Temperature-Humidity Chambers

Temperature-humidity chambers refer to specially designed pieces of equipment used in stability testing to test how well a product or material retains its quality over its lifetime. This equipment provides a trusted and reliable way to conduct stability testing on biological items, industrial products, materials and pharmaceutical products.

These chambers can be used to simulate the exposure of a number of different environmental conditions on products and materials. Some of these environmental conditions include:

• Extreme temperatures

• Sudden and extreme temperature variations

• Moisture or relative humidity

• Electro-dynamic vibrations

• Electromagnetic radiation

• Salt spray

• Rain

• Weathering

• Exposure to sun (causing UV degradation)

When selecting a temperature-humidity chamber, it is essential to thoroughly research what is available in the market based and select the best one based on the needs of each individual project.

Testing Humidity with Chambers:

Temperature-humidity chambers are able to simulate a variety of different weather conditions. In the following section of the article, we will explore how they can be used to test what effect humidity would have on a particular product.

Step 1:

Pierce a humidity capsule and place it in the chamber to create the required levels of humidity. Humidity capsules can be used to produce levels of relative humidity in the range of 0-95%, increasing at 5% increments. The particular humidity capsule should be chosen based on the aims of each particular test.

Step 2:

Place the test sample in a separate section of the chamber.

Step 3:

Place a sensor cap to on top of the unit to tightly seal the temperature-humidity chamber. This will allow you to measure the level of humidity within the unit for the duration of the test.

Step 4:

Affix a logger cap onto the base of the chamber. The logger cap can be connected to any laptop or computer via a USB cable or a wireless connection. If your test is being performed outside of wireless range, you can use aerials and cabling to broadcast the signal of your unit.

Step 5:

Incubate tests at the required temperature. When the tests are complete dispose of the temperature-humidity chamber. Using a temperature-humidity chamber to conduct stability testing can result in a number of practical benefits such as:

• Act as suitable environmental chambers

• Each test is monitored in its own micro-humidity chamber

• You can select from a full range of temperature, weather and humidity conditions

• Allow you to continuously collect data throughout the study for each test

• Chambers assist with lowering cross contamination and improving sample integrity

• The sensors of each chamber can be easily calibrated

• Eliminate the need for alt solutions or desiccators

• Units are easy to set-up

• Units are ideal for working with toxic materials

• The system can be used for monitoring and mapping applications

• Data can be automatically backed up throughout the project.

Additional Thermostat Necessities - Sensors, Humidistats, Subbases, And More!

Have you recently purchased a new thermostat and are interested in keeping it in top condition? Perhaps you need that extra boost for your thermostat control, such as added humidity control, but are not interested in purchasing a whole new thermostat. There are several additional pieces that you may need or simply want for your home comfort control that can benefit your thermostat system. Read on to learn more about pieces you can easily find for yours!

Subbases: Thermostat subbases are usually included with your original thermostat, and if you took apart your thermostat, you would see the subbase already there. However, certain models require a subbase, and sometimes older models require that the subbase be purchased separately. With a conductive grid, the subbase connects heating and cooling mechanisms from your home systems to your thermostat face.

Lock Boxes: A thermostat lock box, also referred to as a thermostat guard, or cover, is simply a protective device for keeping your thermostat safe. Usually lock boxes come in mini, small, medium, or large sizes so that fitting to your exact make and model of thermostat is not a problem. There are of course, lock boxes specifically designed for a certain thermostat. Lock boxes can come in colors or solid white, to hide a dull looking thermostat, or in clear to solely serve as thermostat protection without altering the look of your thermostat. Lock boxes can be locked with keys to stop others from changing your temperature settings and raising your electric bills without your knowledge! Some come with tamper-resistant locks, so the key cannot be removed easily.

Temperature Sensors: Sensors are used with a thermostat to accurately tell and relay surrounding temperatures. There are several types to choose from such as bi-metal, electronic thermistors, and electrical thermocouples. With a temperature sensor, it is possible to relay outdoor temperatures and various temperatures throughout your home easily and quickly, all from a central location.

Humidity Sensors: A humidistat is a device that allows your thermostat to direct not only temperature, but also humidity levels. Like a temperature sensor, a humidity sensor is simply a recording device to give your thermostat the ability to control these two functions simultaneously for ultimate comfort levels in a home.

Audrey Peterson is a Product Specialist with knowledge in the design and applications of a variety of thermostats http://www.honeywell-thermostat.com/thermostat.html She has analyzed several Honeywell models http://www.honeywell-thermostat.com/ and helps to make decision-making process easier with these home products

What Are The Advantages Of Process Sensors?

Factories nowadays, no matter what they produce, follow mostly an automated process through which things move forward from one stage to the other with minimum human intervention. Technology advancements have made it possible to have routinary tasks such as adjusting screws, classifying items according to their size or similar tasks to be done by machines without the need of having an operator worker intervening.

However, no matter how much we trust in the machines and how much we rely on their accuracy, it is still important to be vigilant over the production process and avoid living it unattended.

