Everything you need to know about Immersion Heaters Everything you need to know about Immersion Heaters

An immersion heater is a device which is installed in a tank or container to heat a liquid. The installation can be over-the-side, flanged, or threaded.

An Introduction to Flow Meters An Introduction to Flow Meters

As the name implies a Flow meter is an instrument for monitoring, measuring, or recording the rate of flow, pressure, or discharge of liquids or gasses.

What is an Ultrasonic Flow Meter? What is an Ultrasonic Flow Meter?

An ultrasonic flow meter (non-intrusive Doppler flow meter) is a volumetric flow meter which requires particulates or bubbles in the flow.

What are Electromagnetic Flow Meters? DwyerOmega | Blog | What Are Electromagnetic Flow Meters?

A magnetic flow meter (mag flow meter) is a volumetric flow meter which does not have any moving parts and is ideal for wastewater applications or any dirty liquid which is conductive or water based.

What is a Coriolis Flow Meter and How Does it Work? What Is A Coriolis Flow Meter and How Does It Work

A Coriolis flow meter is a type of mass flow meter. It is designed differently and works differently than thermal or differential mass flow meters.

Strain Gauges Strain Gauges, How does it work?

A Strain gage (sometimes referred to as a Strain Gauge) is a sensor whose resistance varies with applied force; It converts force, pressure, tension, weight, etc., into a change in electrical resistance which can then be measured.

What are LVDT Sensors? DwyerOmega | Blog | What are LVDT Sensors?

An LVDT is an electromechanical device used to convert mechanical motion or vibrations, specifically rectilinear motion, into a variable electrical current, voltage or electric signals, and the reverse.

Installing a Load Cell: Best Practices Installing a Load Cell. How to mount and connect a load cell?

Each load cell installation is unique. Consult a structural engineer when your application requires very high accuracy, long-term stability, custom specifications, or when using in a varied R&D environment.

Technical Learning What is a Wheatstone Bridge?

What is a Wheatstone Bridge? In order to measure strain with a bonded resistance strain gauge, it must be connected to an electric circuit that is capable of measuring the minute changes in resistance corresponding to strain.

Product Info What Are the Differences Between 2-Wire, 3-Wire, and 4-Wire RTDs?

What Are the Differences Between 2-Wire, 3-Wire, and 4-Wire RTDs? A Resistance Temperature Detector (RTD) measures temperature using a resistor with a resistance value that changes as its temperature increases or decreases. RTDs are typically manufactured in three different wiring configurations: 2-wire, 3-wire, and 4-wire. Each configuration is designed to compensate for lead wire resistance to varying degrees, impacting measurement accuracy.

Blog Setting the Standard

Setting the Standard When it comes to temperature measurement in an important application process – like yours – precision is paramount. So much relies on the accuracy of these measurements, and the quality of the instrumentation and devices that are used can make all the difference. We put our Super OmegaClad XL and our standard Inconel probes up against some of our competitors’ similarly spec’d probes in a battery of long-term product testing – and the results speak for themselves.
