Conductivity Cell Constant of Conductivity Sensor
The conductivity cell constant of the conductivity sensor is a multiplier constant. The cell constant is multiplied by the measured current to calculate the electrical
Control Valve Cavitation and Flashing
This article describes cavitation and flashing in the control valve. Before understanding the phenomenon of cavitation and flashing, let us first understand the basic difference
Calibration Errors: Zero, Span, Linearity & Hysteresis
There are four types of calibration errors, namely zero,span,linearity and hysteresis. It is important to identify and correction of instrument calibration errors for accurate measurement
Light Dependent Resistor LDR- Type, Symbol, Construction, Working
Light dependent resistor LDR or photoresistor changes its resistance when light falls on it, thus it detects the presence of light. In this article, we
Annunciator Panel- Purpose, Working Principle, Applications

Optical Pyrometer- Definition, Construction, Working
Definition: The optical pyrometer functions on the principle of matching the brightness of an object to the brightness of the filament. It is a non-contact
Rate Compensated Heat Detectors
Rate compensated heat detectors initiate an alarm when the surrounding air temperature reaches at a predefined level, irrespective of the rate of temperature rise. Heat
What are Linear Heat Detectors?
Linear heat detectors detect only heat. They do not detect smoke. On the other hand, a fire alarm system consists of detection devices that detect
4 Most Common Types of Temperature Sensors
The 4 Most Common Types of Temperature Sensors are NTC thermistors, RTDs, Thermocouples, and semiconductor-based sensors. These sensors for temperature are used for monitoring and