This is why there are process sensors that play an important role in aiding humans to verify that that automated manufacturing process is being followed without problems or inconvenient. Process sensors ensure that each machine is performing its task correctly and that the final output product meets all the expected requirements and conditions as regards humidity, shape, size, weight or whatever you need to control.

There are different types of process sensors, according to which part of the manufacturing process they have to supervise and what needs to be monitored.

Process sensors are very important because they provide very useful feedback about the condition of the manufacturing process in itself. Thus, the process can be run smoothly and operators can be warned easily if any corrective measure or adjustment needs to be implemented. These kind of supervising devices can be contact or contact-less, meaning that they do not need to touch the parts, environment or products they are checking but that anyway can give useful information to the system. The food industry is one of the main users of process sensors in the manufacturing process of crackers, cereals, potato chips, instant coffee, soya products, powder drinks, roast and ground coffee, tea and milk powders. They are also used in the paper industry, chemicals and animal food products industry.

As it can clearly be seen, process sensors are very advantageous for those industries whose processes can be automated but that, at the same time, require each step of the process to comply with certain requirements such as humidity level, size of the parts, their weight and so on. These devices are especially important as they help to perform and speed up a supervision that not only would be nearly impossible to do for the human eye but also that needs to be done at a specific pace so that the products that are being manufactured do not get delayed.

The Importance Of A Data Logger

A data logger is an electronic sensor device that captures and stores data. This technology includes several data capturing equipment such as plug-in boards. They also include data acquisition devices such as serial communication systems that utilize a main computer. The main computer acts as a real time data recording system.

But for the most part, data loggers are stand alone devices that are multi-functional. The loggers can read several types of electrical signals and then have the ability to store the data in an internal memory. This information can then be downloaded on to a computer. The loggers can still operate without the use of a computer.

These devices come in many different shapes and sizes. They also range in price depending upon the complexity of the technology. Single channel loggers are more economical than loggers that can handle a multitude of inputs. The loggers typically operated by battery and are small and portable. Microprocessor are installed in the data loggers so they can interface with computer programs.

People use these data tools for a variety of reasons. Many major corporations use them for multiple purposes. In the trucking industry, data loggers used to keep a record of the interior temperature when transporting food products. The logger can read and record various changes in temperature. Some loggers also have a humidity sensor which is important when transporting certain goods such as flowers. Data capturing tools can be designed to read other data pertaining to certain conditions in the environment.

Data capturing tools are helpful in understanding and controlling certain aspects when it comes to handling products that are being stored. This helps to assure the quality of the product when it makes it to its final destination. The loggers are great portable devices and since they can function independent of a computer source, they can be taken anywhere and used for in a variety of situations.

These data devices are used in a number of different circumstances. They are often used in restaurants where they are placed in the refrigerators to keep a record of the temperature of the food. This is very important in the food industry to keep foods at their proper temperature so people will not get sick. Data capturing devices are also used in very high tech situations.

Data can be collected in many different ways and downloaded on to a computer. Some loggers are wireless and the data can be transmitted to different types of devices. These instruments are essential for companies to monitor the quality of their products. These loggers make it possible to know if certain products are being stored properly.

Depending on the type of data logger, the information is readily available. The data can also be collected whenever it is needed. There are different types of data loggers that collect information in different ways. The memory capacity also varies depending on the type of device. These tools have many benefits and are used for a multitude of different purposes. They are used in many different types of industries to track important information.

With over 30 years of experience providing technical solutions, we are the data logger leaders.

Tomorrow - Sensors Will be Making You Breakfast

Introduction

The world is changing at a greater rate than ever before. We can hardly keep up with the pace of technology. The future is approaching at such a great speed, that most of us can hardly conceptualize what will come next.

Sensors are playing a tremendous role in the change. They are employed in many industries and achieving a multitude of tasks. Sensors track the behaviors of animals, detect machine malfunctions, facilitate war simulations, and assess the stability of buildings. The number of applications is growing as technology is advancing.

Sensors working together

A monumental achievement comes in the form of the networks in which sensors perform. Sensors function autonomously, but are able to perform greater tasks when working in networks. These networks enable sensors to "read" the environment and react to it.

"Motes" are components of these networks. They are self contained, battery-operated entities that gauge light, temperature, humidity, as well as other factors. Data is collected by each mote, relayed amongst them, and finally sent to a centralized location for retrieval.

Proactive interaction

A new term supported by sensor technology is "proactive computing." The term entails operations where computers anticipate and serve human needs. As of now, we "interact" with our computers, phones, and other devices. A proactive device will be virtually hidden, yet delivering our desires. This technology will warrant thousands of computers, making it impossible to interact with each of them; so, they will communicate with one another and act on our behalf.

The speed at which proactive computing will commence is contingent on the momentum of technology. Motes are composed of microprocessors, microelectromagnetical systems (MEMS), and low-power radios. Time becomes a factor relating to science producing these components with the desired size and power in mind.

In order for networks to "read" the environment, they will essentially have to be everywhere in the environment, blanketing an area to extract information.

