A load cell is a type of force sensor and it has a direct relationship to pressure, since: pressure = force/area                                    Eq. 1 The load cell’s electrical output is proportional to the mechanical force applied to it. The force can be hydraulic or pneumatic and the transducer is normally based on strain gauges. Other types […]

A fiber optic infrared probe is one way to make non-contact high temperature measurements in industrial applications. With a lens probe assembly aimed at the object to be measured, and a fiber optic interconnecting cable connected to an electronics package, a transmitter makes temperature measurements and converts them into a usable output signal. A new…

The OM-EL-USB-TC data logger measures and stores over 32,000 temperature readings from either type J, type K or type T thermocouple which plugs into a miniature female thermocouple receptacle at the base of the unit. The user can easily set up the initial data logging parameters including thermocouple type, logging rate, start-time, high/low alarm settings,…
