Moisture And Temperature Sensors And Their Domestic Use


Industry men and factory operators are nowadays quite acquainted with moisture sensors and temperature sensors. They know that these delicate and sophisticated instruments play a very important role in helping them ensure that the products being manufactured are under the right environment conditions and that, therefore, they will be able to comply with the high and strict industry standards.

These instruments are widely use in a diverse number of industries such as the human and pet food factories, computer processors, chemical and pharmaceutical labs, wooden and leather industry, beer breweries and so on.

For ordinary people just like you and me, reading about moisture analyzers and temperature sensors seems totally new and very difficult to understand. However, believe it or not, we are also quite familiar with them as many home appliances and domestic tools come with one of them.

Moisture analyzers or hygrometers help individuals ensure that the humidity in a certain environment is kept within certain accepted parameters. Temperature meters or thermometers are used to ensure that the environment is not exposed to excessive heat or cold.

Amongst the home appliances that come with a humidity analyzer we can mention the air conditioner. The hygrometer can sense when the device has absorbed enough humidity so that the temperature starts to decrease and turns the engine off, to turn it on again later on when the level of humidity has risen again.

Clothes dryers are also home appliances that come with a moisture and temperature analyzer. The hygrometer can be easily calibrated by the owner so that the fibers of the clothes are not exposed to unnecessary dryness. Many women like to leave their clothes slightly damp as it is then easier for them to iron them or because they prefer to have them dried hanging from a peg. Temperature sensors, in the same way, prevent the fibers of the clothes from being exposed to excessive heat which may cause them to shrink.

The moisture analyzer can also be found in many gardens connected to the irrigation system. It is generally adopted by gardeners in areas where either it rains quite a lot or there is a lack of natural water as the hygrometer allows them to water their plants more efficiently while preventing overwatering them. This instrument is placed in the soil and it detects when it reaches certain level of humidity that is lower than expected and so the irrigation system is triggered automatically.

Discover The Importance Of Moisture And Temperature Sensors


Unless you are an experienced factory operator or an industry manager, there are great chances that you believe that the coffee you pour in the coffee machine every morning smells so delicious just because you have stored it in a dry and dark place or that the breakfast cereals that your children enjoy so much are crispy because you always remember to close the plastic bag carefully. And although these two daily routines are indeed important, coffee smells delicious and your cereals are crispy and your potato chips are not humid because they were also well taken care of during their specific manufacturing processes.

Factory operators and industry owners and managers are well aware of the fact that their main responsibility is to produce products that their customers are eager to purchase over and over again because of their high quality and to keep up with the ever increasing industry standards. In some occasions, industry workers can ensure that the products they are manufacturing are of good quality or that they comply with the standards quite easily because the aspects to be monitored can be effortlessly distinguished or measured with their naked eyes or hands. However, in most occasions, they need to rely on specific and sophisticated equipment called process sensors in order to make sure that the temperature or humidity of the item being made are the correct ones.

Process sensor is the generic name given to moisture analyzers and temperature sensors, which are sophisticated instruments that are used in wide variety of industries. Amongst them we can mention the animal and pet food industry, breweries, chemical and pharmaceutical labs and wood factories.

Moisture sensors are also usually referred to as hygrometers or humidity analyzers and they are situated along different steps of the manufacturing process. They help factory operators be sure that barley used to make beer is not stored wet, that potato chips are dry enough before entering into the packaging process and that coffee beans are not packed wet so that they taste and smell sour when consumed. As not all manufacturing processes are the same or require the same level of humidity in every step, factories usually place different hygrometers to keep a close monitoring of the humidity level all throughout the manufacturing procedure. Each time, a sample is taken and weighed. Then it is introduced into the moisture sensor and dried out. After that it is weighed again and the difference in weight lets the operators know if the humidity level is acceptable or if any change needs to be made.

Temperature sensors are mainly used in laboratories where chemical compounds may lose their valuable properties if they are exposed to very high or low temperatures.

Process Sensors And Their Role In Industrial Environments


Just as technical advancements have made our life easier and more comfortable, they have also had a positive and impressive impact in our working environment. Business organizations rely on computers and machines to satisfy their customers' expectations all year round and all day round and in almost every case to ensure high levels of productivity.