Impacting the environment

The following illustrates some feats sensors are accomplishing:

- Detecting, classifying, and tracking soldiers and vehicles amidst sight-evasive conditions to be used in battle scenarios

- Guiding irrigation and planting on farms to increase crop yields

- Monitoring patients' vital signs and aiding in daily living

- Calculating depth and stress of structures to aid in earthquake foresight

Measurement Specialties offers a large variety of sensor products to meet application requirements in many industries including automotive, off-road, medical, industrial, consumer, military/aerospace, test/measurement and traffic applications.

Moisture And Temperature Sensors: Top Domestic Uses

It is quite an undeniable truth that technology advancements, when applied to our home, can make our everyday life not only more comfortable but also easier. From being able to record a TV show we want to see but we will not be at home by the time it is on or to keep up with our laundry, different and more or less sophisticated home appliances help us enjoy our homes more and to do so more efficiently.

Moisture and temperature sensors are quite new technology advancements that are being increasingly adopted by homeowners across the country. They are both used to keep a close control of the humidity level and the temperature in a given environment in order to make sure the house is a cozy place to live in. Let's explore some of their top domestic uses:

Hygrometers and Detection of Leaking Pipes

Placing an hygrometer in the basement can be a great idea, especially if you want to know immediately when a pipe is leaking or there is water filtering from the surrounding ground into the structure of your property. As these instruments are very sensitive, they are able to detect even the slightest change in the level of humidity. Thus, as soon as one of the pipes in your basement starts leaking, this device can let you know by sending you an email or by triggering a buzzing sound.

Temperature Sensors and Room Temperature

With a temperature sensor it is really easy to make sure each and every room of you house is at the adequate temperature. It doesn't matter how cold or hot it is outside, you can always keep your house cozy. Thus, they help you use heaters and air conditioners more efficiently and reduce your gas and electricity bills.

Humidity Analyzers Fight Against Moss and Fungi

Moss and fungi tend to appear in bathrooms, kitchens, basements and in every other place of the house where humidity can be a problem. Fortunately, by installing humidity analyzers it is easier to make sure that your house stays dry so that fungi and moss do not appear.

Moisture Sensors Prevent Allergies

In close relation to the domestic use above mentioned, moisture sensors are also very valuable home appliances that help users prevent allergies and improve their respiratory health. Many people suffer from allergies caused by moss and fungi and, by providing these elements with an inadequate environment, it is really easy to stop allergies from triggering.

Moisture Sensors And Their Importance In The Agricultural Industry

It is not necessary at all to be an expert in agriculture or to have green fingers in order to know that water is essential for a healthy plant growth. Water provides plants and crops with the ability to absorb the minerals and nutrients that are present in the soil and, together with the appropriate sun light do the process of photosynthesis we have all studied at school.

Whenever plants receive the amount of water they require ?they grow healthily but when they are deprived of water they suffer from stress, turn yellower, dry out and finally die. For any of us who has a small balcony with a couple of plants it can sometimes be trickier to know exactly when a plant needs water and, what is even more difficult, determine the correct amount of water it needs. Thus, we touch the soil to see if it is wet or dry and end up pouring some water on it at least twice a week.

It is easy to imagine that, if knowing when a small plant in a flower pot needs watering is difficult, knowing when and how much a crop or a large garden needs watering is even more complex. If crops are not taken care properly, they can get lost and farmers can lose a lot of money. Therefore, it is of utmost importance to know when and how much to water them. In such complex scenario, there is no room for guessing. And this is exactly why moisture analysers, also usually referred to as moisture sensors, play such a significant role. In fact, many a time the experts that are in charge of large crops or gardens usually pair their moisture sensors with their irrigation channels. Thus, when the moisture analyser detects that the soil is dry enough to require watering, the irrigation system is automatically triggered.

Moisture sensors or humidity analysers are highly sensitive devices that estimate the humidity present in a certain product or item, whether it is potato chips, coffee beans, house paint or soil. In the particular case of soil humidity analysers, these devices report how much water is present in the soil by means of determining the soil's ability to transmit electricity. The wetter the soil is, the more electricity the soil will be able to transmit. Thus, it is really easy for agriculture experts to read the reports and know if the crops needs to be watered and, if they do, how much water they need. If these sensitive devices are used in combination with an automatic irrigation system such as water sprinklers or similar technologies, the irrigation system can be automatically triggered when the humidity sensor detects that the ability of the soil to transmit electricity is below the optimum standard and then are ?automatically stopped once the sensor determines that the standard has been reached again.

HF RFID Enabled Sensors Now Available For Use in Hospitals and Healthcare

The recently released ANSI/HIBCC 4.0 standard, created by the Health Industry Business Communications Council provides guidance for use of item/package level data formatting for product identification plus recommends high and low frequencies for individual passive RFID tags in hospitals and healthcare settings. Now healthcare systems integrators and original equipment manufacturers can use new systems that combine HF RFID with sensors.

