The temperature of numerous items must be known for an aircraft to be operated properly. Engine oil, carburetor mixture, inlet air, free air, engine cylinder heads, heater ducts, and exhaust gas temperature of turbine engines are all items requiring temperature monitoring. Many other temperatures must also be known. Different types of thermometers are used to…
Monitoring the temperature, moisture content and carbon dioxide (CO2) levels in stored grain is essential to maintaining quality. Aeration with ambient air is the most common method used to manage grain temperature, moisture content, and CO2 levels. Still, the complexities of stored grain ecosystems make effective monitoring and optimal management challenging, especially as storage bins…
Thermal sensors based on optical cavities have extremely high precision spectrally resolved optical responses, but their measurements need complex spectrometric systems in stable fixtures, which restricts their biological uses. Temperature-dependent color variations are also evident in phase-changing materials such as liquid crystals, although their apparent color might be limited by the surrounding illumination, viewing angles,…
Temperature is one of the most critical factors in managing plastics processing. In response, an entire industry has grown up around creating sensors and other devices to monitor and measure process temperatures. Yet even sophisticated thermal technologies sometimes need an upgrade, particularly when companies are trying the improve the productivity and quality of their processes.…
The most commonly measured physical parameter is temperature whether in process industry applications or in laboratory settings. Exact measurements are critical part of success. Exact measurements are needed for many applications such as medical applications, materials research in labs, studies of electronic or electrical components, biological research, and geological studies. Most commonly, temperature sensors are…
Celebrating 25 years of business, Blaze Technical Services of Stow, Ohio, will be sponsoring the Jim Dunn Racing team at this year’s Dodge//SRT NHRA U.S. Nationals. The race team and driver, Jim Campbell, are looking forward to the Big Go to showcase its new red, white, and blue Blaze-sponsored Dodge Charger Funny Car. Among the…
A Temperature Sensor is an instrument utilized to measure heat or temperature on the working part of machines. There are various types of temperature sensors. The temperature sensor, such as electrical thermometers, includes a specific armor and a unit from one or more elements, which can contain, for instance, neck tube, connection head, hand grip,…
Blaze Technical Services will be flying its popular nostalgia flame pattern on the Jim Dunn Racing Funny Car at this year’s NHRA national event in Norwalk. The black background, highlighted by purple, blue, and green scalloped flames, is a retro look befitting Jim Dunn’s legendary role in drag racing for the past 60 years. Blaze,…
The term temperature sensor refers to a class of devices that provide a measurement of the temperature of objects, and either display a reading directly or produce an output signal whose value can be translated into a temperature reading. Temperature is a fundamental measurement of thermal energy and can be thought of as a measure…
The Modern Brewing IndustryBrewing is a key economic activity in many countries. In 2020, the market size of the global beer industry was ~$605 billion, with this figure predicted to rise to over $800 billion by 2030. Rapid population growth, urbanization, and individuals’ improving finances have led to the demand for high-quality products. Consequently, consumer…