Industries and factories also require technical devices to help them perform at their best level, keep up with their clients' expectations and comply with the industry standards. Thus, industries and factories many a time rely on process sensors to make sure that the products being manufactured are being produced within the acceptable standards.

There are different process sensors available in the market. Some of them are specific to some industries while others can be shared by many. Two of the most popular ones are humidity sensors and temperature analyzers. We are going to deal with both of them in this article as they are quite generic and they are widely used in several industries.

HUMIDITY SENSORS

Humidity sensors are also popularly referred to as moisture analyzers or hygrometers. They are highly sophisticated instruments that allow factory owners and operators make sure that the product being manufactured is not exposed to the wrong levels of humidity and that it is being produced in an environment that has the right content of moisture. Believe it or not, this is quite a serious issue that has to be handled with accuracy and care. There are many products that can be ruined if they are exposed to more wetness than what they really need. For instance, if potato chips are packed wet they will taste sour when we eat them and coffee beans may smell sour and rotten if they are packed when they are not well dried enough. The wood industry also needs moisture analyzers: wood has to be dry enough to be able to cut it into pieces but wet enough to remain flexible. Industries use different hygrometers along the manufacturing process to keep close track of the humidity conditions in the environment.

TEMPERATURE METERS

Temperature meters are usually called thermometers and, as their name suggests, they are used to measure the temperature present in the manufacturing environment. They play an essential role in the chemical industry as chemical compounds cannot be exposed to dramatic changes in temperature or to very high or low temperatures under the risk of losing their properties.

Moisture Sensors Can Prevent Foundation Damage


Home owners are well aware of the fact that preventing foundation damage is of utmost importance to ensure the integrity of their property. If the foundation of their home is damaged, then the stability and resiliency of the property is endangered and the lives of all the people living in it is put at risk too.

Apart from a bad constructed foundation, one of the most common issues that this basic part of our homes can suffer from is water damage. Either we live in an extremely wet area and the soil gets extremely wet and takes a lot of time to dry out or our house draining system is clogged so that it does not work properly. No matter the reason, if the house foundation gets wet, we may start finding humidity stains on walls and moss and fungi on ceilings and corners.

Leaking pipes are also a common cause of foundation problems. Many a time, problematic pipes can be easily detected and repaired by a professional plumber. But other times they are really very difficult to detect and, when we do, it is already too late. Either the damage in our piping system is too extensive or we discover overnight that our basement has turned into our own ocean.

Fortunately, technology advancements have come to make the life of home owners much more valuable and easy. Now, there are instruments that can accurately help home owners detect an excess of humidity somewhere in their house so that they can immediately try to solve it.

One of the most interesting technical advancements that have appeared in this sense are humidity sensors. These devices are also popularly referred to as moisture analyzers or hygrometers. These are devices that are extremely sensitive to humidity and that can accurate measure the relative humidity present in a certain environment and report the values to the user. Thus, he can decide if they are within acceptable ranges or if they need to be somehow adjusted. In the case of a home owner, if according to the hygrometer the environment is too wet, he can then decide to call a plumber to do a major check up. Moisture sensors can be placed in basements so that any unusual level of moisture can be detected. Moisture sensors are really easy to calibrate and to operate as they are simplified but accurate versions of the instruments used for industrial or manufacturing purposes.

Exploring the Technology of Humidity Sensors


Science and processing technology rely on humidity sensors as part of control systems in a variety of applications. Many people are aware of the relative humidity number reported by the local weather reporter on TV. While this helps the average citizen prepare for his day, it is only one very small reason for the existence of sensors to measure humidity. Humidity has impacts on a wide range of industrial and scientific processes and makes a difference in everyone's daily lives. This short article will examine the technology and uses of humidity measurement.

The basic definition of humidity is the water vapor content in a gas such as air or nitrogen. Notice this refers to water vapor - not water in any form. Water existing as a mist or ice crystal in air is not within the definition of humidity. Also, humidity is discussed in various terms depending on how the measurement is made and used. Within certain ranges it is possible to calculate the equivalent measurement in different terms, such as converting relative humidity measurements to dew point temperatures.