Besides the concern that improperly tuned passive UHF systems could interfere with sensitive equipment,?13.56 MHz High frequency (HF) RFID provides a secure proximity read - ensuring 100% accuracy on reads that simply can't be achieved with active UHF. HF also provides superior performance on/around liquids and tissues. HF RFID ensures that matching tags to medical equipment and devices does not require complex anti-collision algorithms.

However, besides monitoring of identification, healthcare applications and in particular, pharmaceuticals, sensors are used for monitoring of a variety of parameters like temperature, humidity, IR and shock for temperature sensitive materials and equipment. However, those sensors are either hardwired or add to the background EMI with wireless interfaces. With a sensor IC that communicates with passive HF RFID, sensors can be read with desktop or handheld units or draw power from OEM equipment.

The following illustrates an application where HF RFID enabled sensors make sense in the healthcare supply chain.? Current data loggers commonly used for in transit temperature monitoring of pharmaceuticals typically require each unit to be plugged in individually to download data via USB to a PC. Further, these data loggers are typically sent back to the point of origin for the data upload and analysis.? With proposed revisions to? U.S. Pharmacopeia , Good Storage and Shipping Practices firms may be required to report on the effect and potential remediation to temperature excursions within 24 hours. Under the new proposed guidelines, the time to ship the data loggers to a central location for data upload creates an unnecessary burden on those charged with interpreting and acting on that data.

To improve monitoring processes and meet ANSI/HIBCC 4.0 and , ?Proxima RF has partnered with sensor leader Melexis to create a passive HF -enabled resistive sensor and reader. ?The Melexis MLX90129 is a sensor transponder IC that combines a precise and programmable interface for external resistive sensors that can be used for a wide variety of sensing applications.

What makes this sensor transponder unique is its unusually low power and voltage draw plus the ability to be accessed and controlled through its ISO15693 13.56 MHz high frequency (HF) radio frequency identification (RFID) antenna. There is one internal temperature sensor and two or more external resistive sensor interfaces (depending on configuration) connected via the IC to make battery-less sensing solutions. The read /write "tag" harvests energy from a HF RFID reader to supply a regulated voltage to the other components enabling long term embedded sensing. Adding a simple coin-sized battery enables the standalone data logging mode. The sensor output data is stored in the internal 3.5kbits user memory or can be extended with external memory.

Sensors enabled with passive 13.56 MHz Radio Frequency ID (RFID) can download data direct to the Proxima RF handheld, or desktop reader with NO wires and NO active emitting parts. The combination of HF reads and sensing means that temperature sensitive pharmaceuticals or blood bags, for example, can be tracked in transit and right into the care environment for complete end to end temperature tracking.

High frequency RFID enabled sensors:

Provide superior performance on/around liquids

Ensure secure proximity reads

Can write product ID directly to the sensor "tag"

Include multiple sensing elements; temperature, humidity, light and shock

Come in data logging and battery-less versions

Are easy to calibrate

Have a small footprint

Can be re-used

The Melexis IC tag can be combined with passive HF encrypted RFID tags for the most sensitive applications - all? read with the Proxima RF reader.

How do I create a product with HF RFID enabled sensors?

ProximaRF Technology Corporation and Melexis have partnered to create a unique plug and play, HF RFID enabled sensor development kit so system integrators and product vendors can focus on their cold chain and pharmaceutical applications instead of developing a HF reader.

The kit includes the Proxima RF plug and play USB Desktop reader that comes with a powerful API and evaluation software and development tools, unique to the 13.56 MHz HF RFID industry. The DVK90129 HF RFID enabled resistive sensor development kit also includes an evaluation board from Melexis populated with a temperature, light sensor and potentiometer.

These products are available for sale to end-users, 3PLs, system integrators and suppliers of cold chain or sensor/equipment monitoring software as an extension to their product suites.

About Proxima RF

Proxima RF? designs, develops and manufactures High-Frequency RFID readers, and reader modules. Designed to read ISO15693 tags, CryptoRF ISO 14443B protocols plus HF RFID enabled Melexis 90129 sensor tags, Proxima RF readers are enabling the next generation of near-field and proximity solutions. ProximaRF enables integrators to create user-friendly proximity solutions with ready-to-ship readers, supporting software, OEM designs and sensor tag modules.

8 Steps to Measure the Relative Humidity in Concrete According to the ASTM Standard

Practical advice for measuring humidity

The most common source of error when measuring relative humidity is a difference between the temperature of the probe and the temperature of the environment. At a humidity condition of 50 % RH, a temperature difference of 1 °C (1.8 °F) typically results in an error of 3 % RH on relative humidity.

It is good practice to monitor the display of the moisture meter for temperature stability. The probe should be given sufficient time to come to equilibrium with the environment to be measured. The larger the initial temperature difference between the probe and the environment, the more time is required for temperature equilibrium.

In extreme situations, condensation may occur on the sensors when the probe is colder than the environment. As long as the humidity / temperature limits of the humidity sensor are not exceeded, condensation does not alter the calibration of the sensor. However, the sensor has to dry out before it can provide a valid measurement.

