Guide to industrial sensors
Find out more about industrial sensors and measurement technology – from pressure, temperature and level to flow, force and position. This guide will help you understand how different sensors work and what you need to consider when choosing the right solution for your application.
Flow meter guide for water, gas and mass flow
Learn how to choose the right flow meter for water, gas and mass flow. This guide covers measurement principles, accuracy, flow range, pressure, temperature and installation to help you find the right solution for your application.
The difference between EMC, EMI, RFI and ESD
Learn the difference between EMC, EMI, RFI and ESD, and how these concepts are linked. This guide explains what they mean, the types of interference they describe, and why the right protection is important for reliable electronics.
Choose the right EMI or EMC seal
Learn how to choose the right EMI gasket and EMC seal based on the application, material, contact pressure and environmental requirements. We compare leading silicone, knitted gaskets, fabric-over-foam, form-in-place and beryllium copper fingers.
Ice and snow warning system, automatic control of heating cables
Snow, ice and slippery conditions can quickly cause problems on exposed areas of a property. Garage driveways, ramps, loading bays, stairs and walkways need to be kept safe, whilst ice build-up in, for example, gutters, downpipes and roof drains can cause other problems. With an ice and snow alarm, the heating cables can be controlled automatically based on actual conditions. By sensing both temperature and humidity, the system can activate the heating when there is a risk of ice or snow forming, rather than the heating cables being active simply because the temperature is low.
