Thermopile Power Sensors
Thermopile optical power sensors are based on thermocouples. A thermocouple consists of two dissimilar metals connected in series. To detect radiation, one metal junction is typically blackened to absorb the radiation. The temperature rise of this junction with respect to another non-irradiated junction generates a voltage. Our thermopile power sensors offer broadband, spectrally flat response, and calibrated plug and play operation with our optical power meters.

Soil Moisture, Temperature, and EC Sensors
Soil volumetric water content probes (sometimes referred to as soil moisture sensors) measure the water content of soil. These probes can be used to estimate the amount of stored water in a profile or how much irrigation is required to reach a desired amount of water in the soil. These probes can be used for quick measurements or installed for long-term measurements.

Pressure Sensors
Pressure sensors have particular utility for monitoring the pressure in a fluid network. As compared with flow sensors, pressure sensors often require less cost to achieve a similar result. Pressure sensors are often fabricated using thin membranes that flex under pressure.Some pressure sensors function in a binary manner, i.e., when pressure is applied to a pressure sensor, the sensor acts to complete or break an electical circuit. Some speed cameras use them.

Gas Flow Sensors
ESRF-HF Transmitter
The ESRF-HF is a family of mass flow transmitters which enable fast and accurate measurements of gas flow over a wide dynamic range. Each transmitter integrates a MEMS flow sensor and readout electronics inside a housing with very small form factor made from stainless steel. The duty pressure of the flow transmitter is 11bar. All measurement data are fully calibrated, and temperature compensated on board, leading to a reduced temperature coefficient and high measurement accuracy.