Step 1: Check the correct functionality of the instrument and probe using the humidity standard tube.

Step 2: Concrete floor slab and air space surroundings must be at service temperature / humidity for at least 48 hours.

Step 3: Define numbers of test holes

Step 4: Define depth of test holes

Step 5: Drill and prepare test holes

Step 6: Wait 72 hours for moisture equilibrium

Step 7: Measure

o Insert in-situ probe into sleeve

o Wait for temperature equilibrium

o Check for stable values

Step 8: Report all necessary information

Learn To Avoid Foundation Damage With A Moisture Sensor

More than 70% of our planet is made up of water. Human beings, plants and animals need water to live and, in fact, we need special adaptations in order to live in areas where water is not abundant. Agriculturists hope that it rains as much as their crops need it and we all enjoy rainy Sundays at home. However, water is not always welcome especially if, out of a sudden, we discover that our basement has turned into our own, private ocean.

Having a leaking pipe and suffering from rainwater leaking can definitely have a negative effect in our home foundation, thus leading us to spend thousands of dollars in professional plumbers and professional contractors that are able to bring our home back to normal. When excessive water affects our foundation, it can affect its resistance and durability and be seriously weakened.

It is well known that home owners have to do regular plumbing check ups in their homes in order to be sure that there are no leaking pipes, clogged drains and that there is enough water pressure coming out of the shower and other taps.

But no matter how thorough and responsible we are taking care of our home and its foundation, many a time the leak occurs in a place where we cannot see it easily and, therefore, when we realize that we have a serious foundation problem is too late. We all know that mold and fungi are signs of humidity but many a time they occur in areas of our home we just do not check on a regular basis or are difficult to access.

In such occasions, home owners can rely on having a moisture sensor installed either in the basement or in any other place of their home. A moisture sensor, also called hygrometer or humidity analyzer are extremely sensitive humidity measurement instruments that enable home owners to make sure that the humidity in a certain room is kept within certain acceptable ranges. When the moisture sensor indicates that there is much more relative humidity in the environment than expected it immediately reports that to the home owner who are then able to promptly fix the problem.

There are different types of moisture sensors available in the market. Some of them are large and very sophisticated and are more suitable for industrial use. Others are relatively small and much less affordable. Shop around carefully and you will surely find one tailored suit to your needs.

The Importance of Humidity Inside of Your House

Humidity is the concentration of water in the air. This is very important to consider even when inside the home. You should monitor the levels of humidity in your home to keep them from getting too high or too low. Now that many people spend more and more of their time indoors, it is important that the conditions indoors are healthy.

What are the risks? If you would like to avoid mold/mildew, fungi, viruses, dust mites, harmful bacteria, termites and carpet ants, then you should monitor the level of humidity in you home. All of these things breed in moist, humid conditions. A runny nose, itchy eyes, increased chemical sensitivity, throat irritation and headaches can result from the development of these things because of high humidity and dampness, or low humidity and dryness inside of a home. High humidity in the home can make it more difficult to breath, which can cause fatigue. Low humidity is bad for your eyes and skin.

If you have wooden structures in your home, they can be damaged by expanding or contracting with the changes in moister in the surrounding air. Furniture can crack, weaken and develop mildew if not kept at the right humidity. When this happens, a poor smell can develop if not taken care of. You don't really want small green organisms taking over in your living room, do you?

If you have high levels of humidity in your home, you might want to consider purchasing a dehumidifier to reduce the dampness of the air. Higher levels of humidity are likely in the summer months. You should plan to buy a humidity sensor to find out and keep track of what the humidity level in your home is. An air conditioner may assist you in balancing the humidity in the air during the summer. Lower levels of humidity are likely in the winter. Since this can also affect your health and cause dry skin and throat irritation, you should consider using a humidifier to raise the humidity to a healthy level.

Whether you live in an apartment or a house, you should get a humidity sensor, an air conditioner and humidifier. To keep you and your family comfortable and healthy, you should take the proper precautions to insure that the humidity levels are not extremely high and not extremely low. This will also protect your furniture. This is just a word to the wise, since you will probably spend most of your time indoors, if you are like most people nowadays.

Leslie Johnson is a Director of ASC. He was promoted to the Regional Director of Asia, and has been living out there with his family for nearly two years. He cannot stand the heat and humidity out there, especially when they are burning the forest.

Wireless Humidity and Temperature Sensor: 5 Common Uses for Environmental Sensors

1. Temperature and Humidity: You can monitor critical temperatures continuously and in real time with a system that wirelessly monitors the temperature of equipment (cold or hot) anywhere in your building such as: kitchens, laboratories, pharmacies, nursing and medical stations as well as off-site facilities. The system can page, e-mail and visually alert any computer screen the moment food, lab samples, pharmaceuticals or other temperature sensitive items are outside the prescribed parameters. Wireless humidity and temperature sensors allow flexibility, reduce wiring cost and transmit data up to 100 feet without the use of a repeater. The unit is battery powered using two AA batteries and it uses a 418 MHz transmitter so you can change the location of the sensors without worrying about extra labor costs.

