"At best, a thermometer only ever measures its own temperature". The aim is therefore to equalise the temperature of the sensor element to that of the medium to be measured. Only then will the thermometer display the actual medium temperature. The heat …

Quick-mounting clip: Cost reduction in the fitting of strap-on sensors
| Gerhard Renz | TemperatureA quick-mounting clip enables fast and cost-effective fitting of strap-on temperature sensors in heating systems and heat pumps. These can be quickly and easily clipped onto the heating pipe without the need for any tools. Generally, in practice, strap-on …
What does temperature compensation or compensated temperature range for pressure sensors mean?
| Michèle Beyer | Know-howNo other term is as misleading as "compensated temperature range". Let´s first begin with what is meant: The compensated temperature range is the temperature range in which the temperature error, and accordingly the temperature coefficients, are valid. Not, as one …
Aim and purpose of a vent hole in pressure sensors
| Michèle Beyer | PressureIn so-called “gauge sensors” pressure is always measured relative to the currently prevailing ambient pressure. However, the ambient pressure is by no means constant. It is location- and height-dependent and changes with the weather. This means that for a …
Active and passive temperature compensation of pressure sensors
| Dominik Lorenz | GeneralHow does an active or passive temperature compensation of pressure transmitters actually work? High-quality pressure transmitters, especially those used in precision critical applications, are almost always provided with an individual temperature compensation. But …
