A comprehensive study recently published by Germany’s Gas und Wärme-Institute (GWI, Gas and Heating Institute) confirmed the practical functionality of Sensirion’s technology. The microthermal gas meter modules from leading Swiss sensor manufacturer are equipped with integrated gas recognition. The compensation software guarantees precise flow measurement despite the differing qualities of natural gas. Furthermore, independently of […]

The Sensor Connection a division of Harold G. Schaevitz Industries LLC, has expanded its line of temperature measurement and control instrumentation with the addition of the model DPG-SD-1 series digital Type K thermocouple temperature gauge. Manufactured in the USA, this microprocessor-based gauge is packaged in a compact 52mm O.D. round housing with an IP65 rated […]
Thermal Imaging Sensor for the IoT
Using its internet of things (IoT) thermal imaging sensor, Optimet has developed a thermal Wi-Fi camera that the company says is 35% less than the lowest cost comparable thermal image sensor. The thermal imaging is also used in a computer vision-enabled thermal imaging device, called the HemaVision that the company expects to offer at a […]
Easily Monitor Temperature with USB Kit
USB Temperature Monitoring kits from Monnit use 900 MHz operating frequency and simplify temperature monitoring. The kit includes, coin cell powered sensors, a wireless USB gateway and sensor mounting hardware. The thermistor temperature sensors operate from -40° to +125°C with an accuracy of ±1% at 25°C and time constant of 7 sec at 25°C. The […]
IO-Link temperature sensor is more flexible, robust, and lower cost
Maxim Integrated’s new MAXREFDES42# IO-Link resistance temperature detector (RTD) is an IO-Link reference design for industrial control and automation. This design’s highly integrated analog front end (AFE) measures temperature, while detecting overvoltage, shorts, and open circuits. The reference design consumes minimal power and provides better than +/-.5°C accuracy. The temperature appears immediately on an LED […]
Medical Application Uses Noncontact Temperature Sensor
NeuWave Medical’s Certus 140 is a soft-tissue ablation system that uses microwave technology to treat skin lesions. The company says it is the only gas-cooled microwave system. CO2 cylinders ensure the probe shaft remains cool when delivering microwave energy to the target lesion. In the cooling system, an infrared (IR) temperature sensor measures the CO2 […]
