Measuring sensors are devices used to measure various physical or chemical quantities. These sensors receive an input signal, process this signal and provide information about the measured quantity as output. Measurement sensors have a wide range of applications and can be used in industrial, medical, scientific and domestic fields.
- Temperature Sensors: Used to measure temperature. There are different types such as thermocouple, thermistor and thermocouple sensors.
- Pressure Sensors: Used to measure gas or liquid pressure. There are types such as piezoelectric, resistive and capacitive pressure sensors.
- Motion Sensors: Used to detect the movement of objects. PIR (Passive Infrared) sensors, accelerometers and magnetic sensors are examples of this category.
- Light Sensors: Used to measure the light in the environment. Photodiodes, phototransistors and LDRs (Light-Dependent Resistors) are examples of these types of sensors.
- Magnetic Field Sensors: Used to measure the magnetic field. Hall effect sensors are an example of this category.
- Humidity Sensors: Used to measure environmental humidity level. Capacitive, resistive and thermal humidity sensors are included in this category.
- Chemical Sensors: Used to measure specific chemical compounds. Gas sensors, pH sensors and biosensors are examples of this category.
- Ultrasonic Sensors: Use ultrasonic sound waves to measure the distance of objects. Widely used as distance sensors.
These sensors are used in various industrial processes, medical devices, automotive applications, smart home systems and many more. Each sensor type is designed for a specific measurement task and has various features depending on the areas in which it is used.
