Updated 2026-05-11 by the Sino-Inst engineering team. A shaft torque sensor sits between a motor and the load and reads the twisting force on the rotating shaft. The output is a 4-20 mA, frequency, CAN, or RS485 signal that a Read More
Updated 2026-05-11 by the Sino-Inst engineering team. A density meter measures the mass per unit volume of a liquid, slurry, or gas, usually in real time and at process pressure. The reading is what you bill on, what you blend Read More
Updated 2026-05-11 by the Sino-Inst engineering team. A dew point meter for compressed air reports the pressure dew point (PDP) — the temperature at which water vapour condenses out of the air at line pressure. That single number decides whether Read More
Updated: May 10, 2026 — by Sino-Inst Engineering Team For shaft-mounted sensing on rotating drivetrains — strain gauge, SAW, magnetoelastic, and the maintenance/diagnostic playbook — see our shaft torque sensor guide. A torque transducer turns mechanical torque on a shaft Read More
Updated: May 10, 2026 — by Sino-Inst Engineering Team The density of crude oil spans roughly 790 kg/m³ for light condensates to 1,000+ kg/m³ for extra-heavy bitumen, but the oil density you read at the wellhead, in the storage tank, Read More
Updated: May 10, 2026 — by Sino-Inst Engineering Team A zirconia oxygen sensor reads the O₂ partial pressure in a hot gas stream by exploiting yttria-stabilised zirconia, an oxide ceramic that becomes an O²⁻-ion conductor above ~600 °C. In flue-gas Read More
Contents Six technologies for powder level measurement Why powders are harder than liquids Radar for powders: 80 GHz, 26 GHz, and guided wave Vibrating fork and rotary paddle for point level Capacitive, RF-admittance, and ultrasonic alternatives Point level vs continuous Read More
Contents What is a piezoelectric pressure sensor Working principle: stress to voltage Why static pressure cannot be measured Charge mode vs IEPE/ICP signal conditioning Sensor materials: quartz, PZT, PVDF Operating temperature limits and thermal shock Piezoelectric vs piezoresistive: decision matrix Read More
Updated 2026-05-09 by the Sino-Inst engineering team. A flow transmitter is the field instrument that turns a flow measurement into a 4-20 mA, HART, Modbus, or pulse signal that a PLC or DCS can read — and that a SCADA Read More