2. Barometric pressure: The wireless sensor system also provides Web-based monitoring humidity, and barometric pressure in critical HVAC and refrigeration applications. The compact wireless "end devices" mount on the wall in clean rooms, laboratories, museums, computer server rooms, warehouses, and any remote facility. You can select one end device to serve as an internal or external sensor, in order to monitor temperature and humidity both inside and outside a climate-controlled facility. Another bonus is that these devices are designed for harsh environments such as outdoor weather, HVAC ducts, freezers and refrigerators.

3. Water Detection Sensors: These detection sensors have a remote monitoring system which uses an 802.11 Wi-Fi network of water leak detection in pipelines, agricultural fields, server rooms and more and is available with various other applications.

4. CO2 Sensors: With these sensors you can monitor the CO2 levels continuously and in real time. It is a system that uses your existing Wi-Fi network and is ideal for indoor air quality, HVAC management, environmental surveillance, greenhouses, and incubators. You will receive a page, e-mail and visual alert on any computer screen whenever your measurements are outside the prescribed parameters, making your home and/or workplace safer.

5. PH Sensors: This sensor is ideal for storage applications where continuous pH monitoring is required such as: health care, food storage and inside a laboratory. As with the CO2 sensors, you will receive a page, e-mail and visually alert on any computer screen whenever your measurements are outside the prescribed parameters.

Just some of the various reasons to install them, environmental sensors are easy to add to your life, take up little space, and work effectively to make your work easier, safer and more effective.

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.

Wine Storage: How Humidity Affects Your Wine

When you think about wine storage, one of the last things to cross your mind is how will humidity affect it. Most people blindly store their wine wherever they can find a place for it, whether it is in the refrigerator, downstairs in the basement bar, or in a kitchen cabinet. However, what many people fail to realize is that both temperature and humidity have large effects on wine. This means that wine storage anywhere you can put it can truly ruin the taste and quality.

The fact of the matter is that thought does have to go into storage. In all honestly wine is probably of the hardest liquids to store properly as it isn't something you should put wherever you have space. Though there are all sorts of information available on wine storage, there are so many different opinions and answers that it can be hard to decipher which one is most accurate.

If you know anything about wine, you may be well aware of something we call wine coolers. Wine coolers are storage units made specifically for wine. This means that there is a set temperature, humidity level, and a set amount of light for each wine cooler. Wine coolers are one of the most effective and easiest means of wine storage.

When it comes to storage, humidity plays a large role simply because humidity is what is used to seal and cork the bottle. Humidity is needed so that the cork holds the bottle closed tightly as to prevent spillage. At the same time too much humidity can ruin the cork as well as the bottle's label, so it's important to ensure your wine is stored at the right humidity.

If the cork becomes damaged or deteriorated, the solid seal is broken and the wine will start to allow for oxidation. This will cause any wine to become extremely bitter as the oxidation will turn the wine into vinegar.

How do I know which humidity is correct?

If you're storing your wine bottles in a wine cooler, it isn't as important to pay attention to the humidity levels as the wine coolers are made in such a way to create a pretty ideal environment to store wine in. if you do not own a wine cellar, you'll want to find a place where you can store your wine within a 50-70% humidity level.

You will do more damage to your wine when the humidity level is too low. If the humidity level is too high you simply face a ruined wine bottle label. Of course, it is best if you can store your wine within in the 50-70% range to ensure that your wine tastes as good as it was meant to. To determine the humidity of an environment you'll need to find a hygrometer or a humidity sensor. Both will be able to give you the humidity reading within any environment.

Advantages Of Sensored Clothes Dryers

Clothes dryers are, probably, busy moms' best friends. They are really convenient and practical if you have a large family or if you live in a wet, rainy area and your clothes take a lot of time to dry up. Even if you are a mom of a single child you can find that clothes dryers are highly advantageous as they allow you to get rid of the lining rope and they help you have your clothes ready to be ironed in no time.

If you shop around for clothes dryers you will probably be surprised by the wide variety of them that is available in the market. If you want to buy one or if you have to replace yours, it is highly advisable that you opt for a sensored one.

Let's first explain that a sensored clothes dryer is not "sensitive" but it comes with an in built moisture sensor that will help you take proper care of your clothes. Moisture sensors are highly technical devices that are sensitive to humidity and moisture. They are widely used in varied and multiple industrial and factory environments and they play a very important role in helping factory operators make sure that the products they produce comply with the strictest industrial expectations. For instance, they are used in the food and beverage industry to dry up coffee beans, barley grains, potato chips and breakfast cereals and in the pharmaceutical industry to ensure that the humidity does not affect the properties of chemical compounds.

Clothes dryers with an in built moisture sensor dry up clothes until this device notes that the humidity level in the piece of clothing is imperceptible and it turns the unit off. Thus, as you can easily appreciate, the fibers of your clothing are preserved from excessive dryness or heat and you are also saving in electricity.

