Whether
it is simple components like Strain Gage Foils, TC Wire, RTD
Elelments to build your own Transducers right out to full blown
Powerful Gauges with Analog and Digital Readouts calibrated to
Engineering units to many standards, these companies will most
probably have what you need for your measurement systems.
The
three words: Sensors, Transducers, Gauges
Sensors are often regarded as
digital devices with On-Off outputs. Examples are Inductive and
capacitive devices to detect presence rather than read values.
Typically
detect the presence of something and the most common types are
Ultrasonic, light or inductive using magnetism.
Transducers are able to measure
through a range and be calibrated to give Engineering unit of
measure but need signal conditioners and readouts.
Typical
convert a primary physical parameter (temperature, pressure,
force) to an electrical signal. This may require a signal conditioner
connected to the transducer to amplify and make useful signal
such as with RTD, strain gauges, thermocouples etc.
Gauges are transducers with
signal conditioners, readouts and are calibrated to engineering
units, so are immediately useful.
Typically
give outputs that represent secondary physical parameters such
as wall thickness, height, sound level, colour, roundness. These
are usually a whole instrument in them selves that can be connected
to a automation or instrumentation system as data.
A
good example of Gauges is the Karl Deutsch products or Centec's
products.

LFEs = Laminar Flow
Elements
Put a good quality
differential bi-directional Manometer across the LFE and you
get a Flow output that is almost puely linear across the LFEs
range. A two point polynomial straightens the output right out.
Errors of 3% without and 1% with correction.
MasTec has used these
Meriam LFE products in systems for many years. Meriam is the
USA's leading LFE makers
MasTec can assist
you in software and calibration of LFEs also.