Three often used measurement terms are relative humidity, dew point and absolute humidity. Each of these is measured differently and used differently in process controls or data recording applications. Humidity measurement methods have evolved tremendously over the decades.

Early scientists realized human hair changed when water content in the surrounding air changed. This led to mechanical devices that indicated humidity by the changes in a strand of hair. Both human hair and horse hair were used to power indicators or chart recorders. Materials technology provided nylon and other synthetic fibers that were more predictable and easily calibrated. Today, relative humidity sensors are solid-state electronic devices with lower cost and greater robustness.

Dew point is the combination of temperature and gas pressure at which water vapor begins to condense into liquid. Most people understand this in weather report terms but it is an important factor in many scientific calculations and processes outside of weather. Early dew point measurements used chilled mirror technology which was both expensive and temperature limited. Modern electronic dew point sensors are accurate down to -40degrees F.

Absolute humidity is the precise measurement or calculation of the mass of water vapor in a given volume of air or other gas. (Expressed as grams per cubic meter or grains per cubic foot) This is the most useful measurement for a variety of applications. One interesting application is in drag racing. The grains [of water in the ambient air] number is used by all race teams in setting up their racing engines. Modern electronics can measure absolute humidity at temperatures greater than 200 degrees C in almost any environment.

Sometimes process stability problems are related to humidity changes in the process environment. Monitoring humidity can provide clues why results are not consistent. Painting quality can suffer when humidity changes and the process is not adjusted to compensate. The wide range of sensors on the market today assures coverage for any perceivable application.

Humidity sensor manufacturers can deliver accuracy, robustness, size, and cost to meet just about any scientific or technological requirement. Some online research is sure to reveal a variety of options for any application. This article should provide just enough information to make your research more effective.

Many people are aware of the relative humidity number reported by the local weather reporter on TV. While this helps the average citizen prepare for his day, it is only one very small reason for the existence of sensors to measure humidity. Humidity has impacts on a wide range of industrial and scientific processes and makes a difference in everyone's daily lives. This short article will examine the technology and uses of humidity measurement.

The basic definition of humidity is the water vapor content in a gas such as air or nitrogen. Notice this refers to water vapor - not water in any form. Water existing as a mist or ice crystal in air is not within the definition of humidity. Also, humidity is discussed in various terms depending on how the measurement is made and used. Within certain ranges it is possible to calculate the equivalent measurement in different terms, such as converting relative humidity measurements to dew point temperatures.

Three often used measurement terms are relative humidity, dew point and absolute humidity. Each of these is measured differently and used differently in process controls or data recording applications. Humidity measurement methods have evolved tremendously over the decades.

Early scientists realized human hair changed when water content in the surrounding air changed. This led to mechanical devices that indicated humidity by the changes in a strand of hair. Both human hair and horse hair were used to power indicators or chart recorders. Materials technology provided nylon and other synthetic fibers that were more predictable and easily calibrated. Today, relative humidity sensors are solid-state electronic devices with lower cost and greater robustness.

Dew point is the combination of temperature and gas pressure at which water vapor begins to condense into liquid. Most people understand this in weather report terms but it is an important factor in many scientific calculations and processes outside of weather. Early dew point measurements used chilled mirror technology which was both expensive and temperature limited. Modern electronic dew point sensors are accurate down to -40degrees F.

Absolute humidity is the precise measurement or calculation of the mass of water vapor in a given volume of air or other gas. (Expressed as grams per cubic meter or grains per cubic foot) This is the most useful measurement for a variety of applications. One interesting application is in drag racing. The grains [of water in the ambient air] number is used by all race teams in setting up their racing engines. Modern electronics can measure absolute humidity at temperatures greater than 200 degrees C in almost any environment.

Sometimes process stability problems are related to humidity changes in the process environment. Monitoring humidity can provide clues why results are not consistent. Painting quality can suffer when humidity changes and the process is not adjusted to compensate. The wide range of sensors on the market today assures coverage for any perceivable application.

Humidity sensor manufacturers can deliver accuracy, robustness, size, and cost to meet just about any scientific or technological requirement. Some online research is sure to reveal a variety of options for any application. This article should provide just enough information to make your research more effective.