These sophisticated clothes drying units can be a bit more expensive than other models but they are much more advantageous.

Not only are your clothes kept in better condition so there is no risk of accidentally shrinking them but also you do not risk setting your house on fire because the unit over heats.

Sensor dryers usually can be adjusted to different levels according to the type of clothing you have put into the device:

· Level 1: The fabrics will have a very low moisture level so that you can iron them more easily.

· Level 2: It is great for those clothes that will be placed on hangers. The little moisture left will disappear as your clothes are hanged.

· Level 3: It ensures you that the clothes are absolutely dry so that they do not get musty or start to smell badly.

Humidity Measurement

The measurement of pressure dew point in compressed air systems or gas distribution networks has become more important recently. Manufacturers worldwide are getting aware of negative effects of having too much moisture in the air / gas pipes, as it can cause:

Corrosion in the pipes
Reduces lifespan of pneumatic parts
Failures in actuators
Contamination of compressed air system in general
Unscheduled production stops.
Incalculable additional production costs

Dryers used to remove moisture from gas, are not always performing as they intend to do, mostly caused by a poor maintenance. Humidity measurement acts as a kind of insurance system, monitoring the dryer performance and indicating alarms whenever values are out of valid ranges. As a result it provides:

Fast responses to failures in compressed air drying through permanent monitoring of pressure dew point.
Increase the lifespan of compressed air system and it components.
Make maintenance of the compressed air system more efficient.
Ensures stable quality of products through less problems in operation of the system

But humidity measurement is not only restricted to applications in air / gas drying. There are many more processes in industry where a well monitored dew point is crucial for the overall process and the quality of the products.

Applications for dew point monitoring:

Plastic injection and blow molding
High voltage switch gears and transformers
Spray painting process
Bottle filling
Medical gases
Pipeline drying

Compressed air is used in brake systems and door openers of rail vehicles. It has to be free of any condensate otherwise the brake system and the pneumatic door openers may freeze in winter and corrosion damages in the distribution network and at pneumatic components (cylinders, valves) can occur. For this reason a regular dew point measurement is essential.

The humidity sensor provides reliable and long term stable dew point monitoring in industrial applications. The newly developed sensor features improved signal and stability in demanding industrial applications. Drifts caused by temperature changes, dust and aging are eliminated by the electronics providing reliable measurements. Recalibration interval thus could be increased to 2 years.

The measured dew point is output via a 4-20 mA signal output. The integrated display shows online measurement values and alarm status. One alarm can be programmed which will activate a relay.

Benefits

Humidity sensor for low dew point applications down to -80 oC
Graphic display, relay output
IP65 casing provides robust protection in rough environment
Very fast response time ensures safe and reliable indication
Can be installed directly into dryers through G 1/2" thread
High accuracy of ±2 oC dew point

Predict The Future With A Humidity Temperature Sensor

A humidity temperature sensor is a handy equipment to have. If you know how to read the data that it provides, you can use it to essentially control your indoor environmental conditions. Most people think that just controlling the temperature of a room or office is the key to feeling at optimal levels. While this is partially true, you also need to consider the amount of water vapor in the air or the "humidity" in the equation.

There are many definitions of a comfortable indoor environment. It may mean different things to different people. It could mean that a home or desk at work adorned with so many beautiful things like precious ornaments, valuable artifacts and expensive decorations.

For some individuals, they look at the practical side before they consider their haven comfortable and convenient. And one of these factors is the ability of the space to control and regulate the temperature, thereby making it livable and conducive to more efficient working conditions in extreme hot summer days or cold freezing nights.

An efficient home is an insulated home, capable of defending itself from scorching heat conditions. High humidity inside your precious abode is a sure killer of your family and your health. Yes, we are speaking of mold and mildew growth.

In addition, they will certainly shorten the lives of your expensive appliances and electronics which do not thrive in extreme heat condition. The microchips embedded in your laptop, computer and other gadgets easily break apart in terms of function when exposed in heat.

Thus, there is an important need, in such conditions, to have your space insulated to prevent trapping heat inside it. As you may guess, in order for the occupants to be comfy and television and computers to function properly it could get costly if you do not have a way of monitoring your indoor conditions and nip potential issues in the bud.

By having a humidity temperature sensor on hand, it can alert you to potential issues before they happen. It could even allow you to allocated funds in advance to purchase new air conditioning systems because you can practically foresee that replacement of the old system may be in the cards.

It is highly important that you have sufficient knowledge on cooling systems. Be friends with your heating, ventilation and cooling systems. Treat them right with regular maintenance and repairs if necessary and they will, in turn provide you with efficient indoor environments.

Go to: Humidity Temperature Sensor for more information about this topic. Another, related site promoting comfort in your indoor environment is on the Air Conditioner Window Unit.

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.

Arduino Temperature, Humidity and Dew Point Via Hurimel HS1101 Sensor Interface

A great option for adding temperature and humidity (and dew point) measurement to the Arduino (and freeduino) is to use the Hurimel HS1101 sensor.? It is packages as a small board, approximately 1" x 2" with 4 screw terminals.

