What is a Radar Level Sensor? A radar level sensor is an instrument that uses microwave echo ranging to measure liquid levels non-contactly. It can measure both liquid and solid levels and is widely used in river level measurement, container, storage tank, and silo level monitoring. Measurement accuracy is up to ±1mm, and the measurement … Read more
In fields such as military engineering, explosive testing, oil and gas exploration, materials and geotechnical mechanics, trauma medicine, and hydraulic power testing, the precise measurement of high-frequency transient pressure waveforms places stringent demands on the dynamic performance of sensors. The SI-90 high-frequency dynamic pressure transmitter is designed specifically for these applications. Through micromachining technology, it achieves … Read more
Pressure measurement is often a highly challenging task in many industrial environments. Extremely high-temperature media are commonplace in fields such as aerospace, energy, and chemicals. High-temperature measurements are particularly difficult for electronic components. Because they are typically poorly heat-resistant, high temperature pressure transducers are crucial. Sino-inst specializes in designing and manufacturing advanced pressure measurement solutions. … Read more
What Is a Pressure Switch? A pressure switch is a specialized instrument for pressure measurement and control. Pressure switches can be electronic or mechanical. Based on a preset pressure value, they can open or close the corresponding switch contacts when the pressure is reached. Pressure switches, like pressure transmitters, are essential instruments in industrial processes. … Read more
In industrial automation, sensors play a crucial role. They ensure accuracy, efficiency, and reliability in a wide range of applications. When it comes to sensors, analog and digital sensors are two common types. Each has its own advantages and limitations. They are widely used in various industries and applications. Understanding the differences between these two … Read more
When configuring temperature sensors, you’ll encounter the option of whether to configure a thermocouple sheath, and the requirements for its size and material. Sometimes, a thermocouple sheath is also called a thermowell or temperature sensor protective tube. So what exactly is a thermocouple sheath, and how do we choose one? Based on Sino-Inst’s experience, we’ve … Read more
A type K thermocouple is a widely used thermocouple in temperature measurement. Type K thermocouples are typically composed of two different metal alloys: a chromium-nickel alloy and an aluminum-nickel alloy. Type K thermocouples are inexpensive, highly accurate, reliable, and have a wide temperature range. Their maximum continuous operating temperature is approximately 1100°C. They provide accurate … Read more
When it comes to flow measurement, understanding the distinction between mass flow rate and volumetric flow rate is crucial. Both concepts are widely used in various industries, but they differ in several aspects. We’ll explore the key differences between mass flow rate and volumetric flow rate, examine the factors that affect flow rate conversions, and … Read more
Diaphragm seal is used to prevent media from directly entering the sensor assembly in the pressure transmitter/differential pressure transmitter. Remote split pressure measurement can be achieved by connecting the fluid-filled capillary tube to the transmitter. Diaphragm seals effectively broaden the application range of pressure transmitters. It makes the measurement of pressure transmitter and differential pressure … Read more
