Strip Heater What Is A Strip Heater And What Is It Used For?

A strip heater is a device which is mounted on a surface and used to heat the surface or air (gasses).

What is a Cartridge Heater and how does it work? What Is A Cartridge Heater And What Is Used For? – Omega Engineering

Cartridge heaters are most frequently used for heating metal parts by insertion into drilled holes.

Industrial Heaters what is an industrial electric heater?

Electric heaters are used in a variety of processes where the temperature of an object or process needs to be increased.

Everything you need to know about Immersion Heaters Everything you need to know about Immersion Heaters

An immersion heater is a device which is installed in a tank or container to heat a liquid. The installation can be over-the-side, flanged, or threaded.

An Introduction to Flow Meters An Introduction to Flow Meters

As the name implies a Flow meter is an instrument for monitoring, measuring, or recording the rate of flow, pressure, or discharge of liquids or gasses.

What is an Ultrasonic Flow Meter? What is an Ultrasonic Flow Meter?

An ultrasonic flow meter (non-intrusive Doppler flow meter) is a volumetric flow meter which requires particulates or bubbles in the flow.

What are Electromagnetic Flow Meters? DwyerOmega | Blog | What Are Electromagnetic Flow Meters?

A magnetic flow meter (mag flow meter) is a volumetric flow meter which does not have any moving parts and is ideal for wastewater applications or any dirty liquid which is conductive or water based.

What is a Coriolis Flow Meter and How Does it Work? What Is A Coriolis Flow Meter and How Does It Work

A Coriolis flow meter is a type of mass flow meter. It is designed differently and works differently than thermal or differential mass flow meters.

What are Strain Gauges? DwyerOmega | Blog | What are Strain Gauges?

Strain gauges convert mechanical deformation into measurable resistance changes through the piezoresistive effect. Small resistance shifts are detected using a Wheatstone bridge with amplification and temperature compensation. Common types include linear, diaphragm, rosette, torsion, and dual-parallel gauges—each suited to specific stress directions and materials. Used widely in structural testing, load and pressure measurement, and industrial condition monitoring, strain gauges provide precise data essential for safety, performance, and predictive maintenance across engineering applications.

What are LVDT Sensors? DwyerOmega | Blog | What are LVDT Sensors?

An LVDT is an electromechanical device used to convert mechanical motion or vibrations, specifically rectilinear motion, into a variable electrical current, voltage or electric signals, and the reverse.

Installing Load Cells DwyerOmega | Blog | Installing Load Cells

Each load cell installation is unique. Consult a structural engineer when your application requires very high accuracy, long-term stability, custom specifications, or when using in a varied R&D environment.

Blog Balls Out

Balls Out Have you ever heard someone use the term ‘balls out’? You know, as in giving it maximum effort or going all out. Have you ever wondered where the term comes from? Well, the truth is it probably doesn’t mean what you think it does. For the origins of the term, we need to go back to the late eighteenth century, when Scottish inventor and mechanical engineer James Watt was looking for a way to automatically regulate the speed of a steam engine.

Blog HANI: The Shortcut that ACTUALLY Works

HANI: The Shortcut that ACTUALLY Works Getting the accurate temperature of media flowing through a pipe is a serious pain in the neck. And, up until now, there really has only been one viable option: immersion sensors. But now there is another option: the HANI. It's quick, it's accurate, its non-contact. The HANI temperature sensor is the short cut that actually works.
