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.
