that are more evident among various types of devices. Some assumptions and inferences are used in case both contact as well as non contact temperature sensors to measure temperature.
Some careful analysis is used that can make the apparent temperature quite different from the temperature that is indicated to determine the aspects that control influencing factors.
In the measurement of pressure, another important tool is pressure sensor that helps a lot. The demand for the same started with the steam age. Where mechanical displacements were transferred to an indicating pointer were the first pressure instruments. Bourdon tubes or bellows are some of the examples that are still in use today.

Pressure metrology is the technology of transuding pressure into an electrical quantity. Normally, a diaphragm construction is used that acts as a resistive element with strain gauges either bonded to, or diffused into it. The resistive values change under the pressure-induced strain.
Pressure sensors are used for control and monitoring in thousands of everyday applications. To measure water level, altitude, flow of gas or fluid and many more they are generally used. The technological advancements have changed the way industries work these days.
