The types of gases are; methane, smoke, alcohol, hydrogen, LPG, benzene, propane, NH3, etc. So this article … [Read more...]
K-type Thermocouple : Working, Specifications, Interfacing & Its Applications
A thermocouple is a thermoelectrical thermometer with two different electrical conductors which form an electrical junction. One electrical conductor is used wherever the temperature is to be measured & another one is set aside at a constant lower temperature. The main function of a thermocouple is to generate a temperature-dependent voltage due to the Seebeck effect. This effect can be occurred due to the temperature difference that is proportional to the variation between the two … [Read more...]
pH Sensor : Specifications, Pinout, Working, Types, Interfacing, Datasheet & Its Applications
Water pollution can be caused by different chemicals. So measuring water quality is very important otherwise it can affect human health. Previously, water quality is measured by using a traditional method namely; pH indicator. But this method cannot provide accurate pH reading of water. The most frequently used pH indicators in laboratory are; phenolphthalein litmus & methyl orange. To guess pH of water, pH indicators mainly depend on visible color changes. To overcome this, the standard … [Read more...]
How to Choose an Ultrasonic Sensor?
Ultrasonic sensors are one of the fascinating technologies that rely on sound waves. These sensors emit high-frequency ultrasonic pulses (beyond the range of human hearing) and measure the time it takes for these pulses to bounce back after hitting an object. By knowing the speed of sound in the medium (usually air) and the time taken for the sound waves to return, the sensor can accurately calculate the distance to the object. Ultrasonic sensors have gained widespread popularity in various … [Read more...]

Occupancy Sensor : Working, Circuit, Types & Its Applications
Generally, lighting systems operate with lighting control devices by switching on & off the lights. So there are thousands of lighting systems used in offices and commercial buildings but the operation cost of lighting systems is more so every year many organisations insure losses by paying to work on lighting systems even when there is no one in the office to work. To overcome this problem, the best solution is to adopt an automatic lighting control switch that controls the light by turning … [Read more...]
