Flow Rate (Volume Flow Rate, Mass Flow Rate)
Flow is the movement of materials such as liquid, gas and solids in industrial settings. To control the processes and automating the movements of machines, flow is one of the most important physical quantities that should be measured and controlled.Flow Rate Flow rate (Q) refers to the volume of fluid (V) that passes through an area during a period of time (t). Its formula is defined as follows: Q=V/t (In this formula, V means volume, t means time, and Q is flow rate). F

Proximity Sensor Types [Features, Advantages and Selection tips]
How does a proximity sensor work?
Proximity sensors that also called detectors are non-contacting technology to
detect or sense the presence or absence of nearby objects which come within range of their oscillating field. When the sensor detects an object- either a person or a piece of equipment- in its determined range the associated method of detection will record the activity and transmit the data back to the cloud through Cloud Connectors, warning devices, or platforms. The proxim

Special Types of Pressure Sensors
In all industries there are applications which require special care and needs. for pressure measurement applications sometimes these needs are measuring a very hot medium, or a very strong wave of water. Here we want to explain some special type of pressures sensors which are equipped and enhanced to work in such situation.Dynamic Pressure Sensor Dynamic pressure measurements can be done through the use of piezoelectric pressure sensors. This high-quality and reliable dynamic pressure senso

Certificates and Approvals Related to Pressure Transmitters
Pressure sensors have different approvals and certifications in terms of environmental, regional, and various applications. For example, some certificates like CE are used for trade in a specific region such as Europe, others such as ATEX for the use of sensors in hazardous and explosive areas, EHEDG for hygienic applications, and some are utilized in marine and shipbuilding industries. Some of these certificates will be explained in the following:Pressure Transmitters CertificatesCECE refers to

Wetted Parts in Pressure Sensors (Diaphragm Seal, Capillary and Seal or O-ring)
Wetted parts are an important aspect to reflect on when choosing a pressure sensor. Process connections and wetted parts are the frontline dealing with the medium of application.
“Wetted parts” are measurement components used in connection with pressure sensors for all those parts, surfaces, and/or parts and also any internal seals, welds, or membranes/ diaphragms of the pressure sensors that are (potentially) exposed to or in direct contact with the media under pressure.
It i
