Transducer & sensors
- Introduction.
Transducers are the basic elements that converts or transforms one from of energy to another form. Let us change the world ‘energy’ to ‘signal’ which is more convenient to use. A transducer converts one form of signal to the another form without scarifying the principle of law of conservation of energy.
Transducer usually coverts first form of signal to electrical signal.
Transducers are mainly used to quantify the physical, electrical, fluidic, &mechanical variables or parameters such as temperature, pressure, magnetic field, voltage, flow, vibrations etc. such variables or parameters can commonly be called as measurands.
- Various measurands
- Vibrations
- Speed
- Rotations
- Pressure
- Motion
- Intensity of light
- Gas concentration & pH
- Flow
- Color
- Amplitude
- Voltage
- Velocity
- Stress & strain
- Resistance
- Frequency
- Density
- Acceleration
- Vacuum
- Temperature
- Sound
- Radiation
- Length
- Humidity level
- Force & load
- Current
- Angle
- Acoustic field
- Medical imaging
- Position
- Audio field & noise
- Image
- Level
- Magnetic field
- Phase
To measure different measurent a variety of transducers are fabricated.
