Hi friends, In this article, I am going to discuss the resistance temperature detector working principle, its construction and applications. It is also known as a resistance thermometer. A resistance temperature detector is a passive resistive transducer. It is used to measure the change in temperature. Resistance Temperature Read more…
Hi friends, In this article, I am going to describe you strain gauge working principle, gauge factor and strain gauge load cell working. A strain gauge is a passive transducer, that converts mechanical displacement into the change of resistance. A strain gauge is a thin wafer-like device that Read more…
Hi friends, In this article, I am going to discuss the thermocouple working principle, its types and properties. Thermocouples are the temperature sensors which are extensively used for the measurement of the temperature variations. They sense the temperature and the temperature is further measured by other instruments after sensing Read more…
Hello Friends, In this article, I am going to discuss the thermistor working principle, its characteristics and applications. So let us start. A thermistor is a special type of resistor whose resistance changes with the change in its body temperature. These are of two types: PTC Thermistor NTC Thermistor Read more…
Types of Errors in Transducers The errors in transducers occur because they do not follow, the input-output relationship given by qo = f(qi) The error can be expressed in terms of either input or the output quantity. Four types of errors in transducers which occures usually are as Read more…
There are many ways for measurement of a physical quantity. While selection of transducers, how to select a transducer for a particular application, following points should be kept in the mind. Unfortunately most transducers are not sensitive to just one quantity. If measurements are to be made under conditions Read more…
Characteristics of Transducers While choosing a transducer for any application the input, transfer and output characteristics of transducers have to be taken into account. Input Characteristics of Transducers Type of Input and Operating Range The foremost consideration for the choice of a transducer is the input quantity it Read more…
