Strip Heater What Is A Strip Heater And What Is It Used For?

A strip heater is a device which is mounted on a surface and used to heat the surface or air (gasses).

What is a Cartridge Heater and how does it work? What Is A Cartridge Heater And What Is Used For? – Omega Engineering

Cartridge heaters are most frequently used for heating metal parts by insertion into drilled holes.

Industrial Heaters what is an industrial electric heater?

Electric heaters are used in a variety of processes where the temperature of an object or process needs to be increased.

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? 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 is a Linear Variable Differential Transformer? What is a LVDT Sensor?

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.
