Resistance Temperature Detector (RTD) is a type of temperature sensor that operates based on the principle of the change in electrical resistance with temperature. Here’s a breakdown of its definition, principle of operation, advantages, disadvantages, and common uses:
A strain gauge accelerometer is a type of accelerometer that measures acceleration by measuring changes in electrical resistance caused by deformation of strain gauges in response to acceleration. Strain gauge accelerometers are commonly used in vibration measurement applications and can be used to measure vibration acceleration in machines and structures.
Shielded metal arc welding, or SMAW or Manual Metal arc welding, is an essential technique in the joining of metals. When two pieces are welded together by this method a powerful electrical current creates an intense flame that melts and fuses them into one permanent piece.