The only electrical connections are these 4 - 1 for ground, and 3 I/O pins used on the Arduino - 1 analog and 2 digital.?? The pin references used in this article are taken from a Freeduino BBB board.

The 4 pins on the Hurimel are THERM, PULSE, GND and V+.?? Besides a connection to ground on the Arduino, 3 additional pins will be required - an analog and 2 digital pins.? One digital pin is used to provide power (+5VDC), in this example, pin 2 is connected to the V+ screw terminal on the Hurimel.?? Digital pin 5 can be used to count the pulses, connected to the PULSE screw terminal on the Hurimel.? Finally an analog input is required for the temperature reading.? Analog pin A5 on the Arduino connected to the THERM screw terminal on the Hurimel.? Note that a 10k resistor must also be placed between 5V and analog pin A5 on the Arduino.

In summary, the electrical connections in this example are:?

Arduino BBB digital pin 2? -- Hurimel V+ screw terminal
digital pin 5 -- Hurimel PULSE terminal.
GND pin/connection -- Hurimel GND terminal.
Arduino BBB analog pin A5 -- Hurimel THERM terminal.
analog pin A5 -- 10k resistor -- Arduino BBB GND +5v DC pin/connection

In a future article, the Arduino source code required to read the temperature, humidity and dew point measurements will be discussed.

Fibre Optic Sensors - An Introduction

Fibre optic sensors are used all over the world in a range of different environments and applications. They are defined as devices that can measure physical parameters through the effects placed upon the fibre and how light is passed through the fibre.

Fundamentally fibre optic sensors are used most frequently to measure physical properties such as strain, temperature, humidity and pressure although they are also used to monitor velocity and acceleration in some situations. In terms of applications they are frequently used to monitor the health of structures, providing measurements in real time of the forces placed upon a building.

One of these applications is in buildings and also bridges where monitoring is carried out to detect changes in the overall structure. Fibre optic sensors are also frequently used to measure properties in tunnels and dams. In these situations sensors are frequently used to monitor foundations, spatial displacement, subsidence and in some cases post-seismic evaluation after earthquakes.

There are a number distinct advantages to using optic sensors. These include:

• Immunity to EMI (electromagnetic interference) and also RFI (radio frequency interference).

• Safe and stable use in extreme environments where there are high temperatures, explosions and extreme vibration.

• Small in size and high sensitivity.

There are two main types of sensor extrinsic and intrinsic.

• Extrinsic sensors utilise optical fibres as a means of transferring signals. Frequently these fibres enter a light modulator box that has a light beam passing through it.

• Intrinsic sensors differ fundamentally from extrinsic varieties in that the sensing actually takes place within the fibre. In this instance the sensing is a result of the way in which the fibre is affected by direct physical changes. Essentially the strains put upon the fibre change the way in which light passes through the fibre. The change in light behaviour provides a measurement.

Fibre optic sensors are used in a wide range of industries, from building and construction to oil and gas measurements. It is the specific properties of fibre optics that make them so useful within sensing instrumentation.

The use of fibre optic sensors is based upon the stability of light as a way to make measurements and also the physical size and properties of fibre optics more widely.

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.

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.

Advantages Of A Humidity Temperature Sensor

Having a humidity temperature sensor at home can make your life incredibly much more comfortable. As long as you learn how to read and interpret the data it provides, this highly technical device enables you to adjust the humidity and temperature conditions in your house to the most comfortable and healthy levels.

Having a humidity temperature sensor can even be the key to feeling at ease in every room at your house or office at work. Although many people believe that having the temperature of a room under control is enough so that it is neither too hot nor too warm, in fact it is also of utmost importance to take into consideration the relative humidity present in the environment as well. What is more, many people are more sensitive to extreme humidity conditions than they are to extreme temperatures and develop allergies, dry noses or running noses even.

Odds are that if you survey people about which the most comfortable environment at a room or office are you will receive plenty of different answers. Some people will describe to you a room with a nice sofa and a tea table at the side, some good books and soft music background; others will talk about a large wooden L-shaped desk and an ergonomic chair; and others will talk about just a lit fireplace and some cushions to sit on. You may also receive some more practical replies such as the ones related to being able to control the temperature of the room so that they can be working or enjoying a movie on TV on clothes that allow them relax without having to suffer from hot or cold.

In order to manage your home and work environment efficiently it is of utmost importance that you have your home insulated from the conditions outdoors. If you are able to keep humidity away you will prevent fungi and mold from appearing. And if you can keep an average nice temperature you will be able to ensure a longer life to many of your electrical appliances that are sensitive to heat and cold such as microchips embedded in ID cards or the microprocessor of your laptop or netbook.

And you only need a humidity temperature sensor to keep your house or office insulated. These highly technical devices can be used to efficiently monitor the temperature and humidity levels at a certain room in order to ensure that it is always within a certain acceptable range. If it gets too cold, it can heat up the room and it can cool it down if it is too hot. And as regards humidity, it can make the environment drier whenever that it is needed.
