Until about 10 years ago, the force test and measurement industry had been fairly unimaginative. It had developed a standard way of building analog load cells, torque transducers and other devices, ...

Most electronic engineers know that a transistor’s base-emitter voltage (V BE) has a temperature coefficient (TC) of about -2 mV/°C. However, for precision temperature sensors, “about” isn’t good ...

Temperature measurement has long been vital to most industrial and manufacturing operations. It has taken on new importance in the era of smart buildings and homes, where automation of such functions ...

Minco's Three Channel is a validation system for diagnostics equipment, allowing the operator to determine whether the diagnostic is functioning properly. When medical devices need to determine when ...

Measuring temperature turns out to be a fundamental function for a huge number of devices. You furnace’s programmable thermostat and digital clocks are obvious examples. If you just needed to know if ...

Quality control is at the heart of good manufacturing, as inferior goods tend to result in sunk costs at best and disgruntled or unsatisfied customers at worst. In the past, most quality control work ...

Fluxgate current sensors have emerged as a robust technology for the measurement of both alternating and direct currents, harnessing the non-linear magnetic characteristics of ferromagnetic materials.

Torque measurements can feel confusing when you’re new to them, especially when you just want your machine, bike, or tool to ...

When reviewing new sensor technology used in the discrete manufacturing industries, we wondered if end users were simply replacing older technologies or strategically using new sensors to gather more ...

Soil moisture measurement is fundamental to understanding hydrological processes, crop water dynamics, and broader environmental monitoring. Recent advancements have driven the development of ...
