09.04.2021What is liquified petroleum gas and how does it work?What is liquified petroleum gas? Liquified petroleum gas (LPG) is a fuel providing energy that can be found in our everyday life as it is used in many household appliances for cooking, heating, and hot water. It is called liquefied gas because it is easily transformed into a liquid. LPG needs only low pressure or […]
01.03.2021What is the difference between pressure sensors, transducers, switches & transmitters?The terms pressure sensors, transducers, transmitters and switches are very commonly used in the industry. But what is their actual difference? Sensors vs Transducers vs Transmitters vs Switches Strictly speaking, their simplified technical definitions are as follows: Sensor or transducer: A device that translates a physical property (pressure, temperature, humidity etc.) to an electrical signal. […]
