Seismic surveys are a popular non-invasive method used by exploration companies to search for oil and gas below the Earth’s surface. The testing is conducted with vibroseis trucks that deliver a low frequency vibration from a seismic vibrator using a base plate that impacts the earth. With every sweep, outgoing vibration signals from the trucks […]

NewTek LVDT Position Sensors survive in temps to 1000° F and pressures to 3000 PSI
The HT-1000 LVDT Position Sensor from NewTek Sensor Solutions operates in environments with extreme temperatures such as those found in power plants, test laboratories, engine control systems, stream turbines, gas turbines, furnaces and even nuclear reactors. Constructed with a 1-in. diameter stainless-steel housing, the HT-1000 LVDTs offer a 1000° F (538° C) continuous operating temperature […]
LVDT signal conditioner improves sensor performance over large temperature swings
NewTek Sensor Solutions introduces a new series of Difference/Sum LVDT Signal Conditioners that improve a sensor’s performance during large temperature variations. By measuring the difference of the output over the sum (S1-S2)/(S1+S2), the NTC-6000-DS Quick-Cal LVDT Signal Conditioner compensates for changes in resistance in copper windings due to temperature fluctuations. As a result, the Ratiometric […]
